Reason for deprecation |
Global organizations operate as different legal entities in different geographical areas. However, they share a lot of data, such as charts of accounts, currencies, exchange rates, and calendars. Defining this reference and master data once and sharing it across legal entities reduces the cost of maintaining such data across the organization. However, ledger periods, and the associated AssetCalendar tables, did not provide sufficient support for this scenario and have been replaced with more robust shared fiscal calendars. The following tables have been deprecated:
