Cevap
The administrator must inform stakeholders that activating Custom Fiscal Years is an irreversible system action, and that it significantly impacts standard forecasting, opportunity reporting, and quota management by requiring manual creation of custom fiscal periods for all future years.
Enabling Custom Fiscal Years in Salesforce is a permanent and irreversible system modification. Once activated, an organization can never return to a Standard Fiscal Year setup. Furthermore, custom fiscal year structures fundamentally change how standard opportunity reports, product forecasting, and quotas behave, requiring administrators to manually define custom period boundaries for every future fiscal year.
