You cannot apply and post an entry with an earlier posting date.

This error occurred when you try to apply payments for vendor. Reason is you try to apply payment before invoice date. For a example, you're invoice dated in 15-May-2020. However, you're try to raise a payment journal which is dated on 13-May-2020. Therefore, you have to make the payment on or after 15-May-2020.

    Hi,

    In very old version it was possible to apply the payment with a postign date before the posting of the invoice, but this has been blocked in order to prevent a data mess.
    The point was that on applying entries with currency adjustments or with payment discount/ payment tolerances and the "adjust VAT for Paym. disc." feature enabled some of the detailed customer/vendor ledger entries for the payment got the posting date of the later invoice and some got the posting date of the payment. On running reports which used the detailed entries (Balance at Date, Detailed Trial Balanceetc) you got differences when you compared the totals with the total s of the G/L Trial Balance.
    With the "adjust VAT for Paym. disc." feature enabled you also got VAT Entries with different posting dates compared to detailed customer/vendor ledger entries


    Therefore "direct application" and also the manual application (afterwards, when invoice and payment have been posted but not applied yet) check for the dates and can only be posted with a posting date at or later than the later date.

    If you want to take the check out of the code ... you can do that on an individual base ... but you can end up with the described data mess, if you use currencies or the "adjust VAT for Paym. disc." feature.
    This change (taking out the check) is not supported by Microsoft.

    Hope this answers

    Hi,

    It is a standard error. There is way to do it.

    Post the Payment without applying. Then open vendor Ledger and apply this payment to Invoice. This error will not come. In this way you can apply Payment to a later date Invoice.
