cost center validity period change

[Former Member]

Hello,

When I created a new cost center, I gave the wrong date range. I put validity period as 12/06/2007--12/31/9999

it should have been <b>07/01/2007-12/31/1999</b>

The system doesn't allow me to change the analysis period as its back dated. Any idea? Should I be blocking the cost center and creating it again with the correct date format?

Correct help gets point!!!

Thanks,

Rob

Rob, to follow on from the other posts, the top two identify how you add a new range.

However I am guessing the problem you have is that you dont want it open until a certain date. If that is the case, you should have two date ranges, once you have created the second interval.

Make sure you block the second one.
