It is still possible to make Non-General Ledger impacting transactions for Administrator Roles.

For non-Administrator Roles, it is also possible as long as:

  1. The Allow Non-G/L Changes is marked in the period; and
  2. The Allow Non-G/L Changes permission is given to the role Under permissions Tab > Setup Subtab.
