What PERIODID will be assigned to the quarter in a time profile defined with week, month, quarter, and year?

In SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP), time profiles are used to structure and manage periods of time in various dimensions such as weeks, months, quarters, and years. Each period is assigned a unique identifier known as PERIODID, which helps in distinguishing different periods for reporting and planning purposes.

In the context of the question, when a time profile is defined to include weeks, months, quarters, and years, specific identifiers are assigned to these periods according to their hierarchy and sequence. The quarter, being a higher level of aggregation than weeks and months but lower than the year, is typically given the identifier that corresponds to its sequence in the defined calendar.

The correct identification of PERIODID2 as the identifier for the quarter indicates that it is the designated marker for that period when using this particular time profile. The use of specific identifiers allows users to programmatically reference periods in their data integrations, reporting processes, or modeling calculations seamlessly.

Thus, seeing PERIODID2 assigned to the quarter clearly aligns with how these periods are structured and recognized within the broader context of a time profile structured in SAP IBP.
