What it is for

The rule people get wrong: nothing reads these periods today; no other screen picks one.

Field	What it means	What to put
Category Pricing Period	The code that identifies the category pricing period. You type it on New, before Create.	Required. A short code; it cannot be changed once the record exists.
Name	The name of the category pricing period, shown next to the code wherever it is picked.	Required.
Period	A period label.	Optional.
Date From	Start date.	Optional. A date.
Date To	End date.	Optional. A date.
Block	Stops the category pricing period from being used.	Tick to block. A blocked record drops out of the pick lists other screens use.

Which fields are required, greyed, hidden or pre-filled for a company is set on Organizational Structure Setting, in its Default Parameters grid, and one user can differ through User Parameter Value.

Save refuses because the code already exists. Codes are unique. Open the existing record from the list instead, or pick another code.
