Symptom
User have performed a day closure run and set the period closure date in the future, this caused negative balance on the time account.
Is it possible to revert the period closure date to current date?
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Time Administration Work Center
- Go to Regular Tasks View
- Select "Run Day Closure for One Employee" link
- Select employee
- Set Period Closure Date to current date
-
Error "Entered date DD.MM.YYYY must be after latest day closure date".
Cause
It is not possible to revert the period end closure to current date. The idea of period closure is to prevent possible frauds in terms of time recording, so once the date is set the time booking relevant to accounting is considered complete.
However, user can book times by not referencing any project, since it does not affect accounting
Resolution
This is system standard behavior.
