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

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

This article provides steps to resolve “Rejected - Accounting date date is beyond next month” and similar errors on the post entries journal when posting in Job Cost, Contracts, or Equipment.

Cause

The accounting date is more than one month in the future from the date specified in JC, CN, or EQ Settings.

In Job Cost and Contracts, you can post to the current month, the next month, or any month prior to the current month. If you receive the message Accounting date [date] is beyond next month during posting, 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 will need to close the period.

Resolution

Notes:
• If you created the transaction with the wrong accounting or transaction date, correct the date in the original application for the transaction. If not, proceed with the following solution.
• Job Cost, Contracts, and Equipment Cost applications only post transactions up to one month beyond the current month specified in the settings.
• To view the current month, open the application and from File, select Company Settings, [application abbreviation] Settings. For example, in Job Cost, select JC Settings.
• Use the Close Month task to advance the current month in an application. Don’t manually change the months. Doing so may cause out of balance situations.



1. In the application, from Tasks, select Close Month.
2. Repeat step 1 until the current month is correct.
3. Post the entries in that application by going to Tasks, Post Entries.
