Bank Reconcilation Error from closed year

[ktarpey]

Hello -

I am trying to post the bank reconciliation and getting an error message that the reconciliation date 06/30/15 is in the past, closed year.

We have closed the year and the books for June 30. Is there a way to clear this in the new year?

Thank you.

Open the year/period in the fiscal calendar, post the bank reconciliation and then close the year/period. Done.

Thank you. This will not change any GL information from last year? We have closed the books.

Why would it?

Thank you. I'm not sure that it would! I just wanted confirmation as I am hesitant to open up a past year when the books are closed! : )

You are posting a bank reconciliation - it has nothing to do with the GL.

I opened the Bank Services in period 12 of last year (June 2015) and then tried to post the reconciliation and still got this error:

Description: Invalid input. Reconciliation date 6/30/2015 is in a locked period for Bank Services in Common Services' Fiscal Calendar.

Close all the Sage 300 screens, then try again.

Thank you. Still not working. We must have it set up to not be able to post to previous years.

Is the previous year Active?
Is the period unlocked?
After checking that close Sage 300, open it and try again.

The previous year is active, just the Banking Services row is unlocked. Still doesn't work.

Now I received a message upon opening that Earlier Posting was not Completed - check with system administrator before proceeding.

Unclock everything for the period - not just bank services.

And it won't affect anything for my audited financials?

 

[ettienne]

Get over it... for crying out load. How the f... will it affect your audited financials? You are posting a bank rec.
It has taking longer to answer these questions than it would have taken you to unlock the period and post the bank rec. Get real.
