Hi Jose,
Hey, thanks for your input! Yeh, I'd probably go along with you about letting it go on its merry way until a new month and then re-do the schedule, but I'm not the user that requested it.
So the different dynamic settings were useless? I just tried one ("Today") and you're right...didn't work. I seldom give up and I've gotten some strange things to work in the past...usually through 'non normal' Vantage ways. I have been playing changing dates around and at times I got it to move to the next fiscal period, but it's hit and miss and I'm not sure what I did. I'm not sure if I can stick some custom stuff in the form and have it change it or not. When the process ran, it did pick up custom code I put in (not related to the fiscal dates), so I'm going to try to look in that direction. If I do stumble on something I'll definitely let you know!
Thanks again!
Kurt

I needed the COS/WIP to run daily so i just set myself a reminder that on the last day of each month to delete the process and on the first day of the new month i set the schedule again. It only captures items from the month. Thats my best workaround solution which i currently do.

Or, maybe even a customization way to force it to check this? It just seems like it should be easy, but the way Vantage sometimes does things, I can figure out what is going on.

It has been working ok for a couple weeks. BUT, now our Fiscal Year/Period has changed on 7/28/2013. The program runs and the textboxes and settings on the LEFT side of the form look to be fine. The information on the RIGHT side textbox, LastRunInfo still has the Period Starting, Fiscal Year/Period and Ending Date unchanged from the last period and from what I am getting from the user is it is posting transactions to the last month.

I have looked in the systaskparam table and I'm not sure what, if any, this table has to do with the COS/WIP program, but some of the info is incorrect there too. On the form I have last run and ending dates both as 7/29/2013, which is ok, but the table shows 7/17 as last run and in the LastRunInfo (the big, long string)field shows the ending as 7/16/2013. Strange.
