Definition

When performing automatic generation of non-dailies, the system determines an individual period date for each individual period for the generation rule. This date represents the start of the individual period but does not take absolute or offset entries or public holiday rules into account.
(In dailies generated automatically, this date is always the same as the publication date).

The individual period date assigns the issue to a period and is also the decisive date for automatic determination of the sequential number in the year.

The following applies to individual issue processing:

  • Creating: You must specify the individual period date.
  • Changing: The individual period date can no longer be changed.
