BCS special periods - SAP standard purposes?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there a standard purpose for each of the special periods in the K4 fiscal year variant (12 monthly periods plus 4 special periods)?

I understand that these can be used for ay purpose, eg year end adjustments, audit adjustments etc. but is there a standard guide from SAP as to what each of p13, 14 , 15 & 16 is for?

The extra periods are for making adjsutments entires, apporpriation entires such amortization, bad debts, dividends, etc.
