Documentation
Definition
A posting period is a self-contained part of a fiscal year. Every business transaction is assigned to a posting period. The debit and credit totals of the different business transactions are accumulated per posting period.
In consolidation, the period is used to determine an upper limit for the value field in the database to be populated.
