How can I prevent receivables/payables from being posted to an incorrect/previous month?

In practice, it often happens that accounts receivables/payables (incoming/outgoing) are processed late or are posted to wrong or previous months. To prevent this, a monthly settlement can be performed in Scope.

Example: At the beginning of April, a freight invoice arrives for a service from a January shipment. If this invoice is posted to the month of January, this will distort the monthly result and run to the wrong month for accounting purposes. By performing monthly settlement, this invoice will not be posted to January for accounting purposes, but to the last open month (e.g. March).

Here you can see how a monthly settlement is set up and proceeded in Scope:
