When a new task's due date extends beyond the close schedule end date, which outcome is observed?

• 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)

When planning a close cycle, you work within a defined window called the close schedule, with a specific end date that marks the last day for activities in that cycle. If you create a new task and set its due date beyond that end date, the system does not automatically push the schedule window to include it. Instead, the task will execute on its due date, which lies outside the close schedule end date. In other words, the task runs outside the defined close window.

This is why you don’t get an error blocking the creation, and the end date of the schedule isn’t automatically extended. Nor does the task simply not run.
