Definition

A bookyear represents a specific accounting period (typically 12 months) within a folder. It defines the temporal structure that accounting systems universally impose.

Purpose

Accounting is fundamentally organized around periods that must be opened and closed.
All transactions must be recorded within these periods, and companies are required to report financial results for each bookyear.

Relationships

  • Belongs to a specific folder.
  • Contains all accounting records for that accounting period.
  • Multiple bookyears can exist within a folder for historical management, but usually only one is active at a time.
  • Operations are typically prohibited on closed bookyears.
