you cannot create or edit transactions before the lock date you have set in Manager.
please read the guide Set lock date | Manager
What edition (Cloud, Server, Desktop) and version are you using?
What transaction are you trying to enter - show the edit screen
In My Case I have to update my inventoey item quantity , when I update it says " [No transaction dated before lock date can be created or updated]" However I set the lock date before Creation of inventory , I have been using this software since 2018 , I set the date in year 2000 , (to allow All Transcations even before 2018) , Still same issue Persist. The Issue is not with set date as I changed it 5 Years Back or 20 Years Back , I am facing same issue.
There is no date Option While you update or Create Inventory item. Only I Can Change System lock Date and I tried but failed to get rid of this message.
I am using Cloud Edition , Version 21.9.23
I am trying to add new or update inventory items.
In This Example my Lock Date is 31 Aug 2021 , and Today I want to add a New Item in my inventory, However I am unable to add new inventory item neither I am able to update my existing inventries items.
Using version 21.9.23 Desktop version
Lock date 31/08/2021
Create or update new inventory item with starting inventory is not allowed
You can not add inventory starting value as this is deemed to have been added at some time in the distance past and prior to the lock date
Not sure how you can create a new item and have a starting inventory - if it is new, then inventory is 0
as @Joe91 has explained you cannot add inventory items with a starting balance when you have a lock date set. this is because you have older transactions and Manager assumes the oldest date in your transactions as your starting date. so when you are creating a new inventory item with a starting balance, this quantity has to be updated for a date which is already locked by the user.
if you are making backlog entries, i suggest you remove the lock date and enter your data.
The lock validation is triggered by the fact that you’re trying to post a starting quantity to your inventory item.
Starting balances by definition occurs before any lock date you use, so that’s that.
The question you should ask is why a newly created inventory item has a starting quantity before lock date? That should never be the case.
Next you will have to create the item with 0 starting quantity and then search for the transaction that you’ve missed and correct it, but to be honest, no one cares about a 100 of something that has Zero value so why bother?
Alternatively you can just create a negative inventory write-off or a goods receipt dated after the lock date. I am not sure if the goods receipt would work, but it never hurts to try.
