Error description
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Note: In this scenario, please consider the system date 12/14/21. 1. Go to Chart of Accounts application. 2. Select the Organization in question. 3. From More Actions menu, select Validation Options. 4. In the Validation Options dialog, uncheck all the options, except "Validate Financial Periods". 5. Still in Chart of Accounts application, from More Actions menu, select Financial Periods and create 2 new Financial Periods as the following: Period: 121421 (today's date) From: 12/14/21 1:00 AM To: 12/14/21 11:00 PM Period: 121521 (tomorrow's date) From: 12/15/21 1:00 AM To: 12/15/21 11:00 PM 6. Go to Invoices application. 7. Create 3 new Invoice records against any valid Vendor with just 1 Invoice Line each, as the following: Line Type: Service Description: Testing Quantity: 1.00 Order Unit: EACH Unit Cost: 1.00 GL Debit Account: any valid GL Account 8. Take note of the Invoice numbers (in this example: 1005, 1006, 1007) and leave them in ENTERED Status. 9. In the following day, go to Chart of Accounts application, bring up the yesterday's Financial Period, in this example Period 121421, and close that. 10. Go to Invoices application. 11. Bring up to the screen the first Invoice created yesterday (in this example, Invoice 1005) and try to approve it. Result: As expected, the system correctly throws the message "BMXAA1196W - The financial period for the specified date is closed. The next open financial period will be used. Do you wish to continue?" 12. Click OK and the Invoice is approved. 13. Still in the Invoices application, go to List View tab and filter by the other 2 Invoices created yesterday. In this example, filter by 1006,1007 14. Select both records and try to approve them. RESULTS: When trying to approve Invoices in bulk, the "OK" button is missing from the dialog with the system messages "BMXAA1196W - The financial period for the specified date is closed. The next open financial period will be used. Do you wish to continue? BMXAA1196W - The financial period for the specified date is closed. The next open financial period will be used. Do you wish to continue?". EXPECTED RESULTS: The "OK" button should be available for selection. REPORTED IN VERSION: IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.1
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * MAXIMO * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * IN THE INVOICES APPLICATION, CANNOT APPROVE INVOICES IN BULK * * WITH DATE IN CLOSED FINANCIAL PERIOD. * **************************************************************** A property is introduced to resolve this issue, "mxe.app.invoice.useNextFinancialPeriodIfInactive". When "mxe.app.invoice.useNextFinancialPeriodIfInactive" is set to "0", This is default behaviour as Maximo currently works. When "mxe.app.invoice.useNextFinancialPeriodIfInactive" is set to "1", maximo will use next financial period if financial period for selected glpostdate is closed when approving invoices from list tab. This is new behaviour.
Problem conclusion
The fix for this APAR will be contained in a future release.
