This table was created for use with DB Analytics (see DB Analytics Overview ) to simplify KPI definitions and reporting in general. This table is created and updated during data conversion to version 8.0 using the information in your GL Reporting Period records. After that, it is automatically updated by creating/editing GL Reporting Period records.
GL Reporting Beginning Period: If a ‘beginning’ period was established for loading data, the Start Date should be set to the beginning of the loading year, not the ‘blank’ date (01011900).
The records in this viewer are managed by the system and should not be added or altered by the user directly. One record is created for each day defined in a GL Reporting Period when the GL Reporting Period is added or saved. The system calculates fields such as the fiscal year, day of the week and day of the month (long and short formats).
