Balances Brought Forward - A/R Transactions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi everyone, 

I'm in a test company playing with year end closes. I've closed the year, and I opened back up the last period because i wanted to add an A/R transaction for December. I added the transaction and i can see it in the A/R aging, but it isn't showing up in the Financial TB. I'm sure there's some settings somewhere i'm missing. Could someone give me some pointers? 

Thanks!

    If you posted the transaction directly from its transaction entry window (instead of posting via a batch), then there is probably an unposted financial batch that just needs to be posted.

    Go to Transactions >> Financial >> Batches, and see if there are any unposted batches.

    Hi Lyn, Originally there was a file, and i went ahead and posted it. I figured that would have done the trick, but nothing's there. Is there some button i need to push to allow closed year edits? I was under the impression you just had to open the period, and post the transaction per normal.

    There are a couple of things you can check. First, go to Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Routines >> Batch Recovery.  Just check in that screen whether there are any batches listed, and if so, what the status messages say.

    To ensure that posting to history is enabled, you can go to Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Setup >> Financial >> General Ledger. There should be a checkbox there labeled "Posting to History." Make sure that box is marked, if you want to allow posting to the most recent historical year.

    It sounds like you've already confirmed that the fiscal period is open, which is under Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Setup >> Company >> Fiscal Periods.

    Take a look at these screens, and see if you get any clues as to something that may have been set up incorrectly.

    If everything seems fine, then the mystery is still "Why isn't the entry showing up in the General Ledger?"  The answer could be that the posting date was something other than what you thought, or that the entry was deleted from the GL without allowing it to post, or something else entirely.  

    Ultimately, the resolution might be to manually create & post the necessary journal entry. However, many companies do not allow posting directly to the receivables account, for good reason. Your best bet might be to have your Microsoft Partner take a look at the transaction, to see if they can determine what happened here.

    Best of luck with it, and please post back if you have more questions.

    Thanks for the help Lyn. It turns out i had turned off a setting under GL Setup - go figure!
