Wrong period indicator linked to 2011 posting periods

Hello,
My customer has created new series for 2011 and linked them to 2011 period indicator.
The problem is that the posting period was linked to 2010 period indicator. They've already created several transactions and therefore the period indicator in the posting period window cannot be updated.
Any ideas on how to solve it (except for restoring a backup and retyping the transactions)?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Maya
Problem solved..

HI Dixit Patel      
If any transaction has been post in Data base so can't change Posting Period . Do one think Restore ur database Backup before posting period Creation and again create ur posting period correctly.
Thanks

  • Posting Period Authorization

    SAP Version: SAP B1 8.8 PL 10
    Hi All,
                On 1st of  every month we close the Previous moth Posting Period, so that No user can Add or Update any Documents which belongs to the previous month. But we had to give authorization to few managers to update.
                We tried to achieve this in this way:
                1. Previous month Posting period set to Closing Period
                2. Set Authorization to all users No Authorization for Period Status: Closing Period & Period Status: Unlocked Except Sales in Authorization window.
                3. And Set Posting Periods to NO Authorization in authorization window.
                       By Doing this should make all users who have got NO Authorization to Period Closing should not be allowed to  Update OR Add any Documents which belongs to Previous month.
                       But this is not happening. I am able to cancel the document and add the document in to previous month logging into the user who doesn't have authorizations to do so.
    Is there any other way to Achieve this.
    Cheers,
    Sree.

    Check the solution as follows:
    dministration -> System Initialization -> Posting Periods
       1. The implications of different Posting Period Status.
    When Posting Period status is set as:
    Locked
    any data entry or journal entry will be disabled for all users.
    Unlocked
    data or journal entry can be done by any user in this period provided that General Authorization does not restrict the user from certain actions.The functionality is as the following combination of fields values 'Active'=Yes, 'Locked'=No from the previous versions.
    Unlocked Except Sales
    data and journal entry can be entered within all document types appplications and tools except any Sales document under (Sales - AR). The functionality is as the following combination of fields values 'Active = No, 'Locked'= No from the previous versions. Work under this period status is allowed only for those users who have assigned 'Full Authorization' in General Authorizations form -> General group -> Period Status: Unlocked Except Sales.
    Closing Period
    data and journal entry can be performed within all document types, applications and tools. Work under this period status is allowed only for those users who have assigned 'Full Authorization' in General Authorizations form -> General group -> Period Status: Period Closing.
    NOTE: The Period Indicator set for certain Posting Period does not influence on the possibility of entering data (marketing documents and journal entries).
    NOTE: When you log to a company after its upgrade from previous versions then SAP Business One checks for "Unlocked" and "Unlocked Except Sales" periods whether their 'To Date' are older than Actual System Date. If YES those period statuses are changed to "Period Closing".
    It is also possible to switch on / off this automatic update of periodstatus and also define a delay in days. For more details please refer to the 'Automatic change of period status' section.
       1. Automatic change of period status:
    Period status of just ended posting period (based on actual system date) should be automatically changed from "Unlocked" or "Unlocked Except Sales" to "Period Closing" after the very first log into the system in a new subsequent posting period (based on actual system date) when "Automatic Change of Period Status to 'Closing Period' " checkbox is checked and value in "Date When Automatic Change Is Applied" field equels 1 (what are actually their default settings after upgrade or when new company is created). However, if authorized user would change the period status back to "Unlocked" or "Unlocked Except Sales" from "Period Closing" and the system would be started again e.g. next day or simply in a few seconds later, automatic change would not be applied any more.
    User can decide to disable function of Automatic Change of Period Status by unchecking "Automatic Change of Period Status to 'Closing Period' " checkbox.
    User can also decide to execute automatic change on the second or later day in new period or even the period after by entering a new value in "Date When Automatic Change Is Applied" field on Posting Period. When the value = 1, the change is applied on the first or later day of new period depending on the first login into the system. When the value = 2, the change is applied on the second or later day depending on the first login into the system. Default value for new company and after upgrade is 1.
       1. "Posting Date To" field is disabled.
    When you try to add a new Posting Period, SAP Business One offers the next free year which has not been defined yet. For example, when you have already defined Posting Period for 2006 year and then you want to add a new one, SAP Business One proposes you the next 2007 year (in Administration -> System Initialization -> Posting Periods -> orange arrow callingparticular posting period form -> 'Dates From... To' fields) automatically. Moreover, when you want to add a not annual period (e.g. quarter, month, etc.) then even if the "Posting Date To" field is disabled and has wrong value in process of adding, after the period is created the value of the field "Posting Date To" is recalculated and changed to correct date (usually end of the year).
       1. When any data or journal entry is being created behind some system document (exactly when a user tries to add the document), SAP Business One checks whether the entered date value in 'Posting Date' field fits any defined posting period. If NOT i.e. there is no posting period defined coveringthe entered Posting Date, the following system error message will appear as a pop-up: 'Posting Date deviates from the defined range. To complete the action, define posting period matching the entered Posting Date.'
       2. When deleting Posting Periods (by sub-periods) SAP Business One checks whether there is no data entered within the particular period, additionally SAP Business One checks if at least one very last posting sub-period remains defined in the database. If not, the deletion will not be allowed under any circumstances. As part of this restriction, the following system error message will appear for the user: 'Cannot remove the last period'.
    it is from SAP note 1050246. if not resolve, log a message to SAP support or upgrade the PL version from 10 to 13.

    Diagnosis
    Period 002 of fiscal year 2011 is not open for posting for the variant of posting period 2650.
    System Response

    To do this, specify a period interval in which the required period for the variant of posting period 2650 and account type + is contained.

    Hi,
    If you are sure Open period in MM: 01/2011 (12/2010) & 02/2011 not opened( can be cross checked in MMRV)
    As you want post in 12/2010,then use t.code: OB52 and open the 12, 2010 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save.

  • Documents posted wrong posting periods

    hi,
    we are using sap 4.7e version.our fiscal year is april to march.we posted 7 billing documents on 01.03.2007 .but 6 accounting documents posted to 13 th period.one document posted to 12 th period. we are unable to identify the problem how it happend .all posting and document dates are on 01.03.2007. could any body give solution to this probelm.

    Hi Naga,
    Normally the system always takes the posting period based on posting date.
    You can enter in the special periods only by actually selecting the posting date of last posting period and manually selecting the posting period as the special period of 13-16.
    There could be two possibilities for the issues:
    Someone must have manually changed the posting period in billing document header (field VBRK-POPER) to 13 while the posting date is 1.3.07.
    OR
    Based on certain parameters, a user exit is triggered to change the posting period to a special period 13.
    You can reach me at [email protected]

    Hi,
    First check the Current period in OMSY trx...for your Comp code..
    Then go to MMPV and enter Comp code, Period & Year
    and execute...
    Ex: if the current period in OMSY for your Comp code is 01,2008
    then you need to enter period 02, 2008 in MMPV trx...
    so, that period 01 will be closed & Period 02 will be opened automatically...
    You need to close periods one by one like this..
    until the period you want use...
    Remember you can not Roll back the closed period
    Be careful in closing the MM period in PRD client.
    Thx

  • Set Period Indicator for MVER

    Where in the IMG or std system do you set the Period Indicator for the consumption posting table MVER?
    Currently all movements are posting as Month.  I need to change this to Period.

    I believe t-codes MM02 Forecasting and MM17 would be used to change the Forecasting period indicator in table MPOP, not the Consumption Usage period indicator in table MVER.
    As soon as you perform a real time consumption movement such as peforming MB1A with movement type (GI Cost Center), the total and unplanned consumption are increamented by the transaction quantity immediately in table MVER.  The results can be seen in the Material Master MM03 view (Additional Data/Consumption).  When it updates the table is considers the period, which mine is currently M (Month).  There should be some place I can change this to P (Period).
    Thanks for your input

  • 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

    If you have several company codes and want your users only to be able to open and close periods
    (transaction OB52) belonging to their posting period variant (=company code). 
    First you configure the Posting Variant :-
    1) FI- FI Global Settings - Document - Posting Periods - Define Variants for Posting Periods 
    2) FI- FI Global Settings - Document - Posting Periods - Assign Variants to Company Code
    Second Step:-
    Goto SE11 copy the view V_T001B to ZV_T001B_000X (000X indicate the Posting Variant)
    In Change mode, tabstrips Selection Conditions Insert line 2 with
    Table     Field Name   Operator   Comparative Value    AND/OR
    T001B   BUKRS           EQ            '000X'                          AND

              The variant for posting periods is defined for every company code. The name of this variant is identical to the company code name. Every company code is allocated to this variant with the same name.

  • OB52 - open and close posting period

    Hi
    I want to know that what is the meaning of + while populating the posting period variant with data for posting periods and also what will be the effect if we donot put the same. Instead that we only put the entry for A D K M S.

    Hi Srikanth
    Thanks for the quick response.
    But does your answer mean that if we put only + and no other entries for A D K M S then all a/cs will have the same posting periods open for them.
    Also how to keep two different posting periods open for open for two different assets (A).

  • Print GL Report by Financial Posting Period in General Settings

    Hi
    With reference to Message 859185, we would like to request for improvement to have an option to select Financial Period range according to the Posting Periods define in General Settings in order to obtain a more accurate Financial result when printing General Ledger Accounting Report.
    Kedalene Chong

    Hi Raja,
    Unfortunately all the asset reports will be based on asset value date. Most of the time asset value date and dcoument dates are kept the same. Posting date could be different. So if you are comparing G/L balance to asset balance it should match because your G/L balance is based on document date.
