You cannot reverse G/L Entry because the posting date is not within the allowed posting period.

We are trying to reverse a manual payment and we do NOT want to post back to the original period we want to post to this period because the other period is closed.  Can I change the posting date anywhere to reverse it into the current period?

Thanks in advance.

    There really isn't anyway to change the date. You might be better off to take the Reverse Transaction Entries screen and open in Excel and then do a little Excel rearranging so you can copy and paste into the a journal with the dates that you desire for the the reverse entries. This will only work if you are only reversing general ledger entries, it gets more complicated with bank, customer or vendor requirements.

    Kim,

    You are correct this is affecting the bank ledger, vendor ledger and GL of course.  This is what I was seeing I just wanted to verify that I was correct that I didn't miss a button or field somewhere.  Thank you for the confirmation!

    Unfortunately, the reverse transaction function can only use the original posting date. You will need to reverse it manually by creating the journal.

    If you are using Posted General Journal, it can help you recreate back the journal easily. Refer here for Posted General Journal. thatnavguy.com/.../
