After you have run and checked the “Print Component Use Proof Report” (5.4.5.3) and corrected any errors, you must then Post it to update the files.

You may set an Accounting Period as Open or Closed through "General Ledger Setup" in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.3 field 9). If you try to post to a period that is Closed, an error message will be displayed and posting will stop. An example of the error message is:  "99/10 is a Closed period. Please open before using."         

When posting, the system will compare the Current Accounts Receivable Period to the current posting date.  If they are different, then a Warning Message will appear. This will prevent you from forgetting to Roll your Accounts Receivable or from posting to the wrong Accounting Period.

When posting, the cost will be updated to the current Warehouse Cost.  When updated the following message will appear on the screen if the cost was changed:  “ATTENTION:  Warehouse cost changed since some Component Use items were created. The Component Use cost was changed to match the current Warehouse Cost.”  Run the “Print Posted In Store Use Summary Report” (5.3.4) to see the current cost of these items. NOTE:  Since the General Ledger is not currently being updated by this posting, this change will only affect the Component Use item and the "Custom Inventory Sales Analysis" in Sales Management (2.1.6).
