RE: Problem with G/L period on some invoices

Dan,

We've had some instances of blank period numbers in OEP65 / OEP70 in the
past but not recently.  I think it was something to do with consolidated
invoicing which we now avoid at all costs.

We routinely get invoices with different period numbers in OE, SL and GL.
Scenario as follows:

- 9912 invoice is "held" for some time eg due to no valid price on system
- Month end is run for period 10001 for Inventory and Sales Ledger, but
invoice is not posted as still held (print flag on OEP65 = H)
- GL is not yet closed (ie still in period 1000) as cashbook etc not
completed.

My understanding is, if the price is now entered on the system, the invoice
will be released at the next invoice run.  It will retain its SOP period
stamp (9912), will post to the first available SL period (10002) and the
first available GL period (10001).

All makes for good fun reconciling the modules!
