 +===== Schedules and periods  ===== 
 + 
 +**Schedules** are regular timeframes (e.g. monthly, fortnightly) that may be used for cyclical operations, such as program orders (special types of requisitions). There is no limit to the number of schedules. 
 + 
 +**Periods** are specific timeframes which exist //within// schedules. Periods have a distinct start and end date. They must be sequential and must not have any overlapping dates or gaps between periods.
