13-Period Week Hierarchy for Reporting

A new 13-Periods Year Hierarchy has been added to the Timeset (date dimension) table to support reporting scenarios where financial data is tracked by weeks (1–53) instead of months.

To make the available hierarchies easier to identify, the related Timeset columns have been renamed using dedicated prefixes:

▪13P – 13-Periods Year Hierarchy

▪13FP – 13-Periods Fiscal Year Hierarchy

▪53W – 53-Weeks Year Hierarchy

▪CY – Calendar Year Hierarchy

▪FY – Fiscal Year Hierarchy

▪ISO – ISO Weeks Year Hierarchy

As part of this change, existing report layouts have been updated where necessary, including Financial layouts, which now use the Fiscal Year Hierarchy by default.


▶ The default value of the paramFYStartMonthNumber report parameter is now 1 (January).
