What changed

  • Event now includes a trailing var NewYearDateOverride parameter that subscribers can set
  • When a subscriber sets the override, the base code uses that date instead of the accounting period start
  • Maintains backward compatibility by keeping the existing event signature unchanged
  • Applied consistently across all localization layers (W1, FR, GB, IT, RU)
  • Fixes issue where subscribers could set NewYearDate but it was always overwritten
  • Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
