Why Would The Same Period Number Refer to Different Months of the Year for Different Ledgers? (Doc ID 2990478.1)

Goal

When querying against the gl_period_statuses table, the same period_number can return different actual time periods depending on the ledger.

As an example:

User queries this table for period 4:

select * from apps.gl_period_statuses a
where 1=1
and effective_period_num='20190004';
 

This returns a series of rows, some of which show April 2019 and others show July 2019.  This can be confusing if only one of the two periods was expected.
