Oops, I meant 2011, not 2010!

With 2011 in effect, we all know users make the msitake of entering their dates with a '2010' year and may even mistakenly type '2012' in fields by accident. By using the "FREE" Microsoft Miscellaneous Tool "DocDate Verify", the user could get a warning message right away....

When DocDate Verify is activated, and a document date is entered, a check will be performed determining whether the document date is in a valid fiscal period or if the fiscal period is closed.
  • If the date does not fall within a valid fiscal period, a message will be displayed and the user will not be allowed to continue until the date is in a valid period.
  • If the Document Date falls within a period that is closed, a message will be displayed that will allow the user to correct the date or continue on leaving the date.

This functionality is available in the following windows:

  • Payables Transaction Entry
  • Receivables Transaction Entry
  • Invoice Entry
  • Payables Manual Payment Entry
  • Sales Transaction Entry
  • Inventory Transaction Entry
  • Cash Receipts Entry
  • Purchase Order Entry
  • Receivings Transaction Entry
  • Purchasing Invoice Entry
To activate this tool, simply mark the second check box next to Doc Date Verify in the Professional Services Tools Library window after installing the appropriate Professional Tool dictionary.
