Good evening, @governorandrew. 

 

I appreciate you chiming in on this thread. Let me share some insight. 

 

On one of our investigations about this issue, was a workaround that was used to help other users with this problem.

 

Let's try adding a new effective date by adding a new rate with the rates different and then changing them back. 

 

Please let me know how this goes and if it helps. I want to make sure that you're getting taken care of today. Have a great day!

I'm having the same message here as well:  "The specified Effective Date cannot be a quarter start date in the preceding year".  Any workaround on this yet?
