Dear Harsh,

That sounds a unique case indeed. In Uganda, we order ARV using DHIS2 on a
bimonthly basis yet the supported period is monthly.
The workaround is to train your users to always jump a week and enter for
the week they expect.
You may need to print schedule for the weeks so that they can remember.
Note that when selecting the weekly period in DHIS2, the date range for
that week and week number is displayed. SO if they know the dates, they are
submitting data for, ideally,they should enter data without issues.

Alternatively, you can use a javascript and preset the starting week, then
validate that the period to be selected should be that preset starting week
+ 2, else the data entry should be denied.
