Changing Invoice Post Date

Is it possible to change the invoice post date once an invoice has been released? Our AP department sent me the following question.

Accounting has been sending us invoices to change the post dates. The majority of the invoices are not paid and are released. We’re currently cancelling the invoice and then entering all the invoice back into V.11 to put the correct post date on the invoice. Is there a way to fix that without cancelling the invoice and starting all over again??????

I found KB 2141740, talking about reversing the distributions but the team has not got back with me as to that is what they need.

Do you journalize AP distributions daily? If so, the Invoice Distributions on the invoice are likely in Historical status (e.g. journalized). If they been journalized you likely can't change the post date on the Invoice Distributions. You might be able to do that with the Reverse Distribution for Update action on the Invoice Distributions though as you've noted.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend putting in a support incident with Infor. They should be able to guide you how to correct these.

I have not actually opened a support incident. I've been told in the past that support assumes we have a base knowledge of how to work the system, so they are there to help when the system is not working, not when we don't know how to work the system.

Also I believe we journalize daily.

You cannot change the post date once invoice is under Released. Like Andy said, you can reverse the distributions. When you reverse, use the date you want to post to as long as AP is open for that period.

Example below, the first line, the original post date is 10/05/23. I want to change the post date to 10/01/23, so I reverse the distribution to post date 10/01/2023. When I create a new distribution, the post date will automatically be 10/01/2023.
