I am currently facing a challenge with my database. I have allocated users a posting period using the user setup (allow posting from 13/02/12 to 13/02/12) and then in the general ledger setup the posting period is set to 01/01/12-31/12/12. If the users post entries to a date that is not in their range it accepts it and doesnt warn about the transaction being out of the posting date range.
I need help in differentiating the two setups(general ledger setup and user setup).
If you have assigned the “Allow Posting From” field to February 13th, 2012, and the “Allow Posting To” field to February 13th, 2012 in the User Setup table for the user id that is doing the posting then it will only allow you to post something with a “Posting Date” set to February 13th, 2012. If it does, then there has been a modification to your system.
Things to check:
Your current user id. You can get this from File → Database → Information, drill down into the sessions and look for the one that has the “My Session” box checked.
The proper user id has been assigned the correct dates.
I have checked on everything you suggested and all seems to be in order, but it still bypasses the user setup dates. When you say the system has been modified , what could have been modified that could cause the problem?
