Changing the default Item Inquiry Transaction Dates to the current month rather than General Ledger Period

SUGGESTED

My users are experiencing an issue where the accounting department is still performing month end closing processes for the previous month after start of the next month so the current General Ledger period is still last month and does not match the current calendar month. This causes the default view in Item Inquiry's transactions tab to show the previous months transactions by default when it should be showing the current month. This mismatch between the GL period and the calendar month breaks the functionality of these defaults and my users have to go into the binoculars and change the date for every single item which is obviously time consuming. 

Is there any way to change the default dates to use the calendar month as selected by the "Select Accounting Date" rather than the current GL period so that this issue doesn't occur?

    Exactly! Well stated, Joseph.

    What makes this even worse is that nothing on the transactions tab indicates to the user that they are being presented only the data for the oldest open period. Only after the binoculars button is pressed does the user get to see which period/month is currently being displayed. This has mildly irritated me for years!

    I do not know of a way to set Sage 100 to default to displaying the data for the current month, but Sage should at least indicate the time period being displayed on the transactions tab without the user having to click the binoculars button.
