Currently we can close a fiscal period in the past; however, there is not a way to prevent users from posting to a future date. For instance, recently an employee posted to 12/28/18 instead of 2/28/18. Since it was greater than 60 days in the future, PC warned the user, but the user chose to post the entry anyway. There should be a way to restrict posting to a specific time frame.

CJ Forgus, we do as well. Quite a few of them. And lots of temporary offsetting entries that will need to be reversed. So ridiculous.
Yeah, it's a problem when users ignore warnings, postings should then be removable and not written in stone, I don't know who did thought such a fixed system would work well.
We've got entries that someone posted in 2014 that were dated 2020. Can't wait until I don't have to look at them anymore.
From my experience, I think "likely but not yet planned" means the solution is years away, if it's really coming at all.
As you can see, a warning was given; however, the user chose to bypass the warning. Without a true fail safe in place, a user can post to any future date. As a business we need a way to ensure that each user can only post into a specific time frame. If we can close past periods, why not restrict to posting to future periods?
This is already in the system under Administration System Settings, it's a warning about posting an x number of days in the future or in the past. You must have it set to the default 99,999...
A warning should help with this.
