Hey everyone. I noticed something strange with how the system handles the Unbilled Receivable Reclassification journal entry and want to see if anyone has experienced the same thing, if there's an Accounting Preference that needs to be set, or if this is a potential defect. A few periods back, we didn't run the Unbilled Receivables reclass adjustment before closing the period. Because of this, transactions that were included in the Unbilled Receivables adjustment from previous periods (but were billed in the period that was skipped) were not reclassed/taken out of Unbilled Receivables. The issue is that according to the notice that popped up the next period when running reclassification entries, it appears the reclass should have happened the next open period the reclass was run: "_Warning: You have selected a closed period that has one or more transactions that have not been reclassified. If you proceed, the system will post those lines in the next open period. If this is not acceptable, change the Posting Period to an open period or open the applicable periods."_ However, this did not occur. The transactions billed in the period the adjustment was skipped are still carrying forward in the Unbilled Receivables account each new period. It seems the only solution to fix this is to re-open the period that was skipped and run the reclass (I tested in sandbox and this did the trick). Is this normal system behavior? Or is there a specific preference or setting that needs to be set / is this a defect? According to the notice that states "the system will post these lines in the next open period," it seems this is a defect. Thanks in advance! Apologies for the novel.
