Costpoint uses the periods and subperiods assigned to this cycle when creating recurring journal entries.

If you do not yet know the subperiod in which a journal entry to be assigned to this cycle should be created, you can assign more than one subperiod for a period to the journal entry cycle. However, because a journal entry number cannot be reused within a period, you can create the journal entry only once for a given period on the Create Recurring Journal Entries screen.

Cycles for Recurring Journal Entries that Recur Multiple Times in a Period

If you have a journal entry that you need to create in more than one subperiod in each period, set up one journal entry for each subperiod required. Assign each journal entry to a cycle with a consistent subperiod and run the Create Recurring Journal Entries screen for each of those journal entries.

For example, to set up a journal entry to recur the first three subperiods in every period of a fiscal year, you set up journal entry cycles as shown in the following table:

Then create three recurring journal entries with identical accounts, amounts, and so on, but with each assigned to a different journal entry cycle, as below:
