Period LOV in GL journal entry from r12

Question

I am trying to do some customization for the period LOV in GL journal entry form.
In found the below SQL from the record group of the LOV:
  SELECT period_name,
         start_date,
         end_date,
         period_num,
         period_year
    FROM gl_periods
   WHERE period_set_name = :PARAMETER.period_set_name
     AND period_type = :PARAMETER.accounted_period_type
ORDER BY period_year DESC, period_num DESC
Since, I don't know how to get the values for :PARAMETER.period_set_name and :PARAMETER.accounted_period_type ....I ran the SQL
select * from gl_periods where period_name = 'APR-15' 
in toad to find values for period_set_name and values and period_type and then ran the main SQL in toad but it returned lot of records ~500.
But, in the application PERIOD LOV just displays open periods.  I am wondering if you can tell me how it works.
I checked to form to make sure there is no existing personalization for PERIOD LOV.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am pasting my comments next to yours :
These are the issues that needs to be resolved:
• Depreciated balance are over stated in Fixed Assets and needs to be adjusted to reflect what is in GL. => I wasn't sure how this was was possible, since I  assumed that your Asset depreciation journals in GL were being fed from FA. So if depreciation was thought to be incorrect in FA, its corresponding balance in GL should've been incorrect as well. But I guess that's not the case because your other questions imply that some of these assets were acquired and their might have been some conversion activity involved.
• Fixed Assets mass additions are selecting GL accounts that should not be selected. We need to know how to change the criteria for selection. +=> Check the Asset Clearing and CIP clearing accounts on your asset categories+
Later:
• We need to learn the proper way to convert assets we acquired from acquisition into our Oracle Fixed Assets system, so that depreciation start at the time we acquire the assets. => That is correct, you could change your original date placed in service to the acquisition date as part of conversion and if you have the correct prorate convention, they should depreciate the way you want it to.
