Standard Period Ending Dates Entry (GLF965) field descriptions

Use these fields to set up standard period ending dates.

1. Ending Dates

Specify each date beginning with the newest date through to the oldest ending date. On any ending date Click AutoAdd and specify the number of dates to add and the date from which to begin adding. The system automatically assigns the remaining dates. For example, if December 31, 1990, is entered this indicates the last day of the month is always used and the last date of each month is set up. If December 25, 1991 is entered, this indicates the 25th day of the month is always used. If the first date entered ends after the 30th however, the ending dates should always be the last day of the month, press Enter. Do not press F2 to assign remaining dates until entering a date for a month that ends on the 31st.

After all dates are entered, they may be changed or added (new or old) at any time.

Click Save.
