Validation Rule - Date - Sage Line 50 v13

Dear All,

I was hoping you could help me with some way to create on Sage line 50 v13 software a rule that does not allow the user to record transactions before a certain date (+/- called a validation rule).

As in the place where I work, we have an (internal) monthly end I would like to create a rule that each time transactions are entered before the current month a pop up window will be displayed informing the user about the date that should be changed.

Are any of you aware of a way to do it?

Many thanks for your time!

Garmen

There is no way to do that, this is open item accounting.

The control you want is to note the transaction number at the point you fix your accounts, you then need to run an audit trail report for transaction after that number and with a prior period date. This doesn't stop it but it does enable you to spot it.
