This can however be overridden at a user level. Usually this means that the General Ledger Setup dates are rolled over immediately, however there may be some users (most likely in the finance team) who still require access to the previous month in order to post month end transactions. This is configured in User Setup (found in Departments/Administration/Application Setup/Users), where each user may have a date range that differs from the General Ledger Setup values.
Both of these places require a super user to manage, and if the relevant person within the organization is not around on the first day of the new month there will be errors. To address this we have included functionality in Fenwick Gold (within the Foundation granule) that adds a new field to General Ledger Setup called “Always Allow Posting Today”.
When selected, NAV will not return an error if a posting is done on the system date. This means a lot less posting errors, and a lot less phone calls on the first day of each month.
