Period - this will list the periods to be created. For example, this will show 2002/06, 2002/07, 2002/08.
From and To - for each period the start date and the end date is displayed. The start date confirms when the period is to begin and the end date represents when the period will end, with the difference being the length of the period. For example, start date 01/10/2002 and end date 31/10/2002. The period length will be one month.
New End Date
The end date supplied is determined by the period length as selected in the Time Ledger General Options. For example, if the period started on the 1st November 2002 and its length was set a one month old it will default to end on the 31st November 2002.
Adjusting this date will alter the length of this time period
