IJ04584: INVUSE: CAN'T COMPLETE STATUS CHANGE AFTER GETTING ERROR BMXAA1196W-THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FOR THE SPECIFIED DATE IS CLOSED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM:
  When completing a inventory usage record of the type transfer,
  that was prepared in the past (previous financial period).
  Maximo returns followin error message, with a question at the
  end: The financial period for the specified date is closed. The
  next open financial period will be used. Do you wish to
  continue? Clicking OK is the only option, but there is no
  impact/change. It returns to the status change box, after
  processing again the same error appears. Expected: Yes, No,
  Cancel options, and updated actual date after choosing YES.
  Maximo is using the STATUS DATE of the transfer to check
  financial period. This seems illogical as the status date of
  the line is not the ACTUAL transfer date. The actual transfer
  will take place after changing the status to COMPLETE. Using
  the status date of the completion of the Inventory Usage, seems
  better. Suggestion Jeroen: It looks like it selects the
  error-type of the first error message, with red icon.
  Normally a question like this should appear as a warning with a
  yellow icon and Yes, No, Cancel options. This will happen for
  all prepared TRANSFERS for Import parts that were created in
  previous months, and completed in another month. HOW TO
  REPRODUCE: - Search for prepared TRANSFER in Inventory Usage
  (with actual date in closed financial period) - Change status
  to COMPLETE - Error message - Click OK - Try again.. again..
  and again.
  
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: NO
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1) Go to Chart Of Accounts application > Financial Periods
  Make sure there is a financial period still valid between
  January 1, 2017 and January,1 2018
  
  2) Create a new financial period (if it does not exist) between
  January 2, 2018 and January 1, 2019
  
  3) Go to the Inventory Usage application and create a new usage
  Usage Type: TRANSFER
  From Storeroom: CENTRAL
  
  Usage Lines:
  Itemnum: 560-00
  Quantity: 1
  ToStoreroom: PKG
  New Physical Count Date:: 2/13/17
  Actual Date: 2/13/17
  
  Save
  
  4) Go back to Chart Of Accounts application > Financial Periods
  Take the created period that includes the date inserted in the
  fields of the invusage lines (New Physical Count Date:: 2/13/17
  and Actual Date: 2/13/17)  complete the dates in the fields
  Accounting Close Date: (1/1/18) and Actual Close Date (1/1/18)
  
  OK
  
  5) Go back to Inventory Usage appliction and pick up the usage
  created above
  Try to change the status to COM{PLETE
  
  EXPECTED RESULT: An error message will pop up on the screen:
  BMXAA7691E - The status of inventory usage 1028 cannot be
  changed to COMPLETE.
  BMXAA1196W - The financial period for the specified date is
  closed. The next open financial period will be used. Do you
  wish to continue?
  Normally a question like this should appear as a warning with a
  yellow icon and Yes, No, Cancel options
  
  And if you choose YES, Maximo allow to complete the transfer
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT: After the following error message
  pops up on the screen, you only have the option to click OK
  and cannot complete the transaction:
  
  BMXAA7691E - The status of inventory usage 1028 cannot be
  changed to COMPLETE.
  BMXAA1196W - The financial period for the specified date is
  closed. The next open financial period will be used. Do you
  wish to continue?
