   1. Quarterly - Four periods will be created for the fiscal year. 
   2. Monthly - One period created is equivalent to a month. 
   3. Weekly - Will create periods by weekly. 

   Note
   If Origin Integration is enabled from the Company Preference, the only accepted period is Monthly since Origin requires 12 or 13 periods only per fiscal year.

7. Suppose Monthly is selected, click OK button to start generating the period.
8. Periods created will be displayed on the grid area. Each period has its Start Date, End Date and Status. Initially, status is Open.
