Problem Generating Fiscal Calendar

When I try to Generate a Standard Fiscal Calendar for a client, I get this error if I try to generate fiscal periods for just 2023, "Start Year should be before End Year."

I found that the OOTB UI Page used to generate the fiscal calendar uses the following client script. Does this mean someone cannot generate a fiscal calendar for just 1 year? It has has to be at least 2?:

if(startYear >= endYear){
var error= "${gs.getMessage('itfm.wb.Start Year should be before End Year.')}";
jQuery( "#errorTxt" ).text(error);
jQuery( "#errorMsg" ).show();
jQuery( "#errorMsg" ).focus();
jQuery( "#errorMsg" ).attr('aria-describedby','end_year');

return false;
}

I'm unsure of the answer to your original question - but from personal experience, I would generally recommend generating multiple fiscal years at a time. The fiscal calendar structure for an organization generally doesn't change, so generating multiple years at time makes sense and saves you the trouble of remembering to generate a fiscal calendar every year. Furthermore, there is often a need for future fiscal year values, so odds are you will need some future year values as well. 

 

Hope this helps!
