Documentation

Definition

Specifies the number of period in the period split that have the corresponding period unit.

Note

The system can display up to 50 periods.

Example

You have entered a planning period for workforce planning starting 3 months before the current date and ending 12 months after.

For this planning period you specify the following period split:

Period no.    Period unit    Number of periods

1    Week    11

2    Day    20

3    Week    4

4    Month    3

This means you display the past period at the start of the planning period in weeks. For the immediate future you select a very detailled display in days. For the more distant future you need less detail and therefore choose progressively longer periods.

If the period split does not cover the whole planning period, only those periods are displayed that have been defined. The system, however, does read the data for the whole planning period, so that you can display the missing periods by changing the period split in the transaction.
