FI Close/Open Period: S_ALR_87003642

Hi,
Users are doing the UAT for open/close posting period in FI but the system is 'Client xxx has status 'not modifiable' ' and client role is Training and no changes allowd in SCC4 , kindly let me know what should be status in SCC4 so that system does not prompt for a transport request and at the same carry out the changes to open/close posting period.
Thanks
Suresh

Hi,
The opening/closing of posting periods is a strictly authorisation issue to be handled by the system administrator or
a super user identified by the Client. This is not a transaction where all the users need to be trained. The
T.Code ob52 or S_ALR_87003642 can be authorised to the specific user only on security grounds.

Open and close posting period authorization control TCODE: S_ALR_87003642

HI All,
Is there any chance to control the user to open and close another company code posting period variant in TCODE: S_ALR_87003642.
In our system we are using the same client for different countries. So user can able to change the other country company code posting periods.
We would like to control either on the country (or) organizational unit(company code) (or) posting period variant so that user can only open/close their country / company code posting periods.
Our present authorization role for open and close posting period contain the auth.Obj. : S_TABU_DIS.
Please share your knowledge if you come across this problem..
Thanks in advance..

Hey Sandhya,
Congratz, this can be done using linbe item authorization with the object S_TABU_LIN.
Field ORG_CRIT - Value 02
Field ORG_FIeld1 - Value ZT001B
We have successfully done it in our client.
You need to contact your BASIS consultant for this.
Thanks,

Restrict Open / Close Posting Periods for Users (OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 )

Hello everybody.
I'd like to know if there is a way to restrict that some users open posting periods in OB52 or S_ALR_87003642 and some other different users close posting periods.
Hoping you could help it, as our organization had that policy from our previous system,
Best regards,
Elvis E. Henriquez A.

Hi
Sorry, but I do not think that's possible in SAP Standard.
OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 are build around a maintenance view for table T001B. This mean that the access primarily are controlled by the S_TABU_DIS (and S_TABU_LIN) object, and with these object's you can control access to maintain / display only, you can not control the values of the input data.
I think that you will need to create your own application and authorization object in order to achieve your requirement.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

Two intervals in Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

What is the purpose of the two intervals (period 1 and period 2) in Open and Close Posting Periods (transaction OB52)?

Hi,
Financial statements cannot be prepared on the last day of the accounting period... to find out the correct profit and to determine the correct financial positing... sometimes you may require to make some adjustment to accounting records after the closing of the accounting year... like adjustments for expenses payable, income receivable, writting off bad debts ...etc.
For posting those transactions....period 2 is maintained ..which are also called as special periods... to make the postings in these periods ...special authorisation is required.....
Period 1 is for regular postings ...

Open and Close Posting Periods - 0B52 (FICO)

Dear Friend,
It will be much appreciated if you can help me with the below question.
What are the years to be mentioned in the year columns (_Underlined below_) in the Open and Close Posting Period (0B52) for the Fiscal Year 2011- 2012.
i.e., From Period 1 (1), Year (____), To Period (12), Year (____), From Period 2 (13), Year (_____), To Period (16), Year (____).
What is the significance of these years.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran RD.
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi:
The column on the right From to TO is for special period opening and closing and columns on the left are for normal period opening and closing. If your fiscal year starts from January then for keeping open October period only and closing other , you will have to maintain all 10 in from and to along with year 2011 against account type A,S,K,D,M... I hope it will help you.

Open and close posting periods on test system

Hello together,
to open and close posting periods is only allowed on the develepment und the production client, but not on the test client.
It is an customizing object, but the flag "current settings" is set, so you also can change the settings on the production system.
In the test system, it only can be changed by opening the system for customizing using SCC4 und change to "Changes without automatic recording".
Is there a way to allow open and close posting periods on the test system without opening the client for customizing?
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Please, refer to the note 356483. Proceed as following:
Call transaction SE54
Enter the Customizing object (view or table)
Select "Generated objects"
Choose "Create/change"
Select "no, or user, recording routine" in the bottom part of the screen
Save the change
The view in your case is V_T001B.

OB52 : open and close FI period by sales office

Dear experts,
I have a client who wants to open and close FI period by sales office.
After some researches, I find that itu2019s only possible to create the variants by FI company.
But what kind of solution I could suggest to the client ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards.
Nathalie

hi
in ob52, you can define periods by account type i.e. A,K,D,M,S.
in your case if your sales office shall cater to Customers, you can specify those particular Account codes.
here i assume that a sales office shall cater to only certain group of customer accounts.
thanks

How to open and close posting period for both material , n invoicing

HI
how to open and close posting period for both material , n invoicing , AM NEW TO SD , SO ALL DOUBTS I DO POST IN HERE PLEASE DONT MIND

Hi Sunaina
Period Open T.code: MMP1
Period Close T-Code: MMPV
Automate the opening of MM periods
How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods (transaction MMPV - program RMMMPERI) with
SM36?
RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working
day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
Another possibility:
Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.
Reward if useful to u

Question about FMIR - open close fm periods

A simple question:
In the fmir transaction (to open and close fm posting periods), if the "From" column for a particular year is blank (not zero, but BLANK), and the "To" column has 12, then will the whole year be open? Or does the "From" column have to have a 1 or 0?
Please respond.
Thanks.
A

Hi,
As you told, when FROM is blank it means -- "First Posting Period Allowed (in Interval 1)" , check F1 Help, so real open period is 1 to 12 .
I hope this clarification help to you understanding,
