The posting period for the document is prohibited by MIP Accounting

🔍 Issue Summary

When attempting to transfer a document from Microix to MIP Accounting, you may receive the following error message:

“The posting period for the document is prohibited by MIP Accounting.”

This error occurs if you've configuredMIP Accounting to enforces strict accounting period when the document date falls within a closed or restricted posting period.

✅ Resolution Steps

1. Check the Document Date

• Review the document date in Microix.

• Ensure the date falls within an open posting period in MIP Accounting.

2. Review MIP Posting Period Settings

To verify or adjust the posting period settings in MIP Accounting:

1. Go to Administration → System Setup → Setup Organization Preferences → Entry Dates.

2. Confirm that the period for the document date is open and not restricted for the module you are using (e.g., Accounts Payable, General Ledger).

3. Ensure that both Prohibit Before and Prohibit After dates are defined correctly to allow postings within the desired period.
   
   ⚠️ Note: Workflow Modules (Modern) requires both Prohibit Before and Prohibit After values when being used. You cannot enter only a Prohibit Before value and leave the Prohibit After field blank.

3. Adjust the Posting Period (if authorized)

If you have permission to modify accounting periods:

• Open the appropriate posting period and adjust the Prohibit Before or Prohibit After dates as needed.

⚠️ Note: Only users with administrative rights in MIP should modify posting periods.

4. Contact Your Finance or MIP Admin Team

If you do not have authorization to change posting periods:

• Contact your Finance Department or MIP System Administrator for assistance.

💡 Additional Tips

• Always ensure Microix document dates align with MIP’s active posting periods before initiating transfers.

• Period closures are often part of month-end or year-end processes, so verify timing with your accounting team if issues persist.

• If you plan to enforce posting periods, both Prohibit Before and Prohibit After values must be provided. You cannot enter only a Prohibit Before value and leave the Prohibit After field blank.
