Open Locking Schedule Setup

To begin:

  • Go to the User Access Module.

  • Open Set Back Date Entry / Modification Locking Schedule.

  • This window displays a list of documents (e.g., Sale, Purchase, etc.) where locking rules can be applied.


Select Document for Locking

Apply Fixed Days Lock

Let’s configure a Fixed Days Lock.

  • Select the number of days to restrict (e.g., 1, 2, 3 days).

  • Click Save.

What this means:

  • You cannot modify existing entries within the locked days.

  • You cannot create new backdated entries for those days.


Implement with Modification Restriction

Now verify the impact:

  • Go to the Sale Bill Window.

  • Open a bill that falls within the locked period.

  • Try to modify and save the bill.

Result:

  • The system will restrict the modification.

  • An error message will appear indicating:

    • Entry modification is locked for this period


Implement with Backdated Entry Restriction

Now test creating a backdated entry:

  • Create a new sale bill.

  • Enter a date within the locked period.

  • Try to save the bill.

Result:

  • The system will not allow saving.

  • Backdated entries within the locked period are restricted.
