Documentation
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 four weeks).
If you define fewer than 16 periods, the remaining periods (for example, 13-16 or 14-16) can be used as special periods.
In the case of accounting documents, the period to be updated is either taken from the posting date or, if a special period is to be updated instead of the last period of a fiscal year, entered manually.
