An attempt was made to modify a Bill/Invoice with a date that is on or before the closing date of the company.

There are two ways to resolve this issue. Use either method then try to post the invoice again.

1.Change the date of the transaction you are attempting to modify or post:

Invoice: recall the invoice on the Sales Invoicing screen in ESC. Change the Date field to be after the closing date in QuickBooks. Save the invoice.

2.Remove or reset the closing date in QuickBooks:

To do this, go to Edit → Preferences → Accounting → Company Preferences in QuickBooks and click the Set Date/Password button. Remove the date from the closing date field or change it to a date that is before the transaction.
