Last updated on APRIL 07, 2025

Applies to:

JD Edwards World Accounts Receivable - Version A7.3 cume 4 and later
JD Edwards World Accounts Payable - Version A7.3 cume 4 and later
JD Edwards World General Ledger - Version A7.3 cume 4 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Occasionally, unposted batches are discovered after the Accounts Receivable (A/R), Accounts Payable (A/P), or General Accounting (G/L) periods are closed. The transactions must be posted to a closed period without affecting financial statements or reports that have been processed for it. Often you can reopen the period, void the transaction, and reenter it into the correct period; however, if the transaction is paid and you do not want to void the payment, this document provides a solution for posting to a closed period without affecting the financial statements or reports that have been processed for it.
