Oracle Primavera releases new updates most months, and this paper outlines the changes made to the way the Finish Date Filter operates.
Readers may find the following Oracle documents which include the upgrade information. The P6 Professional 21.12 – 22.12 Release Feature Overview document downloaded from:
- https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E64687_01/EPPM/EPPM_CFO.html
- P6 Version 22 documentation downloaded from here: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/F51303_01/index.htm

The Admin, Admin Preferences, General tab has a new Data Filters option:
When a Finish Date filter has been created the user may select Current Date, Current Week etc.
Version 20.4 changed the way the filter operated to select the end of the time period, whereas earlier versions used the start of the time period. The Administrator may make the software compatible with earlier versions with this option.
NOTE: It would appear more logical to me to have the filter operate on the end of the selected time period and I would not switch it on unless there was a demand to be compatible with earlier versions.
