Assume today is November 15, 2015, and you are getting ready to implement new standard costs for the new year Your cost planning scenario has a…

The cost planning scenario will select a work definition that is effective on the scenario's effective date (January 1, 2016). In this case, the work definitions with effective dates of October 1, 2015, and December 1, 2015, are both valid candidates. The work definition dated January 2, 2016, is not yet effective. The application uses selection criteria to choose between the valid options. By default, it selects the work definition with the latest effective start date that is on or before the scenario effective date, which would be the December 1, 2015 version.

A. It will use the work definition with the January 2, 2016 effective date: This work definition is not effective as of the cost scenario's effective date of January 1, 2016.

C. It must always use the work definition with the October 1, 2015 effective date: The work definition with the December 1, 2015 effective date is more current and also valid.

D. You will receive an error because the application will detect that all three are plausible...: The application has a defined logic to select the most current valid work definition; it will not error out. Also, only two are plausible.
