• Quarters – This option divides the year into three-month sub-periods.

• Calendar Months – This option divides the year into twelve calendar sub-periods.

• 4 Weeks – This option divides the year into thirteen four-week sub-periods

• 4-4-5 Weeks – The year, with 52 weeks, consists of a series of four sub-periods that follow this pattern. This option defines a quarter with the first two months as seven-day, four-week months, while the third month is defined as having five weeks of seven days each.
