Follow our step-by-step docTags: createdAt: 2022-01-24T17:59:51.000Z --- This feature provides a variety of actions, such as **including, changing, and deleting the period cycle with start and end date**, to be used in the financial control. Each item registered in the "**Financial Attributes**" option within the "**Business Service**" of any Portfolio, has as a field the Cycle. A Cycle should be selected in a list in that form. The "**Profitability Reporting of Contracts**" depends on the registration of cycles. ## Procedure 1. Access the main menu `General Registration > Personnel Management > Cycle`; 2. Click on "**New**"; 3. Complete all mandatory fields; 4. It is worth remembering that: - Each date range should be unique, even with different titles. The system takes care to prevent this type of redundancy and inconsistency; - The exclusion of the cycle is not allowed if it is linked to some revenue or expense of the financial control. 5. Click on "**Save**".
