Cannot post to a closed period when no periods are marked as closed

We have imported via IM all their past ledger entries from the previous accounting system(Timberline). Each year is in a separate batch. Whenever we try to post any of these GL batches we get the message "sorry, cannot post to a close period". None of the years are marked as historical nor are any of the periods marked as closed. I even tried deleting the Sy40100 and SY40101 tables and running check links and re-entering the fiscal years. Are there other tables that may be involved here?

Judith, that you for your reply. In this case I discovered they had MEM from Binary Stream. Once I disabled that I was able to post.

RE: Cannot post to a closed period when no periods are marked as closed

Hi Richard,

There are two situations that I have experienced that may provide you with a solution.

1. In some cases, when using IM, I needed to have an existing year that was closed so that when the batches were imported, GP could determine what was open and closed.

2. In one unusual case, the issue was a conflict between the version of Windows Server and SQL that affected the dates in GP. The fix was to get a hot fix for the Windows version, and then re-index all the SQL tables in Finance. This was a long process.

I wish you luck with getting this resolved.

Cheers,

Judith
