Open GL Periods

Does anyone know if there is a way to have more than one current GL fiscal period open at the same time? For example: we have October entries to enter in now but the Sep period will not be able to close until late October. Is there anyway to have the journal transaction go to the posted ledger for October, before close September? I know we can enter new journal transaction in previous months and they will have a posted status. But when entering new journal transactions in Oct. they have an unposted status, until the Oct period opens. How do we open the period?

Thank you

RE: Open GL Periods

You don't mention the version you are running, but, assuming you are either on SL 2015/2011, and have the GLSetup option(s) for "Allow posting to closed fiscal periods" checked, you can always just close the September period, post your October entries, then go back and enter/post September entries as they are needed.

Unless you run the Closing process for September, there is no way to post entries to future GL periods.
