Period 0 not exist in New FIGL Cube

Question

We are using new FIGL Cube (0FIGL_C10) and trying the drilldown using Posting Period (0FISCPER3), however it only shows period 1 through 16 and also a period that is Null (#).  We are trying to restrict to Period 0, however this does not exist in the provider. 
We are using "Fiscal Year" - 0FISCYEAR and "Posting Period" - 0FISCPER3 for our queries.  The compound "Fiscal year/period" - 0FISCPER has Period Z4/000/2007 and works fine, however when looking at Posting Period alone, it does not show period 0 in the cube.
Does anyone why 0FIGL_C10 does not have Posting Period 0 (Zero)??  Has anyone else come up with a workaround?

Answer 1

that works when using the compound characteristic "Fiscal year/period", however when you don't use the compound field and you use separate characteristic "Fiscal Year" and "Posting Period" there is no period zero in the cube.  Instead, it gets put into posting period "#".  It's weird because the text value is "000", however they key is "#".  When you do a drilldown by posting period, it will show the periods as follows:
001, 002, 003, etc etc and finally "#".  This does not look right, it should display as follows:
000, 001, 002, 003, etc etc.
