Selecting an accounting period The period of time for which Position Inventory data can be tracked, which is by the month, the year, or the fiscal year. Note that the Accounting Period is controlled and defined by the FinMIS calendar and is usually equal to the calendar month, but not always. The Accounting Period is stated in MON-YY format. MON is the calendar month, and YY is the calendar year. Current snapshot of the selected month.
Data is usually available after the last business day of the month.
The first month for which data is available in the Data Warehouse is July 1997. The month previous to the Accounting Period selected is subtracted from Accounting Period. This comparison will not be valid through June 1998 because the first available accounting period is July 1997. For example, July 1998 to July 1997. Note that for FY1988, the comparison is being made to July 1997.
