2nd Previous Period from the current period

Hi MM Gurus,
Is it possible in MM to open a 2nd previous from the current period?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Themba

hi,
> Check the OSS NOTE 487381
You can only open the last period via using the MMPI..using indicator allow back posting...
Other than this you can open pervious periods for sandbox techniques. as well ....but SAP don't recommend it...
check few posted threads on SDN...

Previous quarter from the current date using Date functions

hi all,
how can i get the value of the previous quarter and previous month using using NOW() function in the formula.

Hi Pk,
This "DSTR(DADD(NOW(),-1,'Q'),'YYYYQ')" will give you just an year 2008 (if you run this today).
But this "DSTR(DADD(NOW(),-1,'Q'),'YYYYMM)" will give you an year and month of prev quarter
200811(if you run this today)

Changing the Current Period to last month

Hello,
I am trying to change the Current period to last month so I will be able to
re-enter a material update document from 31.12.2006
Can anyone tell me where do I change the Current posting period ?

Hello Mark,
You can open / Initialize previous period with MMPI transaction, however, using this T-code please go through <b>OSS note 487381</b>, the main contents as as follow:
Before you start period closing with initialization, you must be aware of the consequences of period closing with initialization.This note describes the possible data inconsistencies that might occur if you carry out the initialization in a productive system.The resulting inconsistencies are not to be traced back to a system error but they are a result of the period closing program with initialization
The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period will be deleted.
Hope this helps.

Fetch the netprice from the validity period which always matches with the

Let me describe the same.
Suppose the PO creation date is 04.07.2007
The conditions for an item in a contract for the PO are as follows;
1. Validity from 04.07.2007 validity to 04.07.2007 Netprice = 100.00
2. Validity from 05.07.2007 validity to 31.12.9999 Netprice = 200.00
We need to always fetch the netprice from the validity period which always matches with the PO creation date. here the value 100.00 should be the correct netpr as the PO creation date matches with the first validity period.
But the program is fetching the netprice 200.000 which belongs to the second validity period. That is beacuse the select statement which fetches the data for contracts collects on the basis of EKKO-kdate and ekko-kdtab.the fields kdate and kdtab retrieves the validity period of the contract which is from 04.07.2007 to 31.072007. This data is then used to retrieve the netpr data from EKPO and it fetched 200.00 as it retrives the netprice of current data in contract validity and h not with respect to PO creation date.
This data is then used to fetch the get the netpr data from EKPO.
what we need is the netprice for that validity period of item(Conditions) that matches with the PO creation date..
Below is the code where I'm selecting the data from ekko and ekpo for the contracts data..Can you please add the code snippet to the below attachesd subroutine to get the required data from KONV and KONP so that we can retrieve the correct Netprice.

Hi,
Please get the valid condition ( based on date ) from A016 (MK & LPA). With the appropriate KNUMH read the Condition header. You can access the different condition items viz., PB00, RA00 etc., for the values from table KONP. Further if you have Value scales / Quantity scales, you can read the data from KONM, KONW.
An additional tips: in KONP, if you have a condition like RA00 - Rebate, the value will be multiplied by 10 and saven in database to accomodate the discount to the third decimal.
I could not completely understand your requirements like nature of development ( Is it a Report / SAP Script ??) you are working etc., so that I could help you precisely.
Hope this helps,

MR21 - no accounting doc. for the current period

Hi,
we are facing the following problem.
Each month, our accounting team is doing the price change through MR21. They are posting it to the last day of a previous period. Each month there are two accounting documents - one posted to the last day of the previous period and one to the first day of a new period.
As I understand this is a standard behaviour since the tick in OMRN is missing. (It was not ticked for previous few years).
However this month, there was no accounting document for the current period.
We have patched SAP_APPL in the time between these two activities.
I have checked that MM period was changed several days before they have done MR21. There were many material movements (sales) concerning the affected material masters. Materials are priced by the standard price.
I have tried to check OMRN for the affected company code and do the MR21 with no results - as it does not effect MR21 whether it is checked or not.
I havent found any note for this so far.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
If the issue occurred after upgrade, you may check for SAP notes or raise an OSS ticket to SAP.

Get the Current Period

Hi!
I need to know from SDK the current period used in the company.
I know that:
In all SAP Business One releases up to 2005 A SP1 there is a 'current' period setting that indicates the period enabled for data entry and posting.
Only one period can be set as the current period. Beginning with Release 2007 A, all periods will be enabled and the 'current' period setting will no longer be used. When the add-on attempts to read a value from the 'Company.CurrentPeriod', instead of the value period value, it will receive the numeric value '-1'.
What alternative can I use?

Hi All,
So, B1 period is determined by automatically, based on posting date. But if you use several numbering series for the same document, you can set up different series for different posting periods using period indicator.
Ex:
year - 2009 Period Indicatior - 2009
year - 2010 Period Indicatior - 2010
Numbering series:
for series in 2009 - Indicatior is set to 2009
for series in 2010 - Indicatior is set to 2010
If you open the A/R Invoice form, you will see series belongs to Period indicator 2010. if you change the posting date to 2009.12.01, you will see the series on the form belongs to Period indicator 2009.
If we change the example
Ex:
year - 2009 Period Indicatior - 2009
year - 2010 Period Indicatior - 2009
Numbering series:
for series in 2009 - Indicatior is set to 2009
for series in 2010 - Indicatior is set to 2009
IN this case on the form you can select each series (belongs to 2009 and 2010).
This means: series displayed and selected automatically based on posting date and period indicator. (by this you can set up different numbering series by periods - Period indication of posting periods cas be change until the first booking!)
SAP B1 is automatically set the numbering series of a document by posting date which is simiral to the following query (A/R Invoice object type = 13)
select T1.* from ofpr T0 inner join NNM1 T1 on T0.Indicator = T1.Indicator
where convert(datetime,getdate(),112) between T0.F_RefDate and T0.T_RefDate and T1.Locked ='N' and T1.ObjectCode = '13'

Should OKP1 being all closed and only be opened for the current period ?

Guyz,
In OB52 (Financial closing period) , only "open period" being input on it. So, basically the closing period in OB52 is by opening the period provided to be posting.
Then how about OKP1?
It's provided to lock the actual period , actual transactions, or to lock the plan period or plan transactions..but the question is:
a. Should it be all closed (ticked mark all transactions & all periods) except for the current period that is provided to be posting as period determined in OB52...For example, it is now June, then all periods & transactions other than June is being ticked mark.
OR
b. Should it be all opened except for the period that is being closed? For example, it is now June, so periods & transactions of period January to May are being ticked mark (closed).
Which of the options is the best practice?
Need your answers asap plz.... Thanking you ..

Hello,
For example in OB52, if you have opened for June, i.e.,
06 of 2009 to 06 of 2009 (1st Period)
In such case,
In OKP1, you need to only untick June for all the months and close all remaining months (Untick June and tick all other months and transactions).
Note that your planning activities for all the year must have been completed. Otherwise, you cannot enter the plan values.

Ravi

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?

Wrong period displayed for current period in HR Report Category

Dear Friends,
I have used HR report category (X_M00002) in my program that only shows two options (radiobutton) for period selection:
1. Current Period
2. Other Period
Problem is that when I select current period and press enter key it takes 01.2006 (i.e. 01.04.2006 to 30.04.2006) instead of current period 01.2010.
What could the possible error be?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit
The current period will not be set based on the current calendar month and year. The current period will be based on the current period for the payroll area which you have entered. You can check the current period of a given payroll area from the transaction PA03.
Hope this answers your question.

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
Thanks for ur answers !

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

Get three previous records of the current record

Hi,
I need to get three previous records of the current record in an Oracle Form
Sorry for the lengthy explanation:
I have a table name: ARCHIVE_DATA with column name: coll_time and its data type DATE.
SQL> SELECT COLL_TIME FROM ARCHIVE_DATA;
COLL_TIME
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
10 rows selected.
SQL> select to_char(coll_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:HH:MI:SS') from ARCHIVE_DATA;
TO_CHAR(COLL_TIME)
12-aug-2005:02:42:00
12-aug-2005:02:43:00
12-aug-2005:02:44:00
12-aug-2005:02:45:00
12-aug-2005:02:46:00
12-aug-2005:02:47:00
12-aug-2005:02:48:00
12-aug-2005:02:49:00
12-aug-2005:02:50:00
12-aug-2005:02:51:00
10 rows selected.
This is the Requirement:
In a Form's Block(BLK1), for example: the current_record is the fifth record from the top
(i.e. 12-aug-2005:02:46:00)
When the fifth record is the current_record and When I click a button, three previous records of the
current_record should be populated on the screen.
See what I did:
I created another table same as the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) and its name is: THREE_RECS.
I am inserting three records from the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) into the second table: THREE_RECS
which are less than the current record and ORDER BY DESC.
CANVAS:
Two blocks (BLK1, BLK2) based on ARCHIVE_DATA and THREE_RECS are on the same CANVAS.
But the first block (BLK1) which is based on the first table:ARCHIVE_DATA is populated with one record and the
second block (BLK2) is empty.
So when I click a particular button (ex: prev_recs), the second block(BLK2) should be populated with
three previous records of the current record( :BLK1.COLL_TIME)
(off course :BLK2 populates with one record and use arrows or scrollbar to get the other two records)
This is the code I wrote in the trigger and followed by the error:
1 BEGIN
2 DECLARE

4           SELECT MONITOR_ID,

Get three previous records of the current record in an Oracle Form

Hi,
I need to get three previous records of the current record in an Oracle Form
Sorry for the lengthy explanation:
I have a table name: ARCHIVE_DATA with column name: coll_time and its data type DATE.
SQL> SELECT COLL_TIME FROM ARCHIVE_DATA;
COLL_TIME
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
10 rows selected.
SQL> select to_char(coll_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:HH:MI:SS') from ARCHIVE_DATA;
TO_CHAR(COLL_TIME)
12-aug-2005:02:42:00
12-aug-2005:02:43:00
12-aug-2005:02:44:00
12-aug-2005:02:45:00
12-aug-2005:02:46:00
12-aug-2005:02:47:00
12-aug-2005:02:48:00
12-aug-2005:02:49:00
12-aug-2005:02:50:00
12-aug-2005:02:51:00
10 rows selected.
This is the Requirement:
In a Form's Block(BLK1), for example: the current_record is the fifth record from the top
(i.e. 12-aug-2005:02:46:00)
When the fifth record is the current_record and When I click a button, three previous records of the
current_record should be populated on the screen.
See what I did:
I created another table same as the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) and its name is: THREE_RECS.
I am inserting three records from the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) into the second table: THREE_RECS
which are less than the current record and ORDER BY DESC.
CANVAS:
Two blocks (BLK1, BLK2) based on ARCHIVE_DATA and THREE_RECS are on the same CANVAS.
But the first block (BLK1) which is based on the first table:ARCHIVE_DATA is populated with one record and the
second block (BLK2) is empty.
So when I click a particular button (ex: prev_recs), the second block(BLK2) should be populated with
three previous records of the current record( :BLK1.COLL_TIME)
(off course :BLK2 populates with one record and use arrows or scrollbar to get the other two records)
This is the code I wrote in the trigger and followed by the error:
1 BEGIN
2 DECLARE
3 cursor c1 IS
4           SELECT MONITOR_ID,
5               SAMPLE_ID,
6               COLL_TIME,
7               DEW_POINT
8          FROM ARCHIVE_DATA;
9 cursor c2(passing_date IN date) IS
10           SELECT MONITOR_ID,
11               SAMPLE_ID,
12               COLL_TIME,
13               DEW_POINT
14          FROM (SELECT MONITOR_ID,
15               SAMPLE_ID,
16               COLL_TIME,
17               DEW_POINT
18          FROM ARCHIVE_DATA
19          ORDER BY COLL_TIME desc)
20      WHERE COLL_TIME < passing_date;
21     BEGIN
22     FOR cur_rec in c1
23     LOOP
24          IF (cur_rec.COLL_TIME = to_date(:BLK.COLL_TIME,'dd-mon-yyyy:HH24:mi:ss')) then
25     FOR second_cur_rec in c2(second_cur_rec.COLL_TIME)
26          LOOP
27      IF c2%rowcount < 4 then
28               BEGIN
29               INSERT INTO THREE_RECS
30                    values(second_cur_rec.MONITOR_ID,
31                         second_cur_rec.SAMPLE_ID,
32                         second_cur_rec.COLL_TIME,
33                         second_cur_rec.DEW_POINT);
34               COMMIT;
35               END IF;
36 END LOOP;
37 END IF;
38 END LOOP;
39 END;
40 END;
This is the error I am getting:
Error 103 at line 14
Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following
a PL/SQL variable or double quoted string
an expanded name
an expanded name link
a table reference __expression
a key word
Resuming parse at line 126, column 46
Thanks in advance

Change C2 to:
cursor c2(passing_date IN date) IS
SELECT MONITOR_ID, SAMPLE_ID,
               COLL_TIME, DEW_POINT
    FROM ARCHIVE_DATA
    WHERE COLL_TIME < passing_date
    ORDER BY COLL_TIME desc;And rather than populating a table with the three records, you could just select the three records using: where COLL_TIME between Prev3_time and Prev1_time

2nd Previous Period from the current period
