Setting the period generation horizon

You can configure how often and for how many years new periods are generated.

Note: The period generation horizon is the threshold for creating the periods that are used by SLM touches. A batch job creates new periods at the frequency specified by a user.
To set a new Period Generation Horizon:
  1. In the Period Generation Horizon area of the System page, click the Edit button .
    The Edit Period Generation Horizon dialog opens.
  2. In the Timer Period (days) field, specify how often you want to generate new periods.
  3. In the Generation Horizon (years) field, specify how many years to keep generating new periods.
  4. Click OK.
    The Edit Period Generation Horizon dialog closes.
  5. To run the batch job manually, click the Run batch job now button .
The application will automatically generate the different periods from the current year to the end of the number of years specified.
Note: You can run the batch job manually by clicking the green button at the top of this area.
