Update 4-5-4 retail calendar leap week handling to match NRF standards

What is the challenge?

  • Aha! Roadmaps can place the leap week (the 53rd week in a 53-week year) in the wrong fiscal year for retail 4-5-4 calendars.

  • The placement does not match the NRF 4-5-4 calendar standard that retail teams plan around.

  • Approximating NRF placement today requires adjusting calendar-start and weekday-rounding settings, which is fragile and easy to get wrong.

What is the impact?

  • Reporting periods, quarters, and fiscal year labels come out incorrect on roadmap and calendar views.

  • Retail teams lose confidence in the calendar because it does not align with the industry standard they expect.

Describe your idea.

  • For the retail 4-5-4 calendar, follow NRF industry standards for leap-week placement by default.

  • Apply the 53rd week to the fiscal year NRF assigns, with no manual setting changes needed.

  • Keep quarter and fiscal year labels consistent everywhere they are derived from the retail calendar.
