When to adjust Accounting Period Date

I am new to M3 and have a simple question about when to change the Accounting Period Date.

Today is September 1st and I am entering in invoices from August.  Do I change the accounting period date to what the invoices reflect? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cody,

Accounting Core allows as long as the accounting period is opened to submit invoices for not only the current period but also past and previous periods.    Thus as long as the August period is opened for both AP and GL, entering invoices that need to be entered in August can be entered and posted. This way they reflect the correct period.

I have created a Case for this - as I want to make sure you have the information needed to assure these invoices are entered as needed. 

Case number :  CAS-278740-K8H7P5

Thanks,
