Process dates

Sage People enables you to set the start date of your company's financial year through a single group of policy options. The date then applies as the default for all processes enabled by that policy. Policy-level setting means you can easily configure Sage People for organizations comprising different financial entities with different financial year start dates by using separate policies for each.
