All transactions when posted into the General Ledger will be assigned a Posting Date. This appears on the Posting screen when posting down a transaction.

By default the system will use the date the transaction was posted, but this can be customised for the production under Eclipse’s System Defaults where you can choose between a few options.

 

  1. Navigate to Control Table → System Defaults → General Tab

  2. Select one of the following options under the Posting Date header and then press OK.

  • Locked: Locks the Posting Date on the Posting screen to the date of posting (today’s date).

  • Unlocked: The date can be changed by the user on the Posting screen without any restrictions.

  • Within Period: The date can be changed by the user on the Posting screen, but must be between the starting date of the current period and ending date of the current period.

    • You can find your Period End date under the General Ledger → Period Close screen.

 

  1. Once a transaction has been posted, you can see this value in the Budget Worksheet and Ledger Inquiry screen and run reports over this date.
