The scenario dimension member Budget was selected to define the
data entry scope for the purpose of the examples in this chapter. Figure 7-30 shows
the data entry scope that is selected for the Corporate Budget 2008 cycle described
in this chapter.
The next page in the Create a Cycle wizard is the Start and End Date page. This
is where the cycle start date and end date are defined. This is not to be confused with
the data entry scope dates defined in the previous page. The cycle start and end date
determines how long a cycle is available to the users for entering and submitting data.
In a typical corporate scenario, the budgeting analyst will have a two- to three-month
window during to enter the budget for the next year. This two- to three-month window
is captured in the cycle Start and End Date page, whereas the next year for which the
budgeting is done is captured in the previous data entry scope definition page. The start
date of December 1, 2007 and an end date of January 31, 2008 is selected as the cycle
start and end dates for the purpose of the examples in this chapter.
