Understanding Accounting Periods

You must define each accounting period in the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Column Headings (P83110) application or the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 52 Period Column Headings (P83110B) application, according to your business requirements. You can access both column heading applications from both the Microsoft Windows client and the web client.

Each fiscal date pattern type is assigned a name for each period. For example, period six might be equal to June. The system uses the name that is assigned to a period in the Date Title and in the column headings of smart fields. Each fiscal date pattern type can have period names to accommodate company-specific fiscal date patterns. For example, a fiscal date pattern for a fiscal year that begins in October has a column heading of October for period 1. A fiscal year that begins in January has a column heading of January for period 1.
