         <Paragraph>You can generate
		  weekly or monthly periods depending on the settings of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0270m000#per.num" role="manual">One-Period Duration</GUIRef> fields. These periods are then available in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0170m000" role="session">Periods (tcccp0170m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>The first period and
