Have you ever posted a payables transaction with a document date in a future period that doesn't yet exist in Fiscal Periods setup? No doubt this has happened in almost every company that uses GP. This has been an issue in every version of GP. Why it hasn't been addressed yet is anyone's guess but there is a fix called the 'Document Date Verify Tool' and it's free from Microsoft.
In essence, the tool verifies that the document date falls within an existing period in Fiscal Periods setup. If the period doesn't exist, you can't post the transaction. This is a neat little customization that, in my humble opinion, should be incorporated out-of-the-box in GP.
Contact your GP Partner. They can get the customization for you.
Frank,
ReplyDeleteActually few days ago I got a case matched to this issue, my fast answer was that this could not be allowed by GP!!
Anyway.. I couldn't find this tool on the PartnerSource downloads, from where would this be downloaded?

Hi Mohammad. You have to go to MBS Professional Services for the tool. I thought maybe it would be on PartnerSource also but I didn't find it there either.

Do you have the link to MBS Professional Services? I generally only use Partnersource and can't find a link to the other.
