Example we define test group  with doctype lines

DocType group Implementation in Period Control managent, allow open a doctype group. This open 2 period control
![Doctype Group Period](pathname:///img/new-features/v11/Doctype_Group_Period.png)
Period Control Management new field added, Document Base Type Group, which allow filter with group multiple period controls. in this example 2 periods.

**Real example:**

The user needs to open one quarter for 11 doc base types (costing) - when the user opens period control info, selects 3 months range, then it returns 32*3=96 period control entries and as next step, must select 11*3=33 period controls for this area.

Instead of this the user could now quickly select one from the predefined groups every time.
