[sims] SIMS Promoting Y8 to Y9 for new starter

[DamienTT]

Hi all. I've managed to promote all Y7-10 up an academic year via the promotion. Our vice principal is now doing the options package and it has come to light that 2 students are not showing up in Options.............. These two are new starters in current Y8.............. I've tried changing academic year to 2015/16 going into academic structure and assigning them to Y9 from 01/09/15, but this gives me a greyed out block that always states both that the start date and end date are not eligible periods. I've amended these dates to the actual dates of both the 15/16 academic year and the working year with no luck.......... I can relax the tab and force 9y, but this then states it's overruled, the students still don't show up in options, they are allocated 9y, but it's greyed out once more.So, how can I promote or amend their year group from 09/2015?....I've attached a screen shot of the situation.Many thanks for your help, Damien

Hi all,Through trial and some error I found the answer to this, for anyone else in this situation. I had to re-apply the promotion rules ROUTINE/SCHOOL/PROMOTION.It looks like this then has to be done every time someone
