Error creating journal transaction

[Quan Pham]

Hi,

I'm getting this error when trying to create a journal transaction.

01-2025 is closed, but we're trying to create it in period 02-2025 with a transaction date of 2025-01-07. It is possible in the UI but not via the API.

{  "message": "VismaId: 5e12fdec-614e-4a20-9044-cf93b204a928. Error creating journal transaction. Error: An error in processing of field Post period value 01-2025 General ledger error: The financial period '01-2025' is closed."
}

This is the json:

Hi! 🙂 

Can you check if posting to closed periods is enabled. 

Navigate to General ledger preferences (GL102000) → Enable "Allow posting to closed periods"

Then add Add overrideNumberSeries=true to your API request

"overrideNumberSeries": true,
...

Hi,

It is disabled because we don't want to post to closed periods. Is it possible to post to an open period but with a transaction date from a closed one?

I tried to use overrideNumberSeries=true but I receive the same error message.
