Under which conditions you can reopen a closed batch?

Even if you have a closed batch that fall in a closed inventory period, OPM allows you to reopen the batch and make corrections/adjustments.

This is an intended functionality.

For re-opening a batch the system will only check the status of Cost period not Inventory period. The code will check whether there were any transactions in a cost period that is now closed & also will check whether the batch close occurred in a period that is now closed.

If the costing period is closed, it means that both Inventory & Costing periods are closed - then you cannot reopen the batch. If only Inventory period is closed, reopen action is allowed and the new Material transactions are allowed from first next open period until current date.

Note:

Say for example, you have a batch to be re-opened but it has already been posted through Create Accounting.  If you attempt to reopen this batch, you will get an error message “Cannot reopen the batch. It has been posted to the subledger” 

 

Even though the Inventory period and costing period are still open; if the batch is posted, it cannot be re-opened.
