Generate Book Calendars

Form ID: (FA501000)

By using this form, you can generate financial periods through the specified year for selected depreciation books (or all books) for which calendars were configured. The periods for the posting book are generated in accordance with the general ledger calendar. The periods for the non-posting books are generated in accordance with the book calendars you have set up on the Book Calendar Setup (FA206000) form.

Note: If the Multiple Calendar Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, calendars can be generated separately for each company, and you can decide for which company new periods will be generated.
