  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the correct posting dates or the implications of changing them, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with accounting standards and practices.
  Check Period Status: Ensure that the period in which you are trying to post the reset is open. If the original entry is in a closed period, you may need to reopen the period or make adjustments in the current period.
