Creating Values for the Period Type List of Values

The data delivered with the Siebel Consumer Goods application includes the Period Type values of Day, Week, Bi-Weekly, Month, Quarter, Half-year, Year, and Season. If you want to create periods for intervals that are not represented by these values, create a new value. For example, if you want to create half-month periods, create a Period Type value named Bi-Monthly.

The Season Period Type value is required to create seasonal period records. If the Season value is inadvertently deleted from the Period Type list of values in your database, you must restore it.

For more information about administration tasks for lists of values, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
