My year end is April 30 and I want to make post dated cheques to pay my rent for my next fiscal year. If I write the cheques in the AP with dates from the next fiscal year does anyone know what will happen to those dates when it goes to the GL and then can I archive them and bring them back next year?

Hello Louise Thrale,

Ledger will refuse to post transactions outside the current fiscal calendar, and will place them in an error batch. Prior to running your year end, move the batch into the archive.

When you have completed the year end, retrieve the batch from the archive, and (perhaps) edit the fiscal period you wish to post the transactions to. The dates will remain unchanged unless you specifically change them when the batch is retrieved from the archive.
