Configure the Fiscal Year Calendar

A fiscal calendar defines the period of time a company uses for accounting purposes, which may differ from the regular (Gregorian) calendar year. The fiscal calendar ensures consistency in financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting by establishing clear start and end dates for each fiscal period. By configuring the fiscal calendar, you can create visuals and analyze data in your preferred fiscal periods in four granularities: year, quarter, period, and day.

For each source application connected to Energy and Water Data Intelligence, you must first populate financial calendars for the entire calendar interval for which the Calendar Dimension will be loaded.

For instructions on how to define the account and financial calendar, go to the documentation library of any of the Oracle Utilities enterprise cloud applications. Once there, search for and select the Administrative User Guide link, and then go to the section ‘Defining the Account Calendar.'
