A business period is a time period used as a unit of planning and measurement in reporting. Configure 52 business periods (each one represents seven days) for your film planning/financial year.
A business period can start on any day (Monday–Sunday). In a film planning/financial year, Week 1 always starts on this chosen day regardless of when the actual New Year's Day falls.
The Business Period records in Head Office > Maintenance let you manage your business periods.
