In order to use Fiscal Period Reporting, you need to set up your Fiscal Years and Periods first. If you have not done so already, visit How to Create Fiscal Years and Periods.

Once you have added fiscal years and periods, you can use them as filters, along with pre-built ones.  You can easily apply these filters to your lists to create custom fiscal period reports.

Filter by Custom Fiscal Period/Year

The fiscal years and periods you create become available to use as custom filters and you can use them in your lists to:

  • Filter by custom fiscal years – Use this filter to drill into date fields by a specific fiscal year. 
  • Filter by custom fiscal periods – Use this filter to drill into date fields by a specific fiscal period. 

If fiscal period reporting filters are not available in your lists, check that a fiscal year and period exist in your Fiscal years configuration under Settings.  If not, you will have to add a fiscal year or create a fiscal period to use these filters.
