One option mentioned has been to enhance the error reporting within the
wizard, which will be great.

Another suggestion could be to ignore that wizard when demo data is
involved and initially creating a new database.

The reason is that when users in countries like Australia have a
different financial year starting month, we without thinking try and get
the wizard to conform to their own accounting standards, forgetting the
fact that a fiscal year and monthly periods have already been predefined
and setup with the demo data.

Title:
  Improve error reporting in Fiscal Year creation wizard

Status in OpenObject Addons Modules:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. To replicate

Create new db - with demo data checked. (GTK Client)
Select accounting & finance module
During config select generic chart of accounts and change fiscal year to 1/4/2010 to 31/3/2011.
Press Configure

2. Result Observed
modal box - ValidateError Error occurred while validating the field(s) date_start,date_stop: Error! You cannot define overlapping fiscal years

3. Result expected - No error
4. Platform Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, OpenERP latest revisions (3072, 1708, 3983 server, client, addons) running inside Helios Eclipse, Python 2.6, postgres 8.4 - although have experienced on other recent revisions

Just tried to replicate with demo data unchecked and it works fine so my geuss is that the demo data is creating some fiscal years, which the config wizard is not happy about.
