Resolution

It is expected system behavior.

  • Benefit enrollments once already enrolled cannot be changed to a past "Effective From" date.
  • That is, once the enrollment is created,  effective date cannot be changed.
  • During the enrollment time (creation time) only, we can select a past or future "Effective From" date value instead of current date (click date) value.
  • From Manage Data, admins can change the existing enrollment's "Effective From" date value to a future date. Any deductions records if exists needs to be taken care.
