Because this is a old purchase order, i want to post this purchase order with posting date is on 3/29/2016. Currently, in Ledger calendar setup, the period status in March (2016) is "Open", and the period status in August (2016) is "On hold".

Why do i have a error "Fiscal period for 8/1/2016 is not open" although i post it on 3/29/2016?

Please give me a advice. Thank you so much.

HI Hiep,

Can you check the date notation? Is 8 in the date referring to a day or the month? If it is a month, this is August, the period which is not open.

Thank André Arnaud de Calavon,

This is August. My current time is 1st august, 2016. And i post this purchase order today. But i want to post it in March, 2016. May I post this in March?(the posting date is 3/29/2016). The period of March is Open.

Hello Hiep Ngyuyen,

Have you checked under GL/Setup/ledger-ledger calendar that no module access level setting causes the problem?

In addition, can you check the amounts that you check that all your amounts are matched and that no rounding difference exist that triggers this error. (Probably check the "view distributions", "subledger Journal", "distribute amount" forms that can be accessed from the financials tab of the vendor invoice form).

Best regards,

Ludwig

Dear Ludwing,

Thank for your advice, but i can't also post this purchase order. I post another purchase order in March, 2016 and it successed, but purchase order in photo attached is not.

Hello Hiep Nguyen,

Do you have the same purchase order that causes you the problem available in a demo/test environment? If so, can you open the posting period August 2016 and try to test if you can post it there? If you succeed doing it there, please check the vouchers generated. I suspect that an automatic transaction (e.g. because of rounding) causes the problem but you can identify this probably much easier in your demo system.

If you cannot do that and replicate the purchase order invoice transaction in your demo system, can you try whether changing your session date to 29 March helps overcoming the issue?

Hope this helps,

Ludwig

What Ludwig mentioned in his last reply are exactly my thoughts. We are overlooking something that will be probably clear when it is posted in a test environment with the August period open.
