Creating calendar short years

Use this procedure to create a calendar hierarchy for a short year. The short year calendar does not generate Quarters. You can create quarters manually, if desired, and move the appropriate months or weeks as subordinates. Unlike the regular Create Calendar Year action, the Create Short Year action only alters the hierarchy for the year given.

  1. Select Financials > Global Ledger > Setup > Finance Enterprise Group > Maintenance.
  2. Open a finance enterprise group record.
  3. Click the Calendar tab.
  4. Select a calendar.
  5. Select Actions > Create Short Year.
    If the message Creating an existing year will destroy and recreate it appears, accept to continue.
  6. Specify this information:
    Year
    Specify the year for the calendar.
    Start Date
    Specify the start date of the short year calendar.
    End Date
    Specify the end date of the short year calendar.
  7. Click OK. The calendar periods are created based on the Start Date and End Date.
  8. Select the Hierarchy tab.
  9. Expand the Year to view the periods that are created.
  10. Manually add quarters, if desired.
