Topic: GL Transaction posting in a past fiscal year.

Hi All,

I need to capture a transaction that was made 3 fiscal years back. All the earlier years are open, and I have already made the year I need to post in the current financial year. My problem is the date for the transaction is earlier than the last date set for posting GL transactions. When I try to change the last date for GL transactions to accommodate the required entry, I am getting the following message: "The entered date is earlier than date already selected as closing date." Is there a way of overcoming this?

Any thoughts are highly appreciated.

Re: GL Transaction posting in a past fiscal year.

1. Edit config.php file  and replace the line:

$allow_gl_reopen = 0;

with:

$allow_gl_reopen = 1;

2. Navigate to  Access Setup => Select role then tick Reopening GL transactions checkboox. Then log out and log in again.

3. Navigate to Banking & General Ledger => Closing GL Transactions.

4. Fill End date of closing period:  to be later than your wanted transaction date.

5. Select close transactions

You are right @islamsaeid3. And don't forget to change back the config option back to 0 again.

Thank you @islamsaeid3, it worked perfectly.

..and to you @kvvaradha as well, I'd have forgotten to change back the setting.

Many thanks.
