Multi period closing functionality in BCS.

[Former Member]

How does multiperiod closing functionality works in BCS.

If I want to perform consolidation on "monthly' and on 'quarterly' frequency is it useful?

We need consolidation on monthly and quarterly data.

Most of the task are run on monthly data, but some task need to run on quarter end , using quarterly data.

hence we want to use the 0FISCPER3 and 0CALQUARTER as period characteristic in BCS.

To achieve the consolidation using monthly and quarterly data can be use the multiperiod functionality of BCS.

I have checked /gone thru that.

Most of the function required to be executed to be executed on monthly except COI function, which is required to done on quarterly basis with quarterly data only.

If I execute in last period of the month , once the last period data will be considered for execution? That is why thought that will keep the monthly and quarterly as a period.

Also keeping the quarter as a period helps a lot in quarterly report generation.

You can use quarterly Consolidation frequency for C/I Task only. In task you can use differnct Frequency and Period category.

Please check
