hi Megan,
A recent update has caused this. I've raised a support request with Myob as it has to be addressed. Otherwise it makes the whole point of lock periods redundant. In many cases users do not have access to unlock the period (and for good reason).
Anyway in the mean time I just tested and can confirm that you can still email or print invoices from a locked period using the web browser version. (which proves that that this was an unexpected & in intended consequence of a recent update).
To use the web browser:
- from any desktop Command Centre at the top right is a button 'Open in Web Browser'.
- Then go to sales - invoices (which is the sales register).
- go into the invoice using the usual search criteria
- at the top right of the invoice click on the 'share' drop down arrow
- select 'email invoice', or 'download PDF' or 'Print PDF'
Hope this helps.

No you can't Gavin, the point here is the invoice trying to be printed is in a locked period, hence you can't change the 'Delivery Status' that would allow you use to that option.
Hi JPS_Lifts
You don't need to change the Delivery Status. You may need to change your Advanced Filters to set Status to All Sales and untick Unprinted... change date range etc. This is a once off thing as this method saves all your settings, including Form to use.

As another user said! this is incorrect and not an option for printing out an invoice in a locked period. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Thanks
This is the only way you can print locked invoices. Dont open the invoice and print as normal. Hit the checkbox then print
yep this way worked for me just now, so it's something.
Thank you so much for this information you have saved me a lot of angst.
