Warning: 'Date entered is outside current financial year'

Description

The message appears when you create or edit a transaction, invoice, or order:

Before the start date of your current financial year
After the end date of your current financial year

This message doesn't prevent you from continuing. However, depending on the type of change you make, a prior year adjustment can appear on your Balance sheet report.

TIP:

If required, you can prevent users from processing before a specified date.

To check your financial year start date:

Select the Settings menu, then choose Financial Year. Your current financial year start date appears

NOTE:

If your financial year has ended but you haven't run the Year End option, you can still post into the new financial year.

Cause

Resolution

To prevent this message from appearing each time you enter transactions in the next financial year, switch the setting off at any time.

Select Settings then press Company Preferences and choose the Parameters tab.
Select the Pause outside Financial Year message checkbox then press OK.

You've now paused the message for dates in your next financial year.

NOTE:

You'll still see this message when processing transactions in your previous financial year, or more than one year ahead. For example, if your current financial year is 2024, you won't see the message for 2025, but you will for 2023 and 2026.
