Posting in Closed Periods - How Is This Possible?

edited Nov 26, 2019 8:57AM in Accounting / ERP 10 comments

Hello,

Here is the situation I have - I close periods regularly so nothing can be posted in error. After the period is closed, if I receive an old invoice, I will post it. I enter the old date, but use the posting period as the current month, so it doesn't impact previous periods. No error is given, or notification that in actuality I'm still posting to the previous (closed) period.

Does this mean that Netsuite ignores the period that I've selected and just uses the date I've entered? My thought process was that I wanted to capture the invoice/bill for some of our reports, but only recognize the expense/revenue in the current period.

Howdy, Stranger!
