This used to change following or previous year calendar months to non calendar year period as specified. We can define with -1 or +1 also if required. This Key is called as Annual Displacement Key also. In the example in the picture: the first month of the calendar month is changed as the 10th period of the Non Calendar Year with the help of Year shift key. For defining the shortened fiscal year we need to select the check box only. Shortened fiscal year means the defined periods are less than the normal fiscal year periods.
Year dependant fiscal year and Year Independent fiscal year:
If the fiscal year and the period start date and end dates does not change with the fiscal years; is called as year independent fiscal years. Calendar year and non calendar may be called as the independent fiscal years. Year Dependant fiscal year changes the start and close dates from year to year.
