The business case is there are a large number of Purchase Requisitions need to be approved after last month’s closing. However, their accounting date belongs to a period that is closed, causing the Purchase Requisition to not be approved and converted to Purchase Order successfully.

There are similar functions in the AP invoice and Expense report that automatically update the accounting date/posting date to the next open periods. I believe that adding this kind of function improvement to the Purchase Requisition function area would be beneficial to unblock client business.
