Appendix C - Disbursement Accounting Date Concepts (30.3)

Accounting Date

Within the Accounts Payable Module, the accounting date determines the operational accounting period to which the transaction will be posted or recognized. Users can only select dates that fall within an open period in the ledger to which users are posting.  Operational accounting periods represent one month timeframes within the fiscal year. For the State of Florida our period 1 represents the month of July, period 2 represents the month of August, etc.

The accounting date is represented by the Accounting Date field on all accounts payable transaction.
