Running a Custom Calculation from a Business Rule with a MemberFilter for Time periods
We are trying to do a multi-year planning application. One requirement is the ability to calculate out-months into the next year of the plan.
One solution that would be very useful is the ability to run a custom calculation with a variable set of time periods.
"BRApi.Finance.Calculate.ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule" has an enumerated argument of CustomCalculationTimeType.
One of the enumerations is "MemberFilter", but there is no indication or documentation regarding how to supply the member filter for Time periods to execute for.
Would anyone know how to implement this, or where I could find the details regarding its usage?
Thanks in advance for any information or leads.
