Do you know what controls the expiration date when you leave this value blank? In many cases, this is controlled by the value in the Data Dictionary for element CENTCHG. Do you know what this value is in your environment? If it’s set to 10 – a common setting during install – you may have many records scheduled to expire on 12/31/10. For example, think about cross reference numbers, lot expiration dates, bill of material and routing effective through dates, pricing records, lease expiration, etc., etc. This is 2009 – hard to believe, right? If your century cutoff date is set to 10, you may be running into this problem very soon.
EnterpriseOne also uses the DCYR data dictionary element, and WorldSoftware has a #CYR element, but no worries here – The Data Dictionary application will make the same default value change to DCYR or #CYR when the default value of CENTCHG is changed by the user.
Hi All,
I am not sure if I can raise my query this way but if anyone suggest will be of great help.
Please suggest how to check the value of CENTCHG.
Thanks,
Harish
Harish – You can see the value of CENTCHG by looking at this data item in the data dictionary. Check the default value setting.
Update: For World customers, there is a program available (P4028) that will automagically update the expiration dates. Check out Doc ID 656831.1 on Metalink for the details.
