What are the calendar year types used in ORACLE APPS?


The Year Type (Fiscal or Calendar), is used only to determine which two digits to append to the system generated period name.

Regardless of which Year Type is used, the 'Year' entered on the Calendar form must be the same for all periods in your fiscal year - whether it is a calendar year or a fiscal year.

   If Year Type = Calendar:
       The last 2 digits of the 'From' date for the period are used.

   If Year Type = Fiscal:
       The last 2 digits of the value in the 'Year' column are used.

Note:- Carefully consider the type of calendar you need for your organization, since it can be difficult to change your calendar (e.g., from a fiscal year to a calendar year) once you've used it to enter accounting data.


Examples are as follows:

   Your fiscal year runs from April 1998 through March 1999.

   For your 1999 fiscal year, you have defined your calendar as:

      
      Prefix  Year   Period From    Period To

      Apr     1999   01-Apr-1998      30-Apr-1998
