AP Voucher and Adjustment Entry-Invoice Date and Period to Post

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello - I am new to using SL.

Could anyone clarify Period To Post in relation to Invoice Date in AP? My boss insists changing the invoice date to the period of transaction so that it will be consistent with the period and avoid accrual journal entries (  Example: Invoice date is July 27, 2015 for June 2015 transactions, is entered with Invoice Date 6/30/15, Period To Post 2015-06).

However, I was advised by a former colleague that it would be ok to record Invoice Date as shown, July 27, 2015 but keep Period to Post to 2015-06 (if the period ending 6/30/15 is not yet closed).

Thank you in advance for the help.

    Hi Cocobo, the AP Invoice Date has no correlation to the Period To Post.

    The Invoice Date is used (along with the Terms ID) to compute the Due Date and to age the invoice on the AP Aging report.  The Period-to-Post is the period in which the expense will post to the G/L

    While I understand your boss's perspective, your former colleague is 100% correct.  Keep the Invoice Date as shown (7/27/15) and if you want the expense hitting June, then post it to Period 2015-06.

    And if you (and your boss) need any basic SL training, I'd be happy to help!

    THanks,

    John

    Thank you very much, John. Coming from an expert and a certified consultant this should settle the issue. I will pass on your offer to my boss.
