# Back Posting

DonorWise allows a batch to be posted in a closed period. Because this should be a very rare occurrence, DonorWise requires the closed period to be temporarily opened. Only one batch can posted to a closed period; to post another batch in that closed period (or any other closed period), DonorWise must be closed and then re-opened.

Examples of when you would want to post a batch in a closed period:

•You begin using DonorWise after the first period of your fiscal year, but want the donations for the entire fiscal year to be entered as separate batches and receipts printed. (If you only wanted a record of the donations, these donations should be included in the Historical Batch .)

•The previous month has closed and you discover a batch that was not entered.

Note: The ability to post batches in a closed period is reserved for certain roles.
