An exercise period can be based on the calendar year or on your specific activity. This period precisely consists of 12 months. You can assign it to different companies when setting up exercises.
For example, if your budget is calculated over five years, you need to set up five exercise periods on twelve months, then five exercises corresponding to five periods, and eventually, in your budget sheet, you need to set up a display filter including these five periods.
