Scenario

Accounting Preference: Allow Transaction Date Outside of Posting Period = Warn or Allow

  1. Click Fulfill Button
  2. Date is 6/10/2019 (June 10, 2019)
  3. Change the PostingPeriod from Jun2019 to May2019 > Save
  4. Upon saving ItemReceipt or ItemFulfillment, a notice is thrown:
    'The transaction date is not within the date range of the selected posting period. Click Go Back, then do one of the following:

    Enter a transaction date that falls within the date range of the selected posting period.

    Choose a posting period that includes the transaction date.'

Solution

As of 2019.1, there is a new feature introduced that controls the posting of Inventory Transactions Outside the PostingPeriod.

  1. Navigate to Setup > Accounting > AccountingPreferences
  2. Check the box for Allow Inventory Transactions Dated Outside the Posting Period
  3. Save

Item Receipts and Item Fulfillments can now be saved with a Date outside the Posting Period.
