Hi Lars,

I would not suggest removing the restrictions completely. A suggestion for monthly period types would be to have no more than 36 months into the future. If you consider use cases that deal with monthly subscriptions, it is possible to have a scenario where a year or two is paid in advance. 

If there are no objects, could you do this fairly quickly?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Busoye

The problem I am having is that I can't see these months in the data entry screen. Is there a way around this or anything else I need to do to allow the later periods to be visible for data entry?
