To Configure a Book Calendar with Week-Based Periods

You add a book calendar for each non-posting book you add to the system by using the Book Calendar Setup (FA206000) form. For each calendar, you have to define the parameters of the financial year, including its starting and ending dates and its periods.

  1. Open the Book Calendar Setup (FA206000) form.
  2. In the Book box, select the book for which you want to set up a book calendar.
