Topic: Periods

Hello again!

Maybe I can't find it but is there a way to change the budget periods from monthly to something else? My organization uses three periods a year.

If there is not a GUI option which files/tables do I need to look at to modify it to handle this request, or is it just a major problem?

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Periods

Ok, found it.

in gl/gl_budget.php
you just need to change the value
158             $date_ = add_months($date_, **X**);

where **X** is the number of months in a period

77                $da = add_months($da, **X**);


This gets things into the DB right but does not help in creating the P/L reports!

WIll report back

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Periods

Hello Rob,
You could also just enter the budgets for the first month in very 4:th month. F.i. January 20000, May 15000, September 25000 (= total year 60000).
If you use the same periods in the P/L you get it right!
