AR Receipt Reversed in a closed Period without System warning

Is there a way of stopping AR users from mistakenly reversing AR Receipt in a closed period as R12 does not give any system warning before reversal.
Especially as the receipt period is already closed and amount cleared and reconciled in Cash Management.
Surely the System should warn users before reversing but this is not the case in Account Receivable.
Has anyone else come accross this issue?
Thanks
Arin

Hello Arin ,
Greetings for the day!!!
When you reverse a receipt that was previously reconciled in Cash Management, there is no automatic process to alert the user. This is a standard functionality.
There is an Enhancement request "Bug 3888508 PROMPT WHEN RECEIPTS RECONCILED IN CE ARE REVERSED" for this issue.
Best Regards,

GR - closed period is not warned

Hi folks! SRM3.0.
For some reason we are able to perfom a GR in EBP to a posting period that is closed. No error message is shown. However, the Idoc is not posted in the backend R/3-system, hence giving us errors in the monitor.
(The same GR performed in backend system states error message M7 053)
Any ideas? brgs ziggy

Closing Period Authorization Change Non GL Documents

Version: SAP 2007 PL15
Description of requirements: A new authorization or period setting that would allow users to modify non-journal affecting attributes of a document like the due-date from a PO or the remarks field in a sales order after the period is set as a closing period without granting all users authorization to post within the closing period.
Valid as of: As soon as possible
Business needs: Many businesses have large PO's with multiple lines having different delivery dates which are used in MRP. The company does not want to allow these users to create new documents but as the due-dates get adjusted by the vendor the PO needs to be updated and when the PO is created in the closing period they are currently being blocked.
Examples: The customer creates a large POin January with 12 lines each line delivering on the 1st of the next month. on Feb. 1st the January period is set to closing period and all appropriate financial statements are genertaed. The vendor then calls and informs the purchasing employee that their March shipment will be late, sine that shipment contains goods that are used in production the estimated Duedate needs to be updated so MRP will not suggest incorrect stock levels ofother items or mistakenly suggest goods can be ready when they could not be. If this happens multiple times per day to several sales people then the individuals with modification authorization in the closing period would become enundated with requests.
Current Workaround: assign users authorization to closing periods which is not a sufficient long term work around, one clients books have already been corrupted by user error's in the purchasing and sales departments.
Proposed solution: A new Authorization that would allow modifications to documents that do not affect journal entries within the closing period. or the locked except sales period.
This has already impacted 2 customers strongly, Ioline systems and Dri-Eaz Inc.

Hi Greig,
Period Closing means users who have period closing authorization can post all types of transactions and documents. So if you have authorization to do this, you will still be able to post transactions.

MM Closed Period ReOpen

Dear All,
I have closed the MM period for the current month by mistake, now I want to reverse / Reopen the closed period.
Plz guide me how to do it

Hi,
If can flag allow posting in previous period using MMRV, is the best option rather than opening the previous period as it is not adivisible in productive system.
MMPI.If you want to run the period initialization program. Note that when you start the period closing with initialization, inconsistencies can arise.
Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization
Note 487381 describe the possible data inconsistencies that can occur if you perform initialization in a productive system. The inconsistencies cannot be traced back to a system error. Hope this helps you

How to reverse material ledger closing entries beyond previous period?

In a test system, the system does not permit reverse material ledger closing entries. The current period is 04/2008.
Getting a message C+716 message
You want to cancel closing entries in valuation area XXXX for period 008 in fiscal year 2007.
You are allowed to cancel closing entries only in the previous period. Reversing closing entries for periods before the previous period is not possible.
There are provision to run closing entries like MUST_SETTLE in the ok code features, Are there,any such for reversal? Could there be any work-around?

Hi David
If you dont need to perform the close itself but would just like to get the periods in the correct status you can use the process outlined in note 645083.
In the material ledger, it may be necessary for different reasons to manually set the period status of materials in former periods to 70 ("Closing Entry Completed") without actually carrying out the closing entry.
It provides program Z_ML_SET_PP_STATUS_70 that will allow a manual update to the prior period status.
There is a pre-requisite regarding revaluation amounts, but this is all described in the notes.

Open an already closed period

Is it possible to open an already closed posting period? If yes, how? And is it recommended to open any closed period?
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
There are two different places where the period is closed in SAP.
a. FI period
Use transaction OB52.
b. MM period - MMPI
The help extract for the same is given below for your reference:
Short text
Initialize Period for Material Master Records
Description
This program must be viewed in conjunction with the period closing program (RMMMPERI). It does the following:
Sets the current period
However, do not use this program to set the new period at the end of a period, and use it only in addition to the period closing program, never instead of it.
Creates or updates the control record
Makes it possible to create material master records if you are initializing a company code for the first time
However, to initialize company codes, you are recommended using the IMG activity Maintain company codes for materials management instead of this program.
You can also use this program to correct data inconsistencies, for example, due to user errors when running the period closing program, or that occur as a result of skipping several periods in a test system. However, first make sure you understand why the inconsistency arose and then decide whether running this program is the correct way of resolving it.
Caution
Be careful if the period used for initialization precedes the current period in the control record for the company code since this can result in an inconsistency between goods movements and material master segments. This is because the stock information in the material master segments is assigned to the new current period in this case (see the following example).
Example
Current period 02
Opening stock balance 0 pieces
Goods receipt 10 pieces
Period used for initialization 01
According to the material master segment, there are 10 pieces in stock in period 01, although 10 pieces were posted to stock in period 02 according to the goods movement document.

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE Goods Receipt Reversal

Hello All,
According to SAP docs I need to use goodsmvt_code-gm_code = '06' but with movement type 102 I get an error message "Goods movement not possible with movement type 102". Works fine if I use regular goods receipt code '01' and movement 102. Please let me know if Im missing something here.
Also, how do you post goods receipt reversal referencing goods receipt and not PO with BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE?
Thanks,
Leon

Hi Leon,
I found the following documentation by SAP seems to be helpful for you.
You can use the Cancel method to reverse goods movements. But you may also want to cancel a goods movement without referring to a material document (see the Cancel method).
If you want to work without referring to the document, you have to fill the field BAPI_GM_ITEM_CREATE-XSTOB in the interface (import table GOODSMVT_ITEM). In this case, the system converts the movement type assigned in the interface to the reversal movement type. Alternatively, you can set the reversal movement type in the interface. In this case, the BAPI_GM_ITEM_CREATE_XSTOB field must be transferred blank.
If you want to cancel a goods movement with reference to a reservation (without using the Cancel method) you can only transfer the field BAPI_GM_ITEM_CREATE_XSTOB if it is filled. Movement types are not transferred when you post with reference to a reservation, as the movement type is contained in the reservation item.

Changing PO details when posted in closed period

Hi,
We are on SBO2007A PL42.
When we attempt to change details on a purchase order that was posted in a period that is now closed, we are unable to do so.
There shouldn't be a problem modifying these PO's as they don't affect the general ledger in any way.
The only way we have found around it is to modify the posting date of the PO and then change the details we want to change.
Is there any other way to allow us to change the details without changing the posting date?
Thanks,
Michael

This is a problem with authorisations, which is fixed in PL46 of 2007A.
Try giving authorisation to "update posted AR documents", or to allow to "post to Closing Periods".
I have found I needed to give both of these to get this to work.
The other option is to change the date on the PO to a date in an open period.
These should be able to be updated by superusers?

SCOM generating closed alerts WITHOUT open alert first...

Hey guys,
A quick question relating to a minor bug-bear of mine. SCOM is working fantastically within our infrastucture! However, there is one minor issue - every so often we get email alerts generated for closed issues without first receiving an alert indicating
that an issue is "open" in the first place!
I first thought this might be because the issue rectifies itself before the "delay sending notifications" period has expired and therefore we're only receiving an alert indicating the issue is closed - but if that were the case, we shouldn't receive
the closed alert either if the issue opens and closes automatically within the "delay sending notifications" period?
UNLESS the issue resolves itself precisely upon the completion of the "delay sending notifications" period and thus we only received the closed alert.
Hope this makes sense. :) Any idea's as to what is going on here?
Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.
Cheers.

Hi
u say , u parked a docuement in Feb month , but the user want that document parked in the month of january.(which is already closed)
Ok but suppose if u reset the document, then docuement date or posting date cannot be reset,. only amount or reference field u can reset.
So u reverse the parked document in the month of Feb,from t.code FB08 and if u parked that document in the month of jan , u can open the period from OB52 transaction.
If any query fee free ask me

Reserval of Assessment Cycles for closed periods - FAGLGA15

Hello,
We have assessment cycles in closed periods which we want to reverse / repost in current period. We are using ECC New GL functionality. Tcode KISR does not seem to recognize Assessment cycles created with FAGLGA1* .
Suggestions / options to achieve the end result, please.
Regards
Jayesh.

Hi:
If your CO allocation has some external postings (like GL or fixed assets) or generating some intercompany documents, then it needs FI to be open also. It happens sometimes if the allocation goes external so it would need fI period to be open also. If FI is close but CO is open, it would only work for CO specific allocations and others would error out.
Please check the cycle/segment which is in error. If it is suppose to hit FI, then FI (OB52) and CO (OKP1) periods should be in sync.
Thanks.

To open the closing period...

Hi all,
To reverse the period, is there is any other way other than following methods.
Note that no transaction is done.
1.Reassignment of Plant
2.To run SAP note initialization (MM_PI_Note)
If we remove Plant it makes some problem and for running SAP notes we need Basis and abaper help.
Any other solution is there...
Thnks & Regards
SAP MM User

Hi
It is possible to re-open a previously closed period. However, it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous period could be affected.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.
If there has already been postings after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.

Open and Closed periods

Dear FI experts,
For FISL, can I say that a closed period can be modified and closed again?
For example, periods 1-6 have been closed.
Correction or adjustment need to be done in period 2. Period 3-6 balances are affected. So, how is the adjustment applied to the 6 periods? In this case, a closed period becomes opened again? Is such a scenario possible?
Thanks
Adette
