Fiscal Year Change - New Implementation

Experts,

We are implementing Asset Accounting as on 01.01.2008. I have transferred all the settings in Production.

In customising I have given the transfer date as 31.12.2007. Everything is fine.

Except the fiscal year is showing as 2007. Why?? If I don't change it, I can't upload the legacy data.

I have tried to change the fiscal year via AJRW, but its not getting changed. I assume the reason is as there are no assets in production yet.

Please help how shall I change the fiscal year to 2008..
