Last Month Invoice Posting

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

You can post an invoice dated last month (e.g., March) in the current month (e.g., April) even if the previous period is closed. If the March period is still open, you should backdate and post it then. If March is closed, post the invoice in April but create a manual journal entry in March to accrue the expense, then reverse this entry in April when the invoice is officially recorded.

13 August 2025 If the March period is still open, backdate and post the invoice in March
If the March period is closed:
Post in April
Pass a manual journal entry in March as an accrual (to reflect the expense in March)
Reverse that journal in April when the invoice is recorded
