Year End Account Maintenance - P&L transactions are archived, which relate to current Financial Year, but with transaction dates relating to the Previous Financial Year

Despite the warning that the Account Maintenance routine for P&L Transactions should be run immediately following a Year End routine, some customers are running this routine at a later date.


Transactions have then been entered with transaction dates relating to the previous financial year, but posted to Period 1 as the Financial Year has been closed, then the Account Maintenance routine has been run and this actually archives transactions based on Transaction Date, not the Period Number in the new Financial Year.


This has also been known to cause issues with the TB report no longer reflecting accurately, as the P&L Account balance is adjusted accordingly.


Could the program be amended to exclude archiving transactions with a posting date in the new financial year?

Many thanks in advance,

Eric
