Same thing here Jean - especially on AR - it's almost daily.
I ended up creating a DFU specially for the accountants to use, displaying a
few key fields and only allowing them to update the amount field on the
posting record.
That at least allowed them to correct the batches quickly without having to
wait for MIS.
Another BIG problem we found when there was a delay in correcting the
information is that it is possible to allocate cash receipts to sales
invoices that are not yet posted (ie: the batch did not balance and it has
not yet been corrected). When you try to post the batch of sales invoices,
because some of them are now partially / fully paid, the GL postings are
incorrect, and it's a nightmare to correct.
This wouldn't happen if JDE modified the programs so that the total value of
an invoice in base currency was calculated as the sum of the base currency
amounts in the invoice details, rather than converting the invoice total in
currency to base currency, which will almost always give roundings. This is
one of the first things a programmer ought to learn when dealing with
multiple currencies, however whoever modified JDE to handle multiple
currencies didn't appreciate this for some reason.
I have no idea why they won't fix this, since it does not add to the
credibility of their accounting modules.
Just my 2cents worth...
