How is the Current Period in Syteline determined?
First, Syteline looks at the Current Fiscal Year in the General Parameters. Then, in the Accounting Periods screen, finds the period for that year.  Once that year is found, it looks at the Current Period for that year.  Then the Allowable Days Backwards and Forwards from the General Parameters are taken into consideration, and that determines the current period.    Egs:  General Parms shows Current Fiscal Year=2004, Allowable Days Backwards=3 and Allowable Days Forwards=10.  In Accounting Periods screen/form, find record for 2004.  On that record, Current period=10, which is defined as 10/1/04 - 10/31/04.  The allowable days backwards/forwards would then be factored in, and this would mean that SL would consider the current period to be 9/27/04 - 11/10/04.
