AFAB valid posting periods

Hi there,
We're having issues when posting depreciation into Period 15 for 2009, and I was wondering if there is any way to check that our system is set up to accept posting from special periods (14, 15, 16). We have managed to post into periods 1 and 2 for 2010, but are looking at having to restart the posting for P15 2009. I don't want to action this until I'm sure that P15 has been set up as a valid period in the config.
Please help!

Hi,
Check that the Fiscal year variant assigned to the company code has special periods.
Then check in SPRO ...... Asset Accounting > Valuation > Fiscal year, if a different Variant has been assigned to the company code/ Depreciation area. If yes then check that it also has special periods.
Kind regards

AFAB dynamic variant creation for Posting period.

HI,
Business Requirement :
Business want to run AFAB transaction code every month automatically with schedule job.
system should pick present month period in posting period field.
i checked in variant creation against posting period there is no dynamic " D " in selection variable column.
how can i fix this.

Hi Jani,
Check with abaper if TVARV table can Help you in this case, or create a z program from AFAB. And add date field to it, and schedule job based on that,
I think TVARV table will be a better approach.
Another point to consider here would be that dep should be run once business is ready to do so, and has its own hick ups in business if corrections are required to be made after executing AFAB by job

Posting period 002 2011 is not open (MRKO)

Dear experts,
I process Vendor consignment:
1. Goods receipt - 501K
2. Transfer posting - 411K
3. MRKO
On MRKO, I choose Document date and Posting date is: 17.12.2010
Open period in MM: 01/2011 (12/2010)
Now is 02/2011 but I want to post in 17.12.2010
I get this error:
Posting period 002 2011 is not open
Message no. F5201
Diagnosis
Period 002 of fiscal year 2011 is not open for posting for the variant of posting period 2650.
System Response
Processing cannot be continued.
Procedure
The error can have several causes. In order to eliminate the error, proceed as follows:
1. Check whether the posting date was entered correctly. The system determines the posting period by means of the date.
2. Check whether the required posting period is open for posting for the variant of posting period 2650 and account type +. Make sure that the period is open for posting.
To do this, specify a period interval in which the required period for the variant of posting period 2650 and account type + is contained.
You make these settings in Customizing of Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Fiscal Year and Posting Periods - > Posting Periods -> Open and Close Posting Periods.
Plz help!

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.

Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a "per day" basis?

Hi SAP gurus,
Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a per day basis?
It is not possible in OB52 since it only has control per period and not per day.
Will assign points for suggestions. =) Thanks!

Hii
In standard SAP there is not such functionality where u can do these kind of configuration...it is at least for a month that is through OB52.
If u still wants this functionality it is through the validation.
u need to create the validation for that company code and thn u can use this functionality....
hope it helps u

PCA Manual Posting - Open/close posting periods

All,
Is there a way you can open or close PCA posting periods? The FI posting period control does not control the PCA manual posting. We need however to do this. Is there a way to do it. I know I can create a validation. But is there any other way?
Regards,

Hello,
here is the one and only correct answer for your question:
Unfortunately, there is no possibility to lock periods / posting
transactions in PCA (including distributions).
There are only two possibilities to prevent postings to profit centers:
1. is to completely lock them in the master data via transaction KE52 (tab 'Indicators' -> activate 'Lock indicator'. Please read also the F1-help here for the field 'Lock indicator')
2. to lock one complete fiscal year in the entire Profit-Center
Accounting via transaction 1KEF.
One important reason is that PCA receives its postings from preliminary applications like MM, CO, FI. Therefore, postings can only be locked in those applications (like in FI via TN OB52 or in CO via TN OKP1 or FI-SL via GCP1), but not directly in PCA.
Excpetions from that are described in the SAP notes 436384 and´836218 for manual postings made with transactions 1KEL and 9KE0. With the coding corrections of the both notes a period lock is possible for these two transactions.
It is not planned to have a general functionality of period locks in Profitcenter Accounting. PCA should be always open for postings. It is designed to be the receiving application of data delivered by the preliminary applications. Therefore period locks must be handled / maintained also in those applications.
Best regards,
Andreas

Posting Period Error

hi guys
I created PO and Migo and after that when i am raising MIRO with Credit Memo. Following Error occurs
Error Message :
Allowed posting periods: 06 2008 / 05 2008 / 12 2007
Message no. M8022
Diagnosis
The posting date is not within one of the allowed posting periods.
This can be due to one of two reasons:
The correct current period has not been set in the system.
For the system, the first of the specified periods is the current period. At the beginning of a new period, your system administrator must change the current period in the material master record using the function "Close period". This has not yet been done.
You have entered the wrong date in the field "Posting date".
Procedure
Check the posting date and correct it if necessary. If your entry is correct, inform your system administrator that the "period closing" procedure has not yet been implemented
Even When i closing Periods its not allowing to close the periods.
Kindly suggest me the solution.

Hi,
FI period not open now.
1st Check in MM side in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Cod .
Now in FI side use t.code: OB52 and open the 07, 2008 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.
Now try ur transaction.
Note: Check Fiscal year variant in OBY6, hope it is K4.

Posting period for Non leading ledger

Hi
I am having Leading ledger & Non Leading ledger.
I am posting a document on a particular date. The period relating to that date in leading ledger is open & in non leading ledger is closed.
As per SAP standard the system will check the leading ledger & allow the posting.
Is it possible to write a validation for the following scenario.
If a document is posted the system should check the posting period in both leading & non leading ledger, if both are open then only the document should gets posted other wise an error message should be displayed.
Kinldy help me to address this issue.
Regards
R.Karthigayan

You have a few options here.
1 make sure your periods align each other
2 Use both selection options in OB52 and allow certain users to restricted periods
3 Use authorizations to validate the user if they can post into a period
4 Create a user exit on the save accounting document function module to check the rules.
Please award points if this is useful.

Issue with AFAB (Depreciation Posting)

We have recently gone live with AA.
When I try to run depreciation AFAB, SAP gives me the error "
You can only post in new year after closing the previous year.
Message no. AA687
Diagnosis
You want to post in a new fiscal year. However, a posting must have been made in the last period in the previous fiscal year before you can do this.
Procedure
Post to the last period in the previous year first.
I have already closed the fiscal year 2007 per OAAQ. All depreciation areas in OAAR are showing as 2007 as well.
I have then opened new year 2008 via AJRW
What else am I supposed to do? I am lost..
thanks
Brian
oh by the way...am i supposed to change OAYC as well? I understand that is for only when you go live within a year...
that values shows last posted period as 10/2007 instead of 12/2007

Hello
Assume you have completed the closing activities for previous year.
Check if the periods are open in the current year, and you can see balances in the current year as carried forward balances.
Check in asset explorer if you are able to simulate depreciation for the current year.
Start executing depreciation from the first period onwards.

Trying to add the new year 2012 to posting periods

I am trying to add the new 2012 months in posting periods in order to allow us to post some invoices that have terms due in 2012. First, when I go to add a new period the "category" feild is missing. Im guessing this has to be added somewhere else but I am not sure. Second, When I go to add the actual month for January 2012, I get the error "Enter Valid code [Posting Period -Period Code], '-' [Message 173-36]. Not really sure why I cant add this but I am guessing there is a step before I am missing. Any suggestions please...thank you!

I figured out how to add it, I was adding the month as 2012-01, yet I only had to put 2012 and it would pre-fill in the dates then. Thanks anyways!

Automatic reversal of journal entry into new posting period

Is there a way to set automatic reversal of a journal entry when creating a JE in the next posting period?

Hi,
I do not think this requirement can be met. There is no automatic reversal of document if it is being posted in the next period.
However, you can write a validation in order to prevent the users to post in next period in GGB0 and assign the same in OB28.
Hope this will solve your issue.

Ravi

Regarding MM Posting Period

At MIRO i am getting below error
"Posting only possible in periods 2011/11 and 2011/10 in company code 3220"
i am follwing a Fiscal Year from April to March, Hence current period is 11.
i have checked OB52 Posting Period Varient. where in period 11 is open to all Account types.
i have also checked MMRV..detaisl of MMRV below
Current Period 11 2011
Previous Period 10 2011
Last Period in prev. year 12 2010
Please suggest how shall i overcome this Error.
Spandana
FICO Consultant

Hi,
As you said & your system giving error message that to post in 10 or 11 period in year 2011.
Also you said your Fiscal Year from April to March & now hence current period is 11.
You are very much right about present period now 11. OK. What is current year now & how 2011 is opened?
Now the current YEAR IS 2010 & period 11
Now 1st check your Posting Period Variant for your company code " 3220" in t.code: OBY6
Now check your REQUIRED PERIODS to post ( 10,11 for year 2010) is open in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type with Posting Period Variant. If not just open it.
Now you need to reset the period (if your are practicing & testing) in OMSY t.code for setting periods for your company code " 3220" for material management.( This setting in OMSY is done once for all )
Now cross check in MMRV t.code for your company code " 3220" & You should have
Current Period 11 2010
Previous Period 10 2010
Last Period in prev. year 12 2009
Now try posting MIRO.

More than one posting period variant for one company code

Dear Colleagues,
My question is if it's somehow possible to assign more than one posting period variant to one company code? (I am not a FI specialist...)
(We are using the new GL and would like to define a special posting period interval for a non-leading ledger. The c.codes already exists and are already assigned to a posting period variant.)
The reason for why we would need an additional posting period variant for an existing c.code, is because we are already using both posting period intervals in t.code OB52.)
Best regards
Viveka Schwartz

Hi
You can assign a PPV to the Non Leading ledger separately.. That means both Leading and NOn Leading ledgers can have separate PPVs
Apart from this, no 3rd PPV is possible.. As Eli said, Validation is the only option, but I think Validations work for Leading ledgers only
