If the Post button is unavailable (grayed out) in the Unposted transactions screen, check the following items:

  • Check for red validators (validation indicator). Make sure all filters are cleared, as this can hide validators that do not fit the selected filters.

  • Make sure that the transactions to be posted are balanced.

    Transactions are balanced

  • In the Status of Months section, the month to be posted should be green to indicate that the transactions in that month are balanced.

  • Check Firm > User Setup > Journal Options and make sure the box Disallow posting in the Journal screen is not marked for the specified user.
