Issue/Symptom/Question

When we create PO change orders to a closed month, we get a warning message that the month is closed. We say yes, and get the same message a few clicks later. It is very time-consuming. Is there any way to turn off this warning?

Resolution/Fix/Answer

System Option 254 - Check Date In Closed Period can be set to NOT check if the period is closed. NOTE: Changing this setting will update any PO related transactions. See the system option settings below:

Determine whether PENTA should edit PO-related transaction dates to prevent entry into an unauthorized accounting period. If you enable this option, PENTA will edit transactions with dates that might impact previously calculated forecast or earned revenue values. 

Valid Values: 

Y - Confirm that the entered date is in an authorized accounting period.

N - Do not perform the edit. Allow any date to be entered.
