Reversing accrual transaction in a closed period

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 225

Hello,

we have posted a vendor invoice via the AP module back in January of 2020. When posting we used the Accruals function to distribute the cost over a 6 month period (January to June). We need to close our periods two months back due to dependencies with other systems, so currently January and February are already closed.

We now need to reverse this transaction. We try via the Vendor transactions using the Reverse transaction function. When we use this option there is an option to select the reversal posting date and we select a date in March. However, we still get an error message stating that January and February are closed. I presume these are the accrual transactions. AX is attempting to reverse them on the original date.

My questions are:

a) is there some setting or parameter we can use to get AX to reverse the accruals on a selected date?

b) has this been experienced by other users? Is there a hotfix out there for this?

c) if the only option is to develop around this - any suggestions on where to put the mod? 

Regards,

Grzegorz

    Hello Grzegorz Skrzypczyk,

    By 'Closing' do you mean you have closed these periods?

    Or if you just kept the periods on hold then you can simply change the period status to Open and then post the transactions.

    Hi Grzegorz,

    One option is opening the past periods again if this is possible.

    If your finance colleagues have already prepared and submitted their monthly financial reports and don't you allow opening the period then you have to do a manual correction posting in the current period.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
