I was able to post purchase invoices and sales invoices outside of the date ranges I defined here. Does anyone use these with success and what version are you running?

    Hi,

    I did a quick test on v11p10 using 12/31/8 in the VENENDDAT field. It stopped me from saving the invoice dated 1/15/19. It is only pertains to invoices and credit memo so it didn't stop the SO or deliveries. I started with SO . Delivery > invoice. Did you follow the same route?

    Hi first, these parameters are defined at the user level so can you check the value of the user you used for the test? In addition, sometimes you need to log out and log in again after modifying general parameters.

    I mistook this parameter value to be one that restricts the posting (ie. the creation of the Journal Entry) by requiring Accounting Date to fall within a date range. Instead, it restricts the creation of new documents (eg Sales Invoices, Purchase Invoices) by requiring Accounting Date to fall within a date range. 

    My test was simply to click post on an existing Sales Invoice that was dated outside of the range defined by VENSTRDAT and VENENDDAT.  The record was allowed to be posted. 

    I'll set the dates here and then use SQL to go back and update the Accounting date of the various documents that are yet to be posted.

    Thanks Julien,

    I couldn't see evidence in 9.0.8 that it was defined at user level. Perhaps I'm looking in wrong place.

    After setting ACHSTRDAT and ACHENDDAT above, I got the following error when attempting to enter a purchase invoice;
