Why don't you guys try to correct this problem before it hits the
general ledger? There are several options in the AP Invoice entry
screen to prevent future and past dates from being posted! Don't you
print an invoice edit list before you post the batch? What about my
other suggestion about while in AP Invoice entry, go to Group, and
select View group entries? This option allows you to click on any
invoice in the group, edit the invoice before you print your edit list
and then post the batch! The edit list also gives you same information!
As a bookkeeper I would never play around with fiscal periods after I
have created them!

Michael,
I like your idea of closing off future periods until needed but how do
you do
it?
I tried closing future fiscal periods via Fiscal Period Maintenance (v
5.1)
but it said it must be done via G/L General Operations. I go to General
Ops and it won't allow me to close future periods.
Do I need to close each and every period and then go back and re-open
the current period(s)?

As a convenient alternative, you can simply add all of your 2005 GL
periods
and mark them closed. Vantage will not allow posting to a closed period
so
it can provide some level of sanity check. Of course, you will need to
remember to re-open the periods as you need them but this process can
provide a tight level of posting control with very little effort.
