Note: If the Period End Dates for the companies included in the segment are not in synchronization for the periods considered for report extraction, then the Report on Balance Sheet, Report on Income Statement and Report on Trial Balance cannot be launched for the Segment. However the system does not restrict creation of segments for such companies. This is to support a scenario wherein the period end dates of the companies are not in synchronization for a year. However for the preceding/ succeeding year, the companies have common period end dates. In such a case, the report can be launched for the segment for the periods with common period end date.
The system also updates the login ID of the user and the system date in the “Created By” and “Created Date” fields.
