Hi All,

I have created a customization where a batch job needs to run strictly on "Period End Dates" monthly. As per my requirement these end dates are dynamic and can fall on various days of the month.

By month end period I mean: - go to GL> Calendar> Fiscal calendar > Periods Tab Grid. (Image attached)

I am considering two solutions:
Daily Check: Run the job every day but include a check at the start. If today date matches the "Period End Date," the job continues; otherwise, it exits.
Self-Rescheduling: The job runs once and, upon finishing, automatically calculates and schedules itself for the next dynamic period-end date.

Is there better approach or trigger that only fires for end dates only?
