Subcontract Management - Change Batch Post Date

Pgm: SYS_POST_DATE_CHANGE – Change Batch Post Date; standard Treeview path: Subcontract Management > Utilities > Change Batch Post Date

A generic utility is available in the Subcontract Management (SC) module, as well as other modules (e.g. AP, JC, PY, PYC, CI and PRM) that allows a new batch post date to be applied to an already posted batch. This 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.

Pressing this button will apply the 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 or AP period).

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