Payroll - AX 2012 R2

Hi,

Does anyone knows what problems may cause if I open a period that is on hold and post a transaction? In my case, I have a payroll run for one employee with two lines and one line have a different year, and for this it won't post. We ran a query to change to the correct year, but the payment was already paid and we cannot change the date of the payment, and we can't post because the period is on hold. Could it be possible for me to change the payment date to a open period?

Thanks,

Pablo

Hi André,

Thanks for all your help. In this case, we changed the payment date to February, so it doesn't affect a close period.

Regards,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

If the accounting manager is convenient with opening the period, you can go to GL > Setup > Ledger. From this form you can open the calendar and set the status for the specific period to be opened if it was blocked and not fully Stopped.

If it is set to stopped, you cannot change the status using the user interface.

Hi André,

Yes, I'm using the payroll module to do the payment. The user created two lines with two different pay codes, one with the date of January 2015 and the other with January 2016. We ran a script to change the year to the 2016. But it won't post, because the month of January 2016 is On Hold, we don't know if we open the period and post it, could cause any issues in the future; or run a script to change the payment date to February 2016.

Thanks,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

If you open an old period, it is possible to post the journal, but....

You create transactions in an already reported period. If it is the previous year, probably the fiscal year had been reported already.

Are you really using the payroll functionality or do you have the payroll entries in a general journal? I don't have knowledge of the payroll module, so for this part I cannot suggest how to correct it. If the entries are in a general journal, it would be possible to update the posting date (eventually with a script) .
