How to uncheck 'Closed' and 'Date Locked' in Accounting Periods

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Saifudin 255

Hi,

I have imported and applied the base configuration package - 'BASICCONFIG' to the newly setup Company in NAV.

When I go to Administration\Accounting Periods, all the months in 2016 are already checked with 'Closed' and 'Date Locked'

Question :

1. How can I uncheck these boxes?

2. Does it mean I cannot do posting in 2016 and also enter the opening balances for 1.1.2016 when the above condition exist?

3. Or, do I have to import the 'BASICCONFIG' to a dummy company, delete the table(s) relating to the Accounting Periods, so that the accounting periods will not be 'checked'?

Thanks.

    1) If you have not posted any financial entries in your company, you can go to Accounting Period Table and change the Editable property to True for both these fields. Once you change the value of these fields, you need to again change Editable Property to False.

    2) Even though a fiscal year has been closed, you can still post general ledger entries to it. When you do this, the entries will be marked as posted to a closed fiscal year and the Prior-Year Entry field will be selected.

    Refer following link for more details about the same.

    3) You can skip Accounting Period Table from BASICCONFIG package and better you create the Accounting Period Manually, as per your need.

    Hope this helps.

    1. I tried to perform the steps that you mentioned - go to Accounting Period Table and change the Editable property to True for both these fields. Once you change the value of these fields, you need to again change Editable Property to False.

    Can u pls tell me more specific? I think I have done the 1st part, chg the editable prop for both fields to YES. But I don't understand the 2nd part where I need to change back the editable property to FALSE.

    2. How to skip the Accounting Period Table during importing the package?

    Thanks Vishal.

    I mean, just change the Editable Property to True. Save the Table. Modify the Data as per your need. Go again to that Table and change the Editable Property to False.

    To skip the Accounting Period Table, you just need to open the Configuration Package Card > Select that particular Table > Right click and delete line.
