    Hi RonAva, 

     

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the MYOB Community Forum. I hope you find plenty of useful information.

     

    The error message indicates that the invoice you’re trying to resend is within the lock period date. This will prevent anyone from inadvertently making an entry or changes in a period in which you don’t want new entries. To resolved this, you may follow the following steps below:

     

    • Go to the Setup menu and choose Preferences.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Untick the box Lock Periods: Disallow Entries Prior to option and choose the relevant date.
      This selection will unlock on all transactions prior to the date selected. 
    • Click OK.

     

    Please note that your user role needs to have the permission to change preferences. Do let us know if you need further help.

     

    Otherwise, if my response has answered your enquiry, please click "Accept as Solution" to assist other users find this information.

     

     

    Cheers,

I have spoken to a non-myob specialist who has looked into this issue - I also note MYOB at least sound like they are finally looking into it. Apparently it was not a deliberate change but rather a bug. Due to a backend change AR2024.6 thinks the sales invoice have changed even though it hasn't. Same issue affects invoices created after the Lock Period, though MYOB saves these without complaining. For those who can't wait for MYOB to release a patch, get in touch with MYOX Services  who should be able to provide an interim solution.

Gavin
