Urgent - We would like to make the payment in January 2026 without opening AP January 2026 period?

Summary:

During year-end activities, the AP period close has been delayed, so although the system date is January 26, the current open AP period is still December 2025. We are receiving invoices dated in January and would like to pay them using a January payment date, but we cannot open the January 2026 AP period yet due to ongoing closing activities. At this time, the AP January 2026 period is set to "Future Enterable." Is it possible to process and pay January-dated invoices while keeping the January 2026 period in the Future Enterable state? If so, how can this be achieved?
