Changing FY Variant

Hello,

Currently, in our FY variant, the last period for 2011 is set to end on 9/24/2011. The last period for 2011 should be ending on 10/1/2011. When I tried to extend the last period, the system delivers this warning message FGV618, "Changing the period assignment can cause inconsistencies". I backed out and did not save changes.

We do not do any apprciation in SAP and the period in question has not been posted to yet.

Is making this change under our current circumstances going cause any harm?
