Reopen a Closed Period
If you reopen a closed period to process a backdated transaction, leave the period open until the inventory cost recalculation completes.
If you reopen a closed period to process a transaction, you can trigger a cost recalculation. You shouldn't close the period until the cost recalculation is complete.
Closing the period before the inventory cost recalculation completes causes errors and unpredictable results. NetSuite doesn't process a transaction with a date in a closed period. If you try to backdate a transaction, NetSuite displays a warning message.
Best Practices
-
Avoid backdating transactions.
-
Don't close an accounting period until the cost recalculation is complete. This includes the standard month-end closing.
