Define Financial Year

In this step, you define financial years.

A financial year is a period of time on the basis of which budget structure elements can be selected, displayed or edited.

You define a financial year by giving it a name and assigning it a user-definable period.

Example

Recommendation

Always try to assign appropriate names which link the financial year to the calendar year in question.

Activities

1. Choose New entries.
2. In the Financial year field, enter a name for the financial year.
3. Enter a validity period for the financial year.

Further Notes
