block users from entering A/P invoices 2

[johnhugh]

Hello,

Accpac 5.5
One day per month we run a pay run for all our vendors.
For this we need to print out numerous reports.
Is there a way of preventing users from entering new invoices while we print these reports?
If new invoices are being added between the first and the last report we run, they would obviously be inconsistent.
Since invoices get entered in different geographic locations it is also not as simple as telling everyone not to enter invoices.

Yes, it is that simple. After all, it's only one day a month.

 

[johnhugh]

Don't you think that if it was that simple I would not post the question?
Unfortunately it's not just always black and white.

It is that simple, get over it. Let all users know that on day x they must not post any invoices.

 

[Jay Converse]

OK, then on that day, rename AccpacAP2000.ocx and AccpacAP2100.OCX, and rename them back when you're done.

Or use UI profiles and remove the Save button from the entry screens.

 

[ettienne]

DjangMan, that is brilliant.

 

[ettienne]

Ah but it there is a flaw, if you move off the entry you are prompted "Do you want to Add/Save then entry?".

Tell them but then take away the group permissions to post AP invoices until you are done printing.

 

[DjangMan]

Dang. ramram1's suggestion gets my vote, then.

 

[DjangMan]

Except to also remove Batch Entry....

 

[DjangMan]

And a star for ettienne for testing.

So it is possible.
Thank you for your suggestions.
