Entry of Periodic or Cumulative Data

Use

If you are using online data entry as your data transfer method, you can decide what type of data you want to enter for each consolidation unit. You can enter data periodically or cumulatively. Cumulative entry is the most common input type.

Features

For periodic entry, you enter the change in the total value since the last data entry as the periodic value.

For cumulative entry, you enter the total value as of the entry date.

The input type only determines the type of values you enter in the data entry layout. Irrespective of the input type you choose, the system always saves the change in the total value as a periodic value in the database.
