Changing the Posting Date

All OfficeMate transactions are recorded on the posting date. The Daily Transaction Audit report is the only report that displays all transactions that occurred on a specific calendar date regardless of the posting date. All other reports display transactions that occurred on the posting date. If you change the posting date to record backdated transactions, be sure to change the posting date back to today’s date after you are finished recording backdated transactions.

  • When you open OfficeMate, the posting date is the same as your computer date. If you change the posting date, it will revert back to the computer date when you close OfficeMate or log out of OfficeMate. Changing the posting date on your computer does not affect the computer date on your computer or other computers on your network.
  • The Change Posting Date feature is not available if you are using the General Ledger Interface.
  • The Change Posting Date feature is only available in OfficeMate Administration if the Allow Posting date to be changed in Administration preference is set to Yes. The feature is only available in OfficeMate if the Allow Posting date to be changed in Locations preference is set to Yes in OfficeMate Administration.
