Overview
This article will explain the format for creating a working Financial Periods file. This will enable the user to create a file that defines the financial periods of the business within Purchase to Pay (Trade Simple).
Financial Periods files work in conjunction with Budget Values - see Tradesimple - Budget Values Files for more information.
Please note: The file is not incremental and will overwrite any previous financial period file. To avoid receiving a budget overspend message, it is advised to have the previous year's periods included whenever there is a new upload.
