Period (PERIO/PERBL/FISCPER)

Characteristics for specifying the reporting period.

Recommendation

Use the PERIO and PERBL characteristics in the report definition as follows:

In actual line item reports: PERIO
In plan line items and totals record reports: PERBL

End of the recommendation.

The characteristics are distributed to the reporting tables as follows:

Reporting Table	Characteristics
CCSS	PERIO, PERBL
RWCOOM	PERIO, FISCPER

The PERIO characteristic in the RWCOOM reporting table corresponds to PERBL in CCSS.
The FISCPER characteristic is a summary of the PERIO and GJAHR characteristics.
FISCPER enables you to define reports that are cross-fiscal year.

Example Example

If you use the PERIO characteristic to specify periods four to six, and the GJAHR characteristic to specify the fiscal years 1999 to 2000, then the system selects values for your report in the following periods of time:

Four to six, 1999 and
Four to six, 2000

If you use the FISCPER to specify 004.1999 to 006.2000, then the system selects the values for your report in the following period of time:

004.1999 to 006.2000

The selection also contains all periods between 007.1999 and 003.2000.

The report group 1SRJ contains reports that have the FISCPER characteristic.

End of the example.
