Issue/Introduction

When entering 'Cost' information in a cost plan, or Benefit information in the Benefit plan, the toaster message shows similar to:
TSV type attribute 'cost' cannot have segment dates beyond the curve start or finish dates

APP log shows error:
Exceptioninfo: could not update resource. Resource Name: costPlanDetails. Error code validation.api.segmentDatesBeyondCurveDates. TSV Type attribute cost can not have segments beyond the curve start and finish dates.

Note for benefit plans the error will mention benefit instead of cost.

 

Resolution

The View Options Period will need to match the cost plan period type and the dates need to be within or equal to the plan dates.

Go to the View Options to  make sure the Period types are correct.
The cost plan/ benefit plan period types will need to match the period type defined on the plan and they need  to cover the plan dates.
For example, if the cost plan period type = Month, the View Options Period will also need to = Month to edit the cost.

The Periods should either be defined based on the plan dates, or can use the Plan Start and Finish dates to ensure you do not enter values outside those dates.
