Definition

The settlement period in the form of year and month represents additional information for evaluations. The field does not control any updates of any values at all. Specify the year and month in the following format: YYYYMM (for example, "199605 for May 1996).

Examples

If receivables or payables are not posted in the period in which they occurred, then you can enter the period in which they occurred here. This function can be used, for example, for charges which are to be paid subsequently for one of the previous months.
