iProcurement Receipt Date after PO period closed

Hi

We are starting to use Punch out on iProcurement 11i instance. Our PO Period closes earlier than before the end of the month. FOr example, PO Period closes on 26th JAN-2018. When a User gets Receipt it will not allow them to Receipt becasue PO Period is closed. If they enter 01-FEB-2018, they get error than Receipt Date cannot be graete than system date.

Is there any option that will allow a User to Receipt PO when our PO Period closes and number of days early? The timing of when PO Periods is closed will not change

thank you
