4.6.3 Defining the Accounting Calendar Using Online Panels

If your accounting calendar corresponds to your CA MICS
calendar, your accounting calendar is defined automatically
and you can skip this section.  If your accounting calendar
does NOT correspond to your CA MICS calendar, you can define
your accounting calendar using the Accounting Calendar online
panels as discussed in this section.  If you prefer to use
your own macro coding instead of the online panels, refer to
Section 4.6.4.

Figure 4-57 is the Accounting Calendar Panels Worksheet.
