Update the Last Standard Process Date for Assignments

You can sequence the loading of the element duration dates depending on whether you move the element duration dates forward or backward.

This table describes the various actions involved in updating the last standard process date.

Action	What You Do	Example
Move the element duration dates forward.	Load the final close date first.	You update the final close date from 15-Mar to 15-May and the last standard process date from 15-Feb to 15-Apr.
Move the element duration dates backward.	Load the last standard process date first.	You update the last standard process date from 15-APR to 15-FEB and the final close date from 15-May to 15-Mar.

Let's consider this scenario where you hire an employee on 1-Jan-15 and create their Tax withholding calculation card. You terminate the employee on 15-Jan-16. Further, you update the final close date as 15-Mar-16 and the last standard process date as 15-Feb-16 at the assignment level. At a later point in time, you update the LSPD as 15-Apr-16 and FC as 15-May-16.

You must use these two DAT files to load the LSPD and FC date values separately.
