Block backdating of transactions

If you enter a transaction date that is earlier than the most recently used batch date, documents with a higher document number can have an earlier transaction date. This is not always desired or legally allowed.

To ensure that each financial document of the transaction type has a batch date equal to or later than the batch dates of documents with a lower document number, in the Transaction Types (tfgld0511m000) session, you can select the Block Backdating check box. If you select this check box, LN automatically selects the Documents in Fixed Sequence check box.

To ensure that you cannot backdate transactions for the transaction type, you must use only one transaction type series at a time for the transaction type. To achieve this, you can set the Number of Digits for Series field to zero in the Transaction Type Series (tfgld0114m000) session.

If more than one series is required for the transaction type, you must ensure that only one series is used at a time. For example, in the Transaction Type Series (tfgld0114m000) session, you can use the Blocked check box for this purpose.
