You use period categories to group together those periods in a fiscal year for which you have the same requirements regarding data entry and consolidation.
Period categories enable you to:
- Use different data entry profiles in different periods for entering data reported by your consolidation units and groups.
- Assign different task groups to your dimension in different periods.
The period categories that you define are valid in all dimensions in the Consolidation application, and all consolidation versions.
Example
Your requirements could be as follows: You need to perform a simple consolidation each month, using summarized values, and a full half-year and end-of-year consolidation.
You would define two period categories:
- Category "Summarized" with the months 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11
- Category "Detail" with the months 6 and 12
Standard settings
Various period categories are preset in the standard system.
Activities
Look at the preset period categories and modify them as required.
Further notes
You can display the master data of the defined period categories, for example, in order to make a printout. To print the master data, choose the Print function and enter selection criteria for the list. The system generates the list using the ABAP List Viewer. You can use the functions available in this tool to filter data or customize the display of the data columns (for more information, see the documentation on the ABAP List Viewer in the SAP Library).
