It is a new month and I cannot post journal entries or close invoices.

Softbase only allows users to post transactions into a date range that is specified by your company. You will need to go into company setup and update the Cut-Off dates there if the date has extended beyond the allowed dates and you receive an error when trying to invoice or post journal entries.



You will also need to go into Department setup select the branch and department, and then update the Transaction date Range there as well. Once you update the date range click "Set" and that will update the date ranges for all department in that Branch. You can then select your next Branch and repeat the steps as necessary.
