Change Default Period Subtask

Use this subtask to change the default period for this user.

Contents

The items in this subtask are automatically preloaded in most Costpoint transaction functions. If you enter a different timeframe on a transaction screen, you will temporarily override the module's default period until:

• You enter even another timeframe on a transaction screen
• You select this menu option and change the default period, or
• You exit Costpoint

When you bring Costpoint back up, the default period reverts to the values that you last entered on this screen.

You do not have to enter a Fiscal Year/period/subperiod combination if you prefer not to.
