Period Offset

Returns the period name that is the specified number of periods into the past or the future.

Parameter Description
Period Name The period name as configured in Oracle Cloud. This parameter must be entered in exactly the same format as the period names in Oracle. For example if your period names are configured as follows “Jan-07” in Oracle Cloud and you enter “Jan-2007” or “January-07” or “jan-07” for this parameter, GL Wand will not return any data, and will instead return an Error (Period) message.
Offset Enter an offset to return the period name which is n periods before or after the entered criteria e.g. enter 3 to return 3 periods into the future or -1 to return the previous period.
Return Range Set this value to true to return the result as a range e.g. entering period Mar-07 with an offset of -2 and the Return Range parameter set true will return “Jan-07-Mar-07”. This can be used in conjunction with the CTD (Custom to Date) balance type in the Get Balance function to create rolling period reporting.
Ledger Optionally enter a Ledger Id to bind the formula to a specific Ledger. If this parameter is omitted, the Ledger currently selected in the Ledger dropdown list will be used.

Example: =OCL_GLW_Period_Offset(“Jan-02”,6,TRUE)
