LINK TO PERIODS

Use this subtask to define the periods and subperiods belonging to a given JE Cycle. The system will use the periods and subperiods assigned to this cycle when creating Recurring JEs.

If you do not yet know the subperiod in which a JE to be assigned to this cycle should be created, you can assign more than one subperiod for a period to a JE Cycle. However, because a JE number cannot be reused within a period, you can create the JE only once for a given period in the Create Recurring JEs screen.

If you have a JE that you need to create every subperiod, set up one JE for each subperiod required. Assign each JE to a cycle with a consistent subperiod and run the Create Recurring JEs screen for each of those JEs. For example, to set up a JE to recur the first three subperiods in every period of a fiscal year, you would set up JE Cycles as shown in the following table:

Then create three different RJEs with the accounts, amounts, etc., exactly the same, but with each assigned to the appropriate cycle, as in:
