This capability helps you maintain accurate posting restrictions because posting windows adjust automatically based on today’s date. Automatic adjustments reduce maintenance effort and help prevent posting errors caused by outdated restriction settings.
Feature details
You can now use date formulas to control the range of allowed posting dates in General Ledger Setup, User Setup, and General Journal Templates. Instead of entering fixed dates that you must update manually every period, you enter a date formula and Business Central calculates the allowed posting window based on today’s date.

- General Journal Templates
