Setting up a brand new NS Environment,  I have 2 Fiscal Calendars.
• One will be Calendar Months so 12 base periods.
• The other will be 4 week periods so 13 base periods.
Added January to the Calendar Month Calendar.
Trying to add Period 1 to the second calendar.  With both start 01/01/2024,

I'm getting getting the following error...
"*Illegal period structure. Date 1/1/2024 is in multiple periods.*"

Any experience or insight here is appreciated.

The accounting periods between calendars are not different. The main point of the feature is to let you re-arrange periods (used by all calendars) with differing year-ends, so you can do your Retained Earnings roll at different times for different subs based on calendar.

I understand what you're trying to do, but the accounting periods/calendars don't work that way unfortunately. I'm not sure of a way to do what you're attempting where your periods have differing dates between calendars.

Thank you. That jives with a SA article I was given by a colleague.  For other readers…

The base period has to be consistent across all fiscal calendars.
