Post Date

The Post Date is the date to which you desire to have a financial document posted. This date reflects the date to which various accounts are updated and for which the business transaction will appear in various financial reports.

The Post Date works in conjunction with the Fiscal Period.  Upon saving a financial document, the system will validate that the provided Post Date falls within the entered Fiscal Period.

The Post Date entered must fall within a Fiscal Period that is open for transaction entry (unless the current user has the Administrator role, in which case they can post to closed periods and/or closed fiscal years).
