Error: "Rejected - Accounting date [date] is beyond next month"

How to resolve "Rejected - Accounting date [date] is beyond next month" and similar errors on your Sage 300 CRE posting journal. This applies to entries posted in Job Cost, Contracts, or Equipment.

The accounting date is more than one month in the future from the date specified in Job Cost, Contracts, or Equipment Cost settings.

In Job Cost, Contracts, and Equipment Cost, you can post to the current month, the next month, or any prior month. If you receive the message, the accounting date of your entry is more than one month beyond your current month.

If you use Period Size Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Semi-monthly in the Job Cost and/or Equipment applications you’ll need to close the period.

If you created the transaction with the wrong accounting or transaction date, correct the date in the original application for the transaction.

Close the month and post entries

1. Launch the application with the rejecting entry.
2. Go to File, Company Settings, [xx] Settings. For example, JC Settings for Job Cost.
3. Verify the current period in the application.
4. In the application, go to Tasks and select Close Month.
5. Repeat step 1 until the current month is correct.
6. Post the entries in that application by going to Tasks and Post Entries.
