July 1, 2020? Really? That's like, the start of the year or something. This question is clearly trying to trick us. I'm sticking with the July 15, 2020 date - it just makes the most logical sense.

I'm going with option C, August 1, 2020. That's the date the 'Allow Posting From' field was set to in the General Ledger Setup, so the batch job should use that as the default date for the adjustment entry.

Hmm, August 8, 2020 sounds like the correct answer, since that's the date the freight charges were posted. But wait, the question says the inventory period for July 2020 was already closed, so I think the answer has to be July 15, 2020.

The batch job will automatically select the July 15, 2020 date for the value entry, since that's the date of the original purchase invoice being adjusted. This makes perfect sense to me.
