In BQE CORE, transactions cannot be posted to a closed accounting period unless the period is manually reopened. This safeguard protects the integrity of financial records and prevents backdated entries from affecting finalized reports.
When voiding a check, CORE generates two journal entries: one using the original check date and another reversal entry using the void date entered by the user. If the original transaction date falls in a closed period, CORE cannot create the entry, and the void action fails. To proceed, you must reopen the original period, perform the void, and then close the period again.
For example, if a check is issued on February 10, 2026, and the February accounting period is closed, attempting to void the check on June 18, 2026 will trigger an error:
This date falls in a closed Accounting Period.
CORE does not allow the void until the February period is reopened.
In contrast, for imports such as credit card transactions, CORE automatically adjusts the posting date to the next available open period. For instance, if a charge dated April 30, 2026 is imported through Cloud Feeds and April is closed while May is open, CORE changes the date to May 1, 2026 to ensure the entry is recorded successfully.
