Assigning Budget Periods
To assign budget periods:
1. In the Define Budget window, enter the First period of your budget. Once you save the budget, you cannot change the first period.
2. If you want to copy budget amounts from an existing budget, the first and last periods must be the same as the first and last periods of the budget you are copying from, although the year can be different.
3. Enter the Last period for your budget. Your budget can include up to sixty periods per year, and can span an unlimited number of fiscal years.
4. Save your work. General Ledger displays the Latest Open Year in your budget. This is blank until you open the first year of your budget.
To change the last budget period:
- You can change the last period to a later period only if the period you are changing from corresponds to the last period of your fiscal year.
