Definition

Account transaction figures are updated per period within the fiscal year. A maximum of 16 periods can be updated. You define how a fiscal year is divided into periods per company code. You might choose, for example, to divide your fiscal year into 12 periods (per calendar month) or 13 periods (every 4 weeks). If you define fewer than 16 periods, the remaining periods (for example, 13-16 or 14-16) can be used as special periods.
