Review the Accounting Calendar and Generate Additional Forecasting Periods

You can review the accounting calendar Setup Assistant created for you. Optionally, you can generate forecasting periods for additional years in the future in your review.

If you need to make other changes to the accounting calendar, if you need to start the calendar in an earlier year, for example, then you must create a new accounting calendar. See the Create the Accounting Calendar topic in the Implementation Reference guide. You can't create a different accounting calendar after you start using your calendar for forecasting and reporting.

   • Offering: Sales

3. The Edit Accounting Calendar page displays the periods created for you by year from the starting date you entered in Setup Assistant. You can change the year format and generate periods for additional years.

   1. On the Edit Accounting Calendar page, click Add Year.
