RE: Can not invoice until previous month is closed-- what is the truth?
Hi Tom:
If you do not have the option to change the period to post or that the field is greyed out, the field may have been customized as a security measure to disallow users from changing the field.
That said, I am almost sure that, that decision was a "high end" decision make by those in charge. Thus my reason for asking if there is a business requirement attached to your concerns, which do not have anything to do with the functionality of the software.
As it relates to the inventory, am not sure what you mean by the inventory being periodless. Do you know if your inventory system is being reconciled at all? I have seen many occasions where clients misused and mismanaged inventory because of not having proper controls and lack of knowledge of inventory management. However, I am not saying that it is the same in your environment, but you may need to understand the business needs for that module and the top end decisions that were made in setting up the module or by extension the application.
I would start from there first and work my way down and may be you will see what really is the fundamental issue.
Cheers
Lisa
