What's the difference between project accounting period, an accounting period, and a general ledger period ?


This below article will give you information on the difference between project accounting period, an accounting period, and a general ledger period




Project accounting periods are used to track budgets and forecasts, summarize project amounts for reporting, and track project status. Project accounting periods are maintained by business unit. You can set up project accounting periods to track project periods on a more frequent basis than accounting periods. 
For example, you can define weekly project accounting periods and monthly accounting periods. If you use the same calendar as your accounting periods, the project accounting periods and accounting periods will be the same, although the statuses are maintained independently.

Accounting periods, which are used to derive accounting dates, are maintained by ledger and use the same calendar as the general ledger periods. Period statuses for the accounting period and general ledger period are maintained independently.



Fig: As shown in the below diagram you can define weekly project accounting periods and monthly accounting periods, as shown in the image.
