When things go wrong - Batches cannot be posted

Here's the scene. You're trying to post a batch of GL entries and you get the following error:

"Batches cannot be posted while the year-end close is in progress"

But, of course, the year-end closing process is not happening. What to do?

You need to change the system's mind about that closing process by running the following scripts:

First, and always, back up your system and company databases, and then:

USE DYNAMICS
GO
DELETE SY00800
DELETE SY00801

USE TEMPDB
GO
DELETE DEX_SESSION
DELETE DEX_LOCK

UPDATE:
Here's a post from David Musgrave that allows you to clear up the batch error with everyone still logged into the system:

Hope this clears it up for you.

Live the Dream!
