How to create Formula to get earliest open period on transaction search nonpposting transactions?

edited Mar 9, 2023 11:43PM in Ask A Guru 3 comments

We need to use CASE WHEN formula when posting period is Null (in case of unposted transactions), it will display the earliest open period,

I can use:

CASE WHEN {approvalstatus}='Pending Approval' then (to_char({today}, 'Mon YYYY')) else {postingperiod} end

However it will only display period based on today's date not necessarily the earliest open period. Is there a specific field we can use? I'm curious about your thoughts on this.

Thanks,
