5.1.2 Modeling Buckets

There is a maximum of 240 modeling buckets available for processing. There is no limit on the modeling horizon. However, the user interfaces display of dates within the Time Bucket Rule is limited to dates less than or equal to 12/31/2499.

Since the Oracle ALM Simulation Engine uses the frequency of the modeling bucket, as expressed in units and multipliers, this user interface restriction does not impact the calculations or the output into the result tables. To model periods extending beyond the year 2499, enter bucket frequencies as needed. Although dates beyond the year 2499 do not appear in the user interface, the cash flow engine can properly handle them.
