I tried to post in General Ledger and received the message "Warning! You are posting to a future GL period".

The accounting date entered is after the current period in General Ledger.
Resolution

To correct the current period in General Ledger:
- In General Ledger, verify the current Period End Date. See How can I determine what the current period is in General Ledger?
