Changing Posting Dates for Unapproved Payables

Use the Change Posting Date for Unapproved Payables window to assign a new posting date to all selected unapproved payables. This can be useful if you want to track unapproved payables but still need to close the accounting period. Keep in mind that you can only change posting dates for payables that are still in an open accounting period.

To change posting dates:

  1. Display the character-based system.

  2. From the System > Custom menu, select Change Posting Date for UNAP Payables to display the Change Posting Date for Unapproved Payables screen.

  3. In the Br/Tr/All field, enter the branch, territory or All to determine the areas to change posting dates.

  4. In the Select Date field, enter a date for which you want unapproved payables to be updated with new posting dates.

The system selects only those invoices that have a posting date on or later than the date specified, up to the day before the date in the New Posting Date field, that are still in an open accounting period.

  1. In the New Posting Date field, enter the date that you want to apply to the selected unapproved payables.

  2. Use one of the following hot keys to process the change:
