All Superinterfaces:

public interface FiscalPeriodSearchSession
extends FiscalPeriodQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching among FiscalPeriod objects. The search query is constructed using the FiscalPeriodQuery.

getFiscalPeriodsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of FiscalPeriods. A more advanced search may be performed with getFiscalPeriodsBySearch(). It accepts a FiscalPeriodSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getFiscalPeriodsBySearch() returns a FiscalPeriodSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting FiscalPeriodList or be used to perform a search within the result set through FiscalPeriodSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated business view: searches include fiscal periods in businesses of which this business is an ancestor in the business hierarchy
• isolated business view: searches are restricted to fiscal periods in this business

Fiscal Periods may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The queryrecord is accessed via the FiscalPeriodQuery.
