Accounts Payable - Change Batch Post Date

Pgm: SYS_POST_DATE_CHANGE – Change Batch Post Date; standard Treeview path: Accounts Payable > Utilities > Change Batch Post Date

This utility is available in AP, AR, JB, JC, SC, PY, PYC, CI, CM, and PRM to allow a new batch post date to be applied to a previously posted batch. This process will reverse the original posting by creating a negating transaction in all affected sub-ledgers and creating a new transaction as of the new posting date. The new batch will use the original posting batch number. Where multiple post dates within a batch are affected, the new batch will have one post date only. In Job Costing, there will be no recalculation of the projections. This screen uses a privilege which is specific for each application.

[Update Post Date] – Button

Press the [Update Post Date] button to apply a new post date to the batch. The original transaction will be marked with the change date (system date) as will the reversing entry. The new transaction will show the post date with the new post date and the change date as null leaving the transaction available for the post date to be changed again, if required. General rules will be followed, i.e. not posting to a closed GL, JC, or equipment period.

NOTE: Updating the batch post date also updates the post date of the records within the batch.
