Edit the Posting Date of Journal Entries before Booking

Use the Project Posting submodule to change the posting date of journal entries that were posted within a given period before you book them, except for work-in-progress (WIP) and job closure entries. For example, if you created several creditor invoices within a given period with a posting date of October 1, 2018, and it took three days for those invoices to be processed and attain a status of 50 (Ready for booking), you can use this procedure to change the posting date of the invoices to October 4, 2018.

To perform this procedure, you must have access to Finance & Administration as defined in the User Access Rights submodule under Settings.

To edit the posting date of journal entries before booking:

1. On the main toolbar, click Finance & Administration .
2. In the left pane of the Finance & Administration screen, click General Ledger > Project Posting.
3. If you have more than one company in your system, use the drop-down list above the left pane to select the company that owns the journal entries whose posting dates need to be changed.
4. In the top grid, select the appropriate journal type.
5. In the Include up to this date field, enter a cut-off date.
   In the bottom grid, WorkBook displays the entries for the journal type that were posted up to the cut-off date.
6. In the bottom grid, click the Edit date icon . The icon name depends on the journal type that you selected in the top grid.
7. On the toolbar of the bottom grid, click Edit post date .
8. In the Entry Project Postings dialog box, use the From post date and To post date fields to specify the posting period that covers the entries whose posting dates you want to change.

   WorkBook displays the new posting dates in the Posting date column in the bottom grid.
