Error: "Rejected - Entry for future period" (posting in General Ledger)

What do I do when transactions reject for a future period in General Ledger in Sage 300 CRE?

The transactions have a future Accounting date.

You can post transactions up to six months beyond the current General Ledger period. Transactions more than six months in the future won't post in General Ledger.

Verify dates and correct any issues

1. Verify the General Ledger current period is up to date. 
2. Close the period, if necessary.
3. Go to General Ledger, Inquiry, Entries by Batch.
4. Select New and click OK.
5. Double-click the rejected future batch.
6. Verify whether the entry dates in the batch are correct or not.
   • Wrong date: Correct them in the application of origin. See the Related Solutions below.
   • Right date: Post the entries when the current period has advanced enough to fall within the six month posting range.

Workaround to remove future entries

If you've posted all batches in the new file other than the rejected future entries, you can move or rename the new file.

Use these methods with caution because they can cause reconciling issues if you remove transactions you need. Only use these methods after completing the steps above.
