Application Creation Calendar Enhancements

When you're creating a new application with a first month other than January, you must also select the Fiscal Year Start Date (Same Calendar Year or Previous Calendar Year). Previously, the default option was Same Calendar Year. With this update, the new default option is Previous Calendar Year. Additionally, the Create Application: Details page shows the first fiscal year range based on your selection. On Create Application: Review, you can review your Fiscal Year Start Date selection. After the application is created, you can see the Fiscal Year Start Date selection on the Application Overview tab.

Business Benefit: The new default option for Fiscal Year Start Date (Previous Calendar Year) aligns with the option most customers need. Because the selection of the Fiscal Year Start Date parameter is critical for the correct creation of the Years dimension and the underlying calculations for periods, showing the impact of the selection while you are creating the application ensures that the calendar for the application is created as expected.
