In Resource Usage I show planned work for each resource by month so the Programme Manger can see future demands for each member of staff or resource type. I do this by rolling up to resource name level and setting the bottom tier timescale to Months
I am loading the resource profiles into our accounting system where the month of March is actually 19 Feb to 25 March but is called March. This is a problem because the March profile in my schedule (1st - 31st Mar) does not match the March profile in the finance system.
Is there a way to set the timescale up so that I can roll up the 5 weeks into a summary figure which is March?

Welcome to PP.
In MSP 2000, the short answer is NO.
MSP is a scheduling programme, not an accounting programme. We have exactly the same issue, owing to the fact that we have accounting/finance periods of 5,4,4. Whether later versions are able to cope with this, I don’t know.
HTH.
James.
