Currently, Business Central allows posting date restrictions to be set per user via User Setup (Allow Posting From/To), but this applies globally to all document types for that user. There is no way to restrict posting by document type per user role.

Our request: Allow administrators to configure posting period restrictions at a granular level, specifically by user role AND document type. For example, an Accounts Payable clerk should be blocked from posting purchase invoices to a closed period, while still being permitted to post general journal entries for month-end duties.

This is a common real-world scenario during period close. Finance teams need AP staff to complete month-end journal entries without being able to accidentally (or intentionally) post backdated vendor invoices into a closed period.

This should be a standard configuration option within User Setup or a new dedicated Period Close Control page, without requiring custom development or third-party extensions.

Business impact: Improved internal controls, cleaner period-close processes, and reduced risk of misposted AP documents, all without restricting legitimate month-end general ledger activity.
