MAINTAIN PERIOD DAYS

Use this screen to enter the days per period that you would like to use to spread budgeted data.  This screen is used in conjunction with the Spread Budgets Based on Days check box in the Maintain Project Budget Settings screen (Projects » Advanced Project Budgeting » Controls).  If you did not select the check box, you can enter data in this screen, but it will not be used.  The intent of this screen is to enable you to spread budget data by month based on the number of days in each month. The selection in the Maintain Project Budget Settings screen is a system-wide selection. 

You should populate this screen before entering budgets in the Maintain Project Budgets and ETC screen (Projects » Advanced Project Budgeting » Project Budget and ETC Master). The system will use the days per period in this screen when you use the "spread" function in the subtasks of the Maintain Project Budgets and ETC screen. The amounts will be spread over the periods based on the weighted number of days in the period.
