How to Change the Fiscal Year on a General Billing Invoice

Description of Issue
  • Is it possible to change the Fiscal Year on a created bill?
  • Need to update the Fiscal Year on an Invoice. 
Context
  • Accounts Receivable
  • General Billing
  • Invoice Entry and Proof (gbinvent)
Cause

An Invoice was created with the incorrect Fiscal Year on it. 

Resolution

The Fiscal Year and Period cannot be changed on an Invoice itself, even if that Invoice is still in proof.

If the Invoice is still in a proof batch, it can have its Fiscal Year and Period overwritten by returning to the Batch Header and updating the GL Effective Date. This will update the GL Effective Date and the Year/Period for every Invoice in the proof batch.

If the Invoice has already been posted, this information cannot be changed. Instead, the Invoice can be Deleted or Adjusted down to zero using the Adjust Invoices program, and a new Invoice can be created that has the correct Year and Period on it.
