Accounting Date more than one year in the future

Question

AP invoices were entered with an accounting date of 12/31/23 instead of 12/31/22. Posting in JC and GL are rejected.

Use AP > Tasks > Change Invoices to change the accounting date to 12/31/22 and nothing else on each invoice. When prompted for which date to use to reverse the invoice, chose the "Original Date" which will create reversing entries in General Ledger as of 12/31/23. To confirm that the 12/31/23 non-posting GL entries net to zero, use the GL report > Entries by Account and choose the NEW file. Each account listed on that report should show a net total of 0.00. At a later time, when everyone is out of the system, and you can confirm that the NEW.GLT file contains only the 12/31/23 entries, you can use Common Tasks > Tools > File Tools to change the name of the NEW.GLT file to something like "BAD_DATES_NEW.GLT" that will hide it from daily use (assuming you are not using "named" files for GLT.
