If you add a new task to a close schedule with a due date after the defined end date, what is the result?

• A. The new task will run outside of the schedule end date.
• B. An error, you can't add a new task past the due date.
• C. The schedule end date changes to match the end date of the task.
• D. The task will not run.

Answer: (A)

The schedule end date acts as a fixed boundary for the close process. If you add a task with a due date after that boundary, the system does not automatically push out the end date or extend the schedule. The new task will still be executed, but it will fall outside the defined end date of the current close window. There’s no error raised for this, and the end date isn’t changed to match the task’s due date. If you want the task included in the close, you’d need to extend the schedule’s end date yourself.
