At times, you may experience a posting error in Sage 300 while posting a transaction to a locked period. You may also face this error if you try to enter an invoice that was previously entered. The best way to fix the posting error in such cases is to print a Posting Errors Report. This will help you check if any of the batches have not been posted due to an internal error.
You can locate the Posting Errors report where you can see the Transaction Reports for accounts receivable, accounts payable and general ledger. For general ledger, it is called the Posting Journals Report and it can be found within the G/L Reports.
