Changing Plan Year End in Plan Details

Attempting to change the Plan Year End in Plan Details for a Plan? Once an annual administration project or plan cycle is created the system locks down the plan year end field. Users can update the Plan Year End in Plan Details with the Field Update Power Tool. Caution should be used when changing only the Plan Year End for a plan as launching Plan Cycles or Annual Administration projects will be based on the new Plan End. If the user is looking to create a short plan year, please review the Creating A Short Plan Year End article on how to do so.
