Finding Accounting Period Name from a Specific Date

Avatar photoCustomer November 26, 2024 at 10:27 pm

I have a specific date (e.g., 23-Apr-2025) and need to find the corresponding Oracle accounting period name. Which FSG function performs this lookup?

      You should use the function `br_period_from_date`. This function returns the accounting period name corresponding to the specified date.

      If the ledger is specified, where does the function get the calendar definition?

      The period names returned are Ledger-specific, meaning they follow the calendar of the selected ledger.

      Can I use an offset with this date?

      Yes, the Offset parameter allows you to retrieve future or past periods by specifying a positive or negative numerical offset value. A negative offset retrieves past periods, such as -1 for the previous period.
