Check your work, this is user error.

I have the original batch and the consolidated batch on screen. The original batch shows a receipt date and posting date of march 14 and the consolidated batch entry shows a document date and posting date of march 31.

I did a test batch and the consolidated entry shows up with the document date is greyed out with only the posting date open to change. So, not user error.

It's something that is happening during the creation of the consolidated entry. I've looked at the options in the G/L Integration window located in Accounts Receivable and see nothing that sets the document date on the consolidated entry.

Are there settings for consolidation entries elsewhere?

Consolidated batches are a bad idea, none of my clients do it.  My vote is you stop.

Yeah, I inherited this, unfortunately. I don't like batch systems. I've discovered that the consolidated entry is acting correctly; but, my G/L and bank rec are not. The g/l normally shows everything posted in the month selected and the rec all cash receipts and disbursements at their subledger document date. I had to log into the system as at March 31 for these receipts to show up in the G/L! They still won't show up in my bank rec though even when logged in at March 31...

Can you turn off batch processing in Sage 300??

No, it's a batch system. But consolidated batches can be turned off.

That's better than nothing! I'll look into that. Thanks Jay!
