Using GL0.3A (180422)

I often retrieve subledger batches to the GL and just noticed that my fiscal period was not correct on the latest retrieve. My default setting is showing: "assign entries to Period based on date" but it seems to be automatically selecting period 2? I have transaction dates of January that are wanting to be posted to FP 2.

I looked back on my past retrievals and this seems to have started with my first retrieved batch in February. Several January transactions have been posted to fiscal period 2...

Any thoughts on why it's not selecting the fiscal period based on the transaction date?
Thanks

Hi Karin:

The choice among "Period based on date", "Specific period" and "Subledger period" is remembered so that the next Retrieval process uses the same setting used in the most recent Retrieval. It saves the setting separately for each module. For instance, Receivables could remember "Period based on date" while Payables could be "Specific period".

I've never seen the remembered choice change except by the user making a change. The explanation is almost certainly that someone made a change at the end of January, perhaps unaware of what they had clicked on.

Thanks Bruce, I think you're right because I was retrieving both an AR and an AP and the AP was set to specific period.
I've now selected period based on date and hope this solves the problem until I select "specific period" by mistake!
