Derive GL Date

Hi,

We are facing a issue which is linked to Derive GL Date option, when Sales Return is entered referencing old order, it is generating Credit Memo with transaction date and GL date of order only if Accounting period is open in AR. if period is closed it will fail in interface with error 'Unable to derive GL Date' in this case we can enter GL Date and continue Auto Invoice.

Is there any way or setup which will pickup entry date of Sales return/ Material receipt to be as transaction date for Credit Memo?

Anybody can reply on this.
