Date Compression Field

The Item Analysis View Table

This field contains the period that the program will combine entries for in order to create a single entry for that time period. By using date compression, you specify the level of detail for an analysis view. For example, if you want to analyze item information for an analysis view on a monthly basis, you can use date compression to sum all entries in a given month and create one single entry for the entire month.

The program assigns the date of the first day in the period to the period as a whole. However, closing entries will be given the date of the last posted entry in that period.
