Entering dates in the Trans Date or Spread Date fields

If you are using the Packet Posting module, see the Packet Posting User's Guide for more information on posting across accounts within a packet. You can download the guide from the RevQ Client Center website.

Be aware of the following when entering dates in the Trans Date or Spread Date (when using spread codes) fields:

Check the account record to determine if you are posting to the correct field. If the account has distributed assigned amount miscellaneous fields, you may need to enter a different transaction number.
If the posted date occurs before the assignment date, an error message displays, but you do not need to change the date. For example, a client assigns an account to your agency on the morning of May 1st and receives a check for partial payment from that account in the afternoon mail on May 1st. The agency adds the new account to the system on May 2nd, but the client reports the payment they received on May 1st on May 2nd.
If the date entered is not the current date, the warning message "Transaction Date Not Equal to Current Date" displays. This may occur when Preliminary Month-End is being run, and you need to post the transaction in the prior month. If this posting results in a negative balance, the message "This Trans Will Create Negative Balance in Distributed Field and Cause Overpmt" displays. Complete the transaction and immediately post an overpayment by using transaction code 19.
