Resolution

To resolve this problem, install the hotfix that is described in this article.

This hotfix contains the following changes:
  • The accounting date of any document such as the Travel & Expense report can be updated automatically to the next fiscal period open date.
  • For the Travel & Expense report, a new parameter, Allow date corrections for expense reports, is added.
    Note This fix will work only if this parameter is enabled.
  • A new SSRS report, "Expense report with corrected dates", is added to Microsoft Dynamics AX client under the following location:
    Travel & Expense > Reports > Transactions
    This report can display expense reports that have actual transaction dates and corrected accounting dates.
