Which statement describes the relationship between the 13-period calendar and Time Dimension Type?

• A. A 13-period calendar requires a Custom Time Dimension Type.
• B. A 13-period calendar requires a Standard Time Dimension Type.
• C. A 13-period calendar can only be used with a Fiscal Time Dimension Type.
• D. A 13-period calendar is incompatible with OneStream Time Dimensions.

Answer: (A)

Time dimensions define how many periods exist in a year and how they’re organized. A 13-period calendar doesn’t fit the standard 12-period setup, so it requires a Custom Time Dimension Type where you explicitly define 13 periods per year and how they map to dates, quarters, and other time attributes. The built-in Standard Time Dimension Type assumes 12 periods and isn’t adjustable to add a 13th period without customization. The Fiscal Time Dimension Type focuses on fiscal year structure and isn’t inherently about adding an extra calendar period. By using a Custom Time Dimension Type, you can implement a 13-period calendar and leverage it across planning and reporting.
