Notes:
For Period, Parent should be specified for most update operations.
Type (such as Base or Rollup) cannot be changed for existing members. You can add and update Rollup and Alternate members. You can update BegBalance and Base time periods (for example, to add an alias). You cannot add or modify YearTotal time period. The DTS Period type is recognized, but is not supported by the Outline Load utility. If you try to load DTS information, the utility displays an error in the log file.
Start Period and End Period are valid for Rollup Period types.
Plan type names and numbers depend on what is defined in the application.
For properties common to Period and Account members, see Account Dimension Properties.
