Re: Understanding the 'relativePeriodDate' property

 

Good morning Vanya,

the relative period functionality always returns the last X "closed"
months. For fetching the ongoing period you need to select the option: this
month.
It is consistent with the behavior that you described, so I think that you
will need to send 2016-08-01 as the relativePerioDate to get the dates that
you want.

Cheers,

Marta
