A period designates a time interval for entering or consulting data.
To manage periods : Periods
- activeperiod : The most recent period in which entries can be made. At the end of each year, during the December platform initialization, an extra year is added to maintain active period years in the future of around 10 years.
- currentperiod : The period selected by the user to work with, whether it's the current period or a past period , chosen via the interface or for specific processing. This is the case for retroactive entry via the period selector.
This screen lets you manage your platform's periods, including period dates and exercise dates. This screen has two tabs:
Periods are distinguished from fiscal years in order to distinguish between different start-up months. For example, activity entries are based on periods (July 2024), while budgets are based on fiscal years (company fiscal year: July 2024 ➡️ June 2025).
It is useful to know the earliest date that will be in the platform (project start date) and to create the corresponding periods in this screen.
