For some reason, this code is not changing the posting period on expense reports. Any idea why that would be? We're trying to script changing the period on expense reports if they're entered while AP is locked but the period is still open. For some reason, the "Default Posting Period when Transaction Date in Closed Period" does not apply in this instance because the period is not fully closed. Any thoughts?

record.load({ type: 'expensereport', id: 11274100 })
     .setValue({ fieldId: 'postingperiod', value: 271 })
     .save();

Pretty sure posting period is determined based on

trandate

, change the tran date will change the posting period... hmm or I think if the period its currently in is locked you're not going to be able to change it out of a locked period

@Mike Robbins Does the role executing the script have adequate permissions?

@Clay Roper Yes. I'm currently testing this in the Administrator role.

And you're able to make this same change in the UI?

No. In the UI, the field is disabled for some reason. I don't have a script or workflow that is disabling it.

@Mike Robbins Great to hear, and I'll file that away for future reference
