The Period function enables you to perform the following:

1. Forecasting: Allows you to view and optionally modify the contents of the CCCMOD table generated during batch processing.
2. Rate Determination: Enables you to establish or determine accurate rates for future accounting periods based on forecasted utilization levels and cost recovery goals.
3. Copy MOD -> TAB: Copies the contents of the CCCMOD table to the CCCTAB table-if you used a copy command to create the CCCMOD table.
