7.3.2 Compile Fiscal Periods

To assign a year or a fiscal year to the fiscal periods of the legal entity, use the Compile Fiscal Periods process.

To compile a set of fiscal periods for a year, perform the following steps:

1. During deployment, the user with administrator privileges can set up Compile Fiscal Periods using this procedure, or, after deployment, the administrator can compile the fiscal periods by navigating to the Fiscal Period Settings. To navigate to Fiscal Period Settings, on the Home page, click Administration, and click Fiscal Period. The Fiscal Period Settings page is displayed. Select the Compile tab. During deployment, a user with Administrator privileges can set up Fiscal Periods using the same procedure.
2. On the Compile tab, click Start Dateand select the required value. Then click End Date and select the required value.

   Recompilation of a start date cannot perform data load for earlier dates than the start date which has already been compiled. In this scenario, a data ingestion service fails with an error as the partitions cannot be created for earlier dates.

3. Click Compile.
   A date dimension and calendar of fiscal periods for the legal entity for the selected date range is generated.
