I would tend to avoid the use of "Active" in a retention schedule and instead use triggers such as "superseded". Using "active" in an ERMS is problematic whereas trigger events (superseded, terminated, cancelled, project end, etc) can be used as metadata associated with the trigger event date to launch disposition. Spent a lot of time with customers trying to define "active" and when it ended.
