Lock period: Prevent Activity slips being entered into period.
We currently use activity slips to record staff activities and client billing. We've noticed that even if we select Lock Period we are still able to enter activity slips prior to that date. Example: Lock Period - disallow entries prior to 1/7/15. However we have found that we can still enter activity slips dated 1/6/15. We have since been advised by MYOB that the lock period function does not work for activity slips or timesheets as activity slips and timesheets do not affect the general ledger. This has been an issue for us particularly if staff have not noticed that they entered the wrong date when entering activity slips. On a number of occassions they've entered an entry as say 1/5/15 instead of 1/6/15 and thinking that they haven't entered the information when they run a report,they have entered again at the correct date. End result is that the client may be charged twice, or for activities in the wrong period. It would be great if the lock period function could also be applied to Activity Slips and Timesheets.

Payroll: Warn for lock period
Suggest a flashing warning appear screen appears if a user attempts to process transactions to a date where the "period has been locked down" Last night was trying to process a payrun in MYOB essentials and it would not process the payrun. The below screen just kept processing after about 10 attempts of waiting for nothing to happen.... I started to investigate the settingsand realised the file waslocked down under the "Business Details" :smileyfrustrated: Please vote for this to be implemented it will save other users trying to work this out "Warning that period is locked notifying users"
