Lock Dates - Allocate Overpayments to Bills before a Lock Date
when doing allocation between an overpayment and a bill, if the invoice is dated within a locked period you are unable to do the allocation, it would be good if you could just do the allocation without having to open the period.

100% agree. We can't be going back and changing comparatives in prior periods when the accounts have already been completed

Totally agree! Having to open periods that are locked changes the integrity of the accounts as the published numbers will change. A differetiation needs to be made between the document date, and the posting / allocation date. This needs to apply to allocating credit notes to invoices or bills and processing invoices received after a period is closed.

OMG!! HOW in goodness name is this function not available !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not all transactions happen within a neat month, and it is NON-COMPLIANT to make transaction in a closed period, when the TRANSACTION DID NOT HAPPEN .
A Credit needs to be able to be applied to a bill at ANY time after a credit / overpayment is raised.
Soooooo many times the client doe **** get confirmation form the supplier, or visa-versa - for the transaction to apply within the month.
I will NOT just change an historic account, and make the report INCORRECT just because Xero (again) does not have the correct accounting process to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I am facing same issue and would like to support Sara's idea. It is inconvenient unlocking the accounts.
Thanks,
