Definition

This field defines the frequency of the periods to be planned (measured in the number of periods).

The standard frequency is '1'. This means that you can plan each period within the interval defined by the "To period" and the "From period".

Example

If you only want to enter planned values each quarter, you can do so by entering

From period.......... 3
To period............ 12
Period frequency..... 3

This means that you can only plan values for periods 3, 6, 9 and 12.
