Use these fields to print the Branch Multiperiod Analysis.
1. Format
Specify whether to print the A-accumulated, C-comparison or M-multiperiod format. The program defaults to A.
2. Beginning Branch
Specify the first branch number for which you want to see information. The program defaults to the branch assigned to the terminal on which you are working. You can also click the Search button or press F2 to search for existing branches. Press F1 to enter FIRST.
3. Ending Branch
Specify the last branch number for which you want to see information. The program defaults to the branch assigned to the terminal on which you are working.
4. Number Periods Back
If you selected Comparison format, enter the number of periods back that you want to compare against the beginning and ending periods you entered. For instance, say in the beginning and ending fields you indicate that you want to see Periods 1 and 2 and you want to compare 12 periods back for each. Assuming that your company operates on 12 periods per fiscal year, the report would give you the following comparisons:
|
Period 1 |
12 back from Period 1 |
Period 2 |
12 periods back from Period 2 |
