AP month-end closing question
consult :
if there are records in table 'ap_accounting_events_all' which EVENT_STATUS_CODE = 'CREATED' , will them influence the AP month-end closing ??
Hello.
SQL> select p.period_name, ae.event_status_code, p.closing_status, h.AE_HEADER_ID
2 from ap_ae_headers_all h, ap_accounting_events_all ae, gl_period_statuses p
3 where ae.accounting_event_id = h.accounting_event_id
4 and h.period_name = p.period_name
5 and p.application_id = 200
6 and p.closing_status = 'C'
7 and ae.event_status_code = 'CREATED';
no rows selected

As you can see, i cannot find similar situation. My database has data since 1998. Perhaps we are using different APPS versions, mine is 11.5.10.2

Month end closing question from a DBA
Hi all,
I am a DBA not a functional setup person/Business Analyst; so excuse me if my question is not put in business terms.
We have an 11.5.10.2 that operates in US, Canada, Peru, China and Australia. Each of these have their own Set of Books. When the time comes to do month end closing, our finance people tell all incl our US and other countries branches to stop the following transactions on the system while month end closing is going on:
• Inventory
o Pick, pack and ship for SO’s and Internal Req’s
o Receiving of PO’s, Internal Req’s and OSP
o Subinventory transfers
o Consignment consumption
o Inventory adjustments
• WIP
o WIP moves and completions
• Accounts Receivable
o Cash applications
o Invoicing of any shipping activity past cutoff o Manual invoices and credits
• Accounts Payable
o Invoice entry and cancellation
o Manual or batch payment runs
Question that I have is: how can month end closing be done where each of these countries could freeze these activities for their last day of month when last day of month starts obviously earlier in Australia and China compared to US, Canada and Peru? As of now, they all seem to follow the last day of the month procedure as the US. It takes about 7 hours for the whole process to run.
All comments/suggestions welcome.
Thanks,

We are a utility without PP module. We use CO Production Order to accumulate costs of assembling components (parts and labor) into a material number that we receipt into inventory. We have questions about month end closing process and the settlement of these CO Production Orders when receipts are not complete or labor is not completely entered at month end.
Basically we need to know how other non-manufacturing companies handle the settlement process.Hi,
The Month end Activities are as follows

Clearing the suspense account regularly
All the Expenses Including the prepaid expenses have to be booked..
Intercompany Balances Should be Zero

Accural and referal in any differneces.
GR/IR Clearing Transaction (Tcode-F.13)

Revaluation of foreign currencyopen items(F.05)
Order Settlements.

Match GL and PCA(KE5T)
MM period Close and Open (Tcode MMVP)
FI Period Open(Tcode OB52).
CO period Closing
Year End Process
All the Month end Activities should be Carried Out.

Direct Posting of Sales in FI and month end closing
Dear Experts
I learnt that :
Sales Direct Entries may be posted in FI without posting in SD/MM.
Sales entries must always be posted only through SD process. If this is NOT done (for example freight rate received from third party freight forwarders), then only FI people should know how to reconcile and NOT sd people. Hence I recommend posting your query in FI forum after closing this thread.
Regards,
My question is , during month-end closing how should FI or accounting address the above direct posting issues?
Apparently, such practice is not right.
There is no trace of the sales in SD MM. There is no corresponding billing doc in SD MM but found in FI .
How should this situation be handled as best practice?
I am BI person but found this issue with FI data not reconciled with SD MM.
I am not sure how the month-end closing was done when there is such data. Yes, the problem was found AFTER month was closed and I loaded the data to BI.
best regards
PascalDear Sirs
What is the fastest easiest way to find out which FI direct entries were posted without corresponding Sales / Billing documents created ?
Is there any standard report or reports available in oss?
Currently, our other interfacing systems are having problem with data due to direct entries where there is no corresponding Sales / Billing docs posted. This is causing a lot of time investigating what entries caused the reconciliation problem.
Your help would make my life easier.
Thanks!

Dear all
pl, explain few questions
1) What r the month end closing activities done in SAP PP?
2) How do u capture product cost?
3) What is Teco, closing a prod. orderand order settlement?
thanks
RajHi Raj,
1) What r the month end closing activities done in SAP PP?
Wun WIP (KKAX/KKAO) and settlement KO88/CO88. Prior to this carry out TECO for all orders which are technically complete.
2) How do u capture product cost?
Product costing is done using quantity structure generally for production using BoM and routing costs which are basically material and labour costs. The transaction used for this CK11N. The planned cost is captured in the order when you create a prod order. The actual costs are booked to the order when you post the goods issues and perform confirmation. The planned costs for labour are derived based on the activity prices for every activity which are linked to the standard values of the operation. Activity prices are maintained in Co using KP26 transaction.
3) What is Teco, closing a prod. orderand order settlement?
TECO means Technically complete. By setting TECO the order from logistics point is set as complete. The pending reservations are deleted. The prod orders are not considered to deliver goods anymore. So will not appear in your stock/reqmnts. But still you could post goods issues. By Closing the production order you cannot post any document. It is financially closed. The pre-requisite for CLSD status is that the order balance is set to zero. By settling an order it means the order balances if any are brough to zero by posting the balances to relevant GL accounts. To WIP account if still WIP exits or to Material account if it is TECOed or fully delievred.
Hope this helps.

Settlement for month-end closing, individual production or sales order
Dear SAP Experts,
Our style is MTO.
In month-end closing, we follow to make a settlement for production orders:
1. CO43 -- Actual overhead calculation (collective processing)
2. KSU5 -- Actual allocations Assessment
3. KSII -- Actual Price Calculation
4. CON2 -- Revaluation at actual prices (collective processing)
5. KKAO -- WIP calculation (collective processing)
6. CO88 -- Production order settlement (collective processing)
Question:
1. What kind accounts will be effected after above each step?
2. does individual production settlement need step 1-4 in above?
1. KKAX (Work in Process)
2. KO88 (Settlement)
Is those enough?
3. What kind account will be effected after va44 processing?
Any tips will be welcome.
Zhou ZhenHi,
The value flow completely different for each of the MTO Scenario.
I need to know what kind of MTO scenario you have.
is it MTO - Valuated Sale Order without Sale Order Controlling
Is it MTO - Valuated Sale Order with Sale Order Controling
is it MTO- Non-valuated Sale Order (Sale Order controlling is mandatory)
based on this the value flows and the transaction that need to be executed will differ.
The way you explained i presume that it could be any of the first two scenarios.
in such case, the value flows are as good as make to stock scenario. Only in the third scenario, the value flow completely changes
For 1. What kind accounts will be effected after above each step?
all the accounts relevant for Make to Stock will get affected. But the the scenario is MTO - Valuated Sale Order with Sale Order Controling, the the variances from production order is settled to Sale order instead of settling to COPA.
For 2. does individual production settlement need step 1-4 in above?
All the steps from 1 to 6 are necessary for any of the above 3 scenarios
For 3. What kind account will be effected after va44 processing?
This is for calculating the overheads on the sale order. in this case, the sale order is a controlling object. once this t.code is executed, you can see the oh being calculated on the sale order
Hope this will give some good isight in to various MTO scenarios

Month End Closing - Schedule Manager
Hello,
Does anybody know what are the other tools offered by SAP for month end closing?
I am trying to use Schedule Manager (SCMA) but its not letting me define dependencies on "Notes" task. I mean I am trying to add "Notes" task in Schedule Manager for the specific month end tasks which will be performed outside of SAP and user will just checkmark in SCMA.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.Dear All,
I am still facing below issue.
While creating flow definitions , when I try to attach program I face below issue.
e.g. I want to attach program RK_PEP_WL_SEL_SAL which is in the application CO-PC-OBJ-SALESORD but when I created flow definition I gave application as Controlling , so how to add program in the flow definition which has different application ?
If I try to attach application CO-PC-OBJ-SALESORD in flow definition itself then I cannot add programs in Controlling application .
Kindly help how to add different programs from different application.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
After go-live for month end closing, what are the activities to be followed up from SCM/MM view point.
regards
foztersHi,
If Back posting is not allowed, you cant post the document in prior to the last month. For example if you closing period for June month, if back post the document in last month, you hve to post in current month only.
If the back posting is allowed then you can post in +/- 1 month to the current month.
I think no specific checking are requried, pls inform the user tht they cant post the document on last month.
Hope its clear.

How to ? - Month end closing
Dear All,
I need to conduct month end closing. My financial periods are defined as months.
What are the steps required to conduct month end closing in B1 ? Is the period closing tool used for this purpose (i am double minded at the moment if it is so...)
Please advice.
CHeers
GautamHi ,
The concept of period end closing is to avoid the confusion and consistency .
Allow me to explain
Once the period is closed ,
1.Users cannot post into the period.
(That means accountant wil know that the number they printed has not been influenced by another user data entry
that will help them to maintain correct data by month )
2.What is the purpose of closing by month
It will give you an idea how organisation is doing by monthly basis .
Lets say if you donot close period , user can enter the transaction in open period.that means you will never be sure and you have to check everyday if somebody post an transaction in earlier period than running period .
I hope that will help -

Month end closing - production order status
Hello,
I am requesting the information, can I carry the month end closing and account for only production orders having the TECO system status rather than considering production orders with the DLV status.
Where in SPRO these parameters are being adjusted .
Thanks and Regards
ArturHi,
For settlement, the Order Status Should be TECO and/or DLV.
If it is not TECO also, with DLV status syetm will consider the Order for Settlement.
With BS22 (Maintain System Statuses) you can handle the Situation..
Travel to I0045 - TECO- Double Click on that.
Please refer this link also
