A standard fiscal year starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. A custom fiscal year can be set to start on any month and end on any month. In this case, Cloud Kicks wants its fiscal year to start on February 1 and end on January 31. This can be achieved by setting the fiscal year to Custom and the starting month to February.

Setting the fiscal year to Standard and the starting month to February will not work, as the standard fiscal year starts on January 1. Setting the fiscal year to Custom and the duration to 4 quarters will not work, as the duration of a fiscal year is 12 months. Setting the fiscal year to Standard and the duration to 12 months will not work, as the standard fiscal year starts on January 1.

Custom fiscal years are fiscal years that follow a custom-defined structure that differs from the Gregorian calendar. They can be used by organizations that have fiscal years that start on a different month than January or have fiscal years that are divided into custom periods such as quarters or weeks. To set up a custom fiscal year that starts on February 1 and has 12 months, an administrator needs to set the fiscal year to custom and the starting month as February in the fiscal year settings. Setting the fiscal year to standard or the duration to 4 quarters does not meet the requirement of having a custom fiscal year that starts on February 1.

To require the Amount field during the negotiation stage for sales users but allow their managers to make changes, the administrator should configure a validation rule that checks if the user profile is not a sales manager, the stage is negotiation, and the amount is blank. This will prevent sales users from saving the record without entering an amount, but allow sales managers to do so. Making the field required for all users will not meet the requirement. Creating a formula field or assigning the administrator profile to the managers will not affect field requirement.
