RE: [SYSTEM21] AR Interface & period control

[Richard_Caldicott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

<P>&nbsp;But you can have more than one Fiscal Period flagged as open on 
31/GLA. &nbsp;Some companies post journals to future periods and if they use 
the G/L calendar they have to manually open the future periods for posting. 
&nbsp;This does not change the actual 'open' period in each 
application.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Richard<BR><BR><FONT SIZE=2><B>Juan Doe

FACE="Monospace,Courier">no, I don't believe it is possible to have more 
than<BR>one period active at a time, be it a Sales Ledger,<BR>Purchase Ledger 
or General Ledger period. i.e. you<BR>cannot Open another SL Period without 
first closing<BR>the current Open SL Period.<BR></FONT><BR><FONT 
FACE="Monospace,Courier">I am not sure how much or how little of System21 
you<BR>are using, but the SL Interface seems to be working<BR>correctly, for 
the way you have the system set. I<BR>mean, if you try and post an Invoice 
directly in SL<BR>from the System21 menu (1/ARP), and you have Parameter<BR>14 
set, the same happens as in the Interface. You<BR>cannot set the Period to 
anything other than the<BR>current Open Period. If the Document Date is 
outside<BR>of that period, then you get a warning message panel,<BR>but it does 
allow you to continue, but the period<BR>cannot be anything but the current 
Open one.<BR></FONT><BR><FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">We have Parameter 14 set 
off, which gives a lot more<BR>flexibility with regards to posting to future 
periods.<BR>Unfortunately, it is probably too much flexibility as<BR>we have 
had users transposing year and month and<BR>posting transaction into the wrong 
year!<BR></FONT><BR><FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">I'm not sure I can be much 
more help. My suggestion<BR>would be to let the transactions in SLPI0/SLPI1 
fail,<BR>and reflag them so that they are validated again in<BR>the next run. 
As soon as your finance people close the<BR>current period and reoopen the next 
one, they will<BR>validate and get posted.<BR>To reflag them, set the SFLGI0 
from &quot;E&quot; (Error) to &quot;W&quot;<BR>(Waiting to be 
validated).<BR></FONT><BR><BR><FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">Best
