Currently the module access (controlled via general ledger > ledger calendars) only stops users from creating journals within that module. For instance but putting the supplier module access to means that no purchase ledger journals can be posted from the purchase ledger module. However these controls can easily be sidestepped. This is because you can still post journals in other modules which affect the sub module you hoped to close. For instance in our scenario above you can still post a general ledger journal and pick an offset account of supplier. Therefore you are able to post to a module that you wanted to be closed. Therefore the idea is that the module access controls should stop all postings to a sub ledger, not just from journals created in that module.

A close is a close is a close. Stop this "semi closed" which is very confusing explaining to users.

Also putting sales tax on hold doesn't prevent you from posting sales tax in - it only stops you from processing the settlement process:


Even though March is now closed, I was allowed to post a sales ledger FTI in GBSI 2 March 2023 with sales tax.


But if I try to pay/settle the VAT


Settle VAT for Mon from 01/03/2023 on 31/03/2023

The financial period is closed for module VAT on the date 31/03/2023

Posting has been cancelled.


It would be better to be able to freeze the VAT ledger so that accountants can reconcile against a fixed VAT position.

This is surely a bug in the system whereby it allows you to post to a subledger from a general journal when a sub ledger is stopped. Please can this be reviewed to maintain posting control.

If I can't post a free text invoice from the customer module it has no sense that I can do it from General ledger journals.

This is particularly an issue surrounding the cashbook. Our cashbook team tend to use general ledger journals to post to the cashbook, meaning there is no effective controls around their postings at month end.
