Has anyone figured out a way to use eConnect or SmartConnect to import future period journal entries without the integration failing? We have no intention of posting the journal entries until it's time to post entries in any given period, but we do have batches which will contain future period revenue activity which we want to be able to import without requiring manual user intervention to manage the opening and closing of periods each time an integration is run.

As an example, we want to import GL activity to December 2030, but we do not want to have to ask accounting to open the period, then we run the integration to import the journal, then have to ask accounting to close the period, as we can have up to 60 periods to open during each month-end. These transactions are originating from a source outside of Dynamics GP. We are using Dynamics GP 18.5 with analytical dimensions.

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
