Payments Journal allows to override Beyond user's default GL Period Restrictions

Payment Journal allowed a user to post a batch beyond or prior to their default Role GL Period Restrictions

• Accounts Receivable

• AR

• Payments Journal (arrctpst)

• Role Security

In the GL Roles Security program, the Allow transactions in periods prior to the default and Allow transactions in periods beyond to the default are being ignored when posting batches in the Payment Journals program

Development is currently researching the issue. Install MUN-432585 once available

Workarounds:

• There are other methods that can be entertained, such as temporarily limiting which User Roles are allowed to Post Batches until the fix is available. Navigate to System Administration > Security > Roles > AR and unselect the Allow posting of receipt batches checkbox.

• You could temporarily remove the Payments Journal program from the menu for clerks that should normally have limited period restrictions to limit the number people posting batches until the fix is available. Navigate to System Administration > Security > Roles and click the Menu Security tab. Click Edit and remove access to the Payment Journal program (Program is found under both General Revenue and Property Revenue menu)

• You could reverse the batch if posted to an incorrect GL Year and Period. Once a batch has been posted to the GL, the Year and Period cannot be changed. If the GL Year and Period must be changed, you can use either the Payment Reversals or Payment Batch Reversals program to reverse the batch, so that the transactions can be re-entered and processed to the correct GL Year and Period. Note - you cannot reverse a Reversal; a manual journal entry may need to be entered to correct this scenario.
