Hi All, I am looking for some advises on a period close issue that we have now. Our business team locked AP for March, submitted a manual JE for approval and when approver clicks on approve button it is throwing a standard error message saying “The G/L impact of a transaction in a closed period cannot be changed

Two avenues to explore: 1. Under accounting preferences , check the setting for a transaction which is backdated. Is it set to current period or first open period? 2. Two ,edit the journal, change the period to April, change the approval status field to 'Approved' and then save. I say this knowing that the approval workflow might have already moved it to approved status while the record was not saved because of the error message.
