Change of reporting period for entity (From Jan- Dec to Apr-Mar) in OS

Question

Hello All,
Is there a functionality of&nbsp;Change of reporting period for entity (From Jan- Dec to Apr-Mar) in OS. For Example, if currently I am working for FY Jan to Dec but in future, I want my FY to be changed to April - Mar, so how can I achieve the changes without getting any impact in the historical data?

That is along the lines of how I have handled local entities having a different fiscal-year than that of corporate.&nbsp; You basically need a cube for each fiscal year, with each cube using an appropriate fiscal year specific time profile.&nbsp; You need to build logic to copy the data between the fiscal year cubes.&nbsp; The logic needs to know how to time shift between the source and destination cube, including converting values, and dealing with year-end rolls.&nbsp; I also use the time shift functions so that I can use a common set of FXRates for all the cubes.

Hi, may I ask for some additional information, please.
Do you mean a single entity, or a sub-group consisting of several entities, or all entities?
Assuming it is not all entities, what is the (overall) group's closing calendar, still Jan-Dec?
