What happens if you attempt to add a new task after the close schedule end date?

• A. An error is returned indicating you cannot add past the due date
• B. The task is scheduled to run anyway
• C. The end date extends to accommodate the new task
• D. The system prompts to modify the due date

Answer: (A)

The end date on a close schedule is a cut-off that defines the latest date you can add or modify tasks. When you try to add a new task after that boundary, the system enforces the rule and returns an error to protect the integrity and auditability of the close process. It prevents retroactive changes that could affect period-end results, ensuring everything remains consistent with the defined schedule.

So, the correct outcome is that an error is returned indicating you cannot add past the due date. The system does not automatically extend the end date, nor does it schedule the task anyway or prompt you to change the due date—the constraint is actively enforced.
