NPE results in Calendar Year and Period window

1. open "Calendar Year and Period"
2. in tab "Year" create new record example Year = 2016
3. save changes
4. in new record, click in "Create Periods" button, now Click on cancel button of the Pop up window.
5. go to record example Year = 2013
6. click in "Create Periods" button

1. open "Calendar Year and Period" window
2. in tab "Year" open any record , click in "Create Periods" button, now Click on cancel button of the Pop up window.
5. go to one different record
6. click in "Create Periods" button

In both of these instances, if the user does not first select a different record prior to clicking on the "Create Periods" button a NPE error shows. This is a user error by not selecting a different record first.

This needs to be addressed in one of three ways.
deactivate the buttons until the record is selected
Instead of the NPE, create a message to the user "First select a record"
Allow the button to be clicked on and create the periods without an error.
