Preventing date errors with Doc Date Verify

Microsoft previously provided a small add-on for Dynamics GP called Doc Date Verify, but this has now been added to PSTL. Doc Date Verify prevents users from entering dates in subledgers for fiscal periods that have not been set up, or where the Fiscal Period is closed.

Without Doc Date Verify, it is possible to accidentally date a payables transaction with the year 2103 instead of 2013. Since payables document dates are often different from general ledger posting dates, the transaction could post just fine but would never be selected for payment because of the odd year. It's also hard to fix, because other parts of Dynamics GP do validate against the fiscal period and prevent users from voiding some of these incorrectly-dated transactions. Doc Date Verify rectifies this by preventing the entry of dates that don't exist in fiscal periods that have been set up.
