Can we copy periodic between periods?

Hi Team,

I know that periodic is calculated in system as a difference between current month YTD and previous month YTD. What happens if we just copy this periodic from one month to another? 

Many thanks!

Yes, you can copy periodic data between periods (and/or scenarios).  How it will behave will depend upon the scenario settings:

As well as how you write your data buffer.  But you can copy V#Periodic data.

Thank you Teresa. My settings looks exactly like yours. I was wondering what is the way of calculation, we first:

1) Calculate YTD basing on previous month YTD and current month periodic, or

2) Calculate Periodic basing on Current month YTD and previous month YTD.

Many thanks!

I would really need to know more about what you are trying to accomplish before I could comment on a method.  But both V#Periodic and V#YTD are available to use in api.data.calculates, just depends on many other factors of what you are trying to accomplish, account types, scenario settings, etc.  There are always many ways to yield the same answer in OS!

I was just using simple api.data.calculate rather than data buffer
