CRM 2011 Custom Workflow - Get the current fiscal year

Question

I have a custom CRM 2011 workflow which needs to know the current fiscal year. Currently I am just passing in an integer value (2012) for the condition operator, see below:

complianceRecordCondition.AttributeName = "new_complianceStartDate";
complianceRecordCondition.Operator = ConditionOperator.InFiscalPeriod;
complianceRecordCondition.Values.Add(2012);

What I need to do is, instead of adding 2012 in the values, I need to calculate/get the current fiscal year somehow and place that in the values.

Can anyone explain how I go about doing this?

Answer 1

I havn't used the fiscal parts myself so I'm a little unfamiliar, but have you seen these other conditional operators?

public enum ConditionOperator
{        
    ...
    ThisFiscalYear = 58,        
    ThisFiscalPeriod = 59,        
    NextFiscalYear = 60,        
    NextFiscalPeriod = 61,        
    LastFiscalYear = 62,        
    LastFiscalPeriod = 63,        
    LastXFiscalYears = 64,        
    LastXFiscalPeriods = 65,        
    NextXFiscalYears = 66,        
    NextXFiscalPeriods = 67,        
    InFiscalYear = 68,        
    InFiscalPeriod = 69,        
    InFiscalPeriodAndYear = 70,        
    InOrBeforeFiscalPeriodAndYear = 71,        
    InOrAfterFiscalPeriodAndYear = 72,
    ...
}

They look closer to what you are trying to achieve, in particular ThisFiscalYear.

I would expect the filter to look a little more like this:

complianceRecordCondition.AttributeName = "intellic_complianceStartDate";   
complianceRecordCondition.Operator = ConditionOperator.ThisFiscalYear;
