Abstract: We present a class of multiplicative functions $f:mathbbNomathbbC$ with bounded partial sums. The novelty here is that our functions do not need to have modulus bounded by $1$. The key feature is that they pretend to be the constant function $1$ and that for some prime $q$, $su{m}_{k=0}^{i}nftyfracf(q^k)q^k=0$. These combined with other conditions guarantee that these functions are periodic and have sum equal to zero inside each period. Further, we study the class of multiplicative functions $f=f_{1}ast{f}_2$, where each $f_j$ is multiplicative and periodic with bounded partial sums. We show an omega bound for the partial sums $su{m}_{nleqx}f(n)$ and an upper bound that is related with the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem.
