We have a vendor bill in closed period, which as ‘Allow non-GL transactions’ checked. When I go in and take off the payment hold on a vendor bill, it throws the error below. The G/L impact of a transaction in a closed period cannot be changed. The accounts getting impacted are active and nothing else has changed recently. Any idea what might be going wrong here? Can I use script to override this and take the bill off the hold? Thanks

Can you quickly re-open that period, put the vendor bill off payment hold, and re-close the period ?

Thanks Mika for the reply, finance has said no to do this, I also asked them to delete the bill and redo it in this period but that was also not approved. Is there a way to somehow update the same bill?

Are you in the admin role? Then yeah as far as I'm aware that's the only solution. If someone else reading this knows otherwise then let us know 🙂

SA41505 says that you could as long as the Allow Non-GL Changes is checked which is inconsistent to what you just said. That's odd.

yes, I am having admin role but it is still now allowing despite having allow non GL changes checked for the period, I have not idea what to do next

I wonder if you could do a CSV import on that vendor bill and uncheck "Run server suitescript and trigger workflows" to bypass any scripts/wf that could be recalculating values behind the scene on save? Just a thought.
