AP Invoice Entry is not allowing me to use Period 13

Description of Issue

Cannot add invoice entry batch to period 13 - why?

Invoice Entry batch is reverting to period 12 after adding it as period 13

Context

Year End Close

YEC

Cause
  • Period 13 is reserved for auditing and General Ledger journals
  • Purchase Orders are being liquidated against invoices
  • Encumbrances are not allowed to be posted in period 13
Resolution

Use Period 12 or Next Fiscal Year Period 1

Additional Information

While Invoice Entry allows period 13 if no POs are being liquidated, munis support does not recommend it. Period 13 is designed for auditing and general ledger journals. This helps auditors and running reports.
