This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics AX for all regions.

Symptoms

Assume that you create an expense report in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. You have a line that has a transaction date in a closed period in the expense report. In this situation, when you try to post the expense report, you receive the following error message:

Fiscal period for [transaction date] is not open.

Cause

This problem occurs because the transaction date is used as the accounting date in the expense report.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, install the hotfix that is described in this article.This hotfix contains the following changes:

  • The accounting date of any document such as the Travel & Expense report can be updated automatically to the next fiscal period open date.

  • For the Travel & Expense report, a new parameter, Allow date corrections for expense reports, is added. Note This fix will work only if this parameter is enabled.

  • A new SSRS report, "Expense report with corrected dates", is added to Microsoft Dynamics AX client under the following location:

    Travel & Expense > Reports > TransactionsThis report can display expense reports that have actual transaction dates and corrected accounting dates.
