Forecast periods are similar to budget periods that aim to control the promotion of
forecast plans.

Forecast periods can be created for a closed budget period. Forecast plans can be promoted only
if the forecast fiscal month period is open.  
Note:  
Only one forecast period can be open at any point in time.
