Is there a setting in AR and AP to stop a user from posting into a fiscal year that is not open? Or a warning if a user attempts to post into a fiscal year that is not the current fiscal year?

Susan:
In the Company Profile, on the Integration tab, set "Validate closed periods" to: Disallow or Warn Only - depending what you want.

Of course, in the Ledger, go to Edit > Fiscal Calendar and you will want to Open/Close the appropriate Periods.

Is this what you are looking for?

That's it! It was set to allow, so I changed it to disallow. Thanks!

Is this setting available anywhere in Purchase Order?

Hi, Susan,

No, the specific option is not in PO. For what PO sends to AP, the option as you know is in AP's Company Profile.

As Samuel's indicated, you can close periods within GL that you no longer want postings to.

The problem is the AP clearing account. Thanks anyway for letting me know. Maybe that option could be added to a new release of PO?

Hello Susan,

This feature has been added in the PurchaseOrders 9.3B (2022.01.13) Upgrade just released:

The Ledger Interface option Validate Closed Periods has been added to give a warning or prevent posting when a Receipt or Invoice/Adjustment Date falls within a Closed Ledger fiscal period or outside every Ledger Fiscal Calendar.
