Defining a Domain GL Calendar Year
Use the Domain GL Period activities (25.4.1) to create, modify, or view the domain-level GL calendar year. You can create a new year based on an existing one. This is typically used unless you have changed your legal GL calendar year requirements. When you choose Create, the screen shown in
Domain GL Period Create displays.
