Asset Depreciation fun in special posting period

Dear Gurus,
Recently my Finance Manager decided to hv a cut-off date for all the FI transaction on 14-Dec-2007.
These are the rules:
1.) All the FI transaction < 14-Dec-2007 posted in period 12
2.) All the FI transaction Between 15-Dec-2007 and 31-Dec2007 will be posted in special posting period 14.
3.) All year-end adjustment will be carried out in posting period 16.
My problems are:-
1.) How can i proceed the Asset depreciation run for period 12 and special period 14.
2.) How the system select or capture the asset doc? By posting date or by posting period?
3.)If possible pls give some examples when we should use these options and what are the advantages?
   a.) Planned posting run.
   b.) Repeat
   c.) Restart
   d.) Unplanned posting run.
Thanks.

1.) How can i proceed the Asset depreciation run for period 12 and special period 14.
Hi, First of all you need to understand the function of special period. You need not to mention the spl period of depr. run.
The system considers period 12 as usual.
2.) How the system select or capture the asset doc? By posting date or by posting period?
By posting date.
3.)If possible pls give some examples when we should use these options and what are the advantages?
a.) Planned posting run.
       When you run the depr. on regular peiod basis ie., one by one, U choose (a)
d.) Unplanned posting run.
      When you want to calculate the depr. for some periods as a whole, U choose (d)
b.) Repeat
     Suppose u ran the depr for Jan. In Feb. you have capitalised an asset for Jan. So, U have to calculate depr for the new asset for jan.   U choose (b).
c.) Restart
       When you are running depr. you might have face some uncontrollable problems like power off, server down etc. In such instances, you choose (c).
Get back to me. if you are not clear

Special posting period

Hi sap guru's,
i have one doubt regarding posting period.
when we define posting perod and there when we create open & close posting period , in there we have to maintain posting normal period as wel as special posting period for entering closing data for same fiscal year.
if we going for V3 fiscal year variant and it is from april to march. so entry posted in the special period for rectification purpose.
my problem is in special posting period from and to column.
again i mention that my fiscal year variant is standart V3 i maintain period for yearly basis my normal posting period from i enterd 2008 and to period i enterd 2009.
so what i maintain in special posting period from and to column means which year i maintain and why?
<removed_by_moderator>
regards,

Please maintain like this:-
From Period - 13 year 2007 To Period -16 Year 2007
Or You can use 13 to 13,
then 14 to 14
then 15 to 15
then 16 to 16
The no of times you take P/L And B/S and you are posting in the above speacial period and make entries as per your Auditor's observation.

Consolidation in special posting period

Hi All,
I am using the Fiscal year variant April to March with 4 special posting periods in ECC. I am using the same in BCS too.
I am taking the data through LFDS with posting period move.
I am using quarterly consolidation which is period 3, 6, 9 and 12. However I have balances appearing in special posting periods 13 - 16 in source cube. My first consolidation is happeing for period 12. 2008
How do I take care of the transactions posted in Sepcial posting periods 13 - 16.
1. Should I be running the COI in period 16 too. Should I be running it as subsequent consolidation or make period 16 itself as first consolidation.
2. I am also thinking of making the changes in the source cube 0FIGL_C10 with an additional field called consolidation posting period and write a routine to update additional period field as 12 wherever the posting period is 13 to 16. Then extract the data into BCS for period 12 and have only consolidation frequency till period 12. Can I proceed with this approach ?
Pl give a standard and correct approach to be followed in case of special posting periods considering all the above facts.
Thanks in advance
Srinivasan

Hi Srinivasan,
1. Should I be running the COI in period 16 too. Should I be running it as subsequent consolidation or make period 16 itself as first consolidation.
- I don't think that you should.
2. I am also thinking of making the changes in the source cube 0FIGL_C10 with an additional field called consolidation posting period and write a routine to update additional period field as 12 wherever the posting period is 13 to 16. Then extract the data into BCS for period 12 and have only consolidation frequency till period 12. Can I proceed with this approach
- I like the idea.
Pl give a standard and correct approach to be followed in case of special posting periods considering all the above facts.
- Didn't see such written approaches and doubt that they exist.

Clearing through F.13 in special posting period 13

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to clear the transactions through F.13 with special posting period 13. The message shows F502 : "Posting period 012 2008 is not open".
Our Financial year is : 2008 ( April 2008 to March 2009)
In OB52 We have closed the posting period for 2008 and open special posting period in the following manner
0001 + 0000 zzzz 02 2009 02 2009 13 2008 16 2008.
Still why the system is not accepting the special posting period 13 for the posting date 31.03.2009 (2008 fiscal year) in transaction code F.13

Babjee

Hi Anil,

System is not permitting the message to change from error to warning. Reference message no: BF00400.

Special psoting periods

HI
Guru's
Please suggest me about " Special posting periods'
when the Special posting periods will closed
Expecting ur Valuabkw answer with Good examples
with regards
Arun Kumar

Hi,
Special posting periods are that subdivide the last regular posting period for closing operations. Irrespective of how you have defined your fiscal year, you can also use special periods. Special periods subdivide the year-end closing period. They therefore merely divide the last posting period into several closing periods. This enables you to create several supplementary financial statements.
A fiscal year usually has 12 posting periods. In General Ledger Accounting, you can define up to four special periods.
If you do not need 12 posting periods, you can use the posting periods that are not required as special periods. If you use these additional closing periods, you must specify the number you require in the field No. special periods. when defining the fiscal year variants. You cannot exceed a maximum of 16 periods.
Integration: When posting to special periods, you must take the following into consideration:
The posting date must fall within the last regular posting period.
You have to enter the special periods in the document header in the Period field, since the special periods cannot be determined automatically by the system.

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

Error :in opening posting period

For opening posting period April08-March 09 what to do?
Posting varient is created for current posting period,now for new posting period is it so to create new varient ?
& if new varient created then how to assign to company code as one current varient already assigned

You can have the same posting period variant.
Go to Tcode OB52 and give your open period and close period for normal posting periods

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

Fixed Assets Posting period

Good Afternoon,
We have a customer that accidently created a posting period for a Year, e. g. 2011-01, when it was supposed to be created for months (12). He then deleted the period from the Posting Periods in System Initialization and created the correct period, e.g. 2011. In the fixed assets add-on both periods remained and the add-on can´t be updated accordingly.
When they did the fiscal year change they changed from 2010 to 2011-01, instead of doing to the correct one, 2011. Then the fixed assets values were updated for the period 2011-01 (and not for 2011).
Now they need to do the depreciation run for January (and next months) and they can only select the option 2011 (can't select 2011-01). The depreciation runs but, in the end, doesn´t post anything in the journal entry.
What can I do to solve this issue?
Thank you,
Susana Cunha.

Hi Gordon,
How can I break the links related to fiscal year change done from 2010 to 2011-01?
When I try to do fiscal year change again i can't select the 2011 year, the field is automatically filled with 2011-01. Then I can´t update de fixed assets values for the period 2011.
Thank you,
Susana.

Posting Period's

Hi Sap Experts,
I am not able to procure the asset by using special period Ex:13
T.CODE :F-90
Document Date : 01.04.2010
Posting Date : 01.04.2010
Period 13
Error Message: Period is not open for 2009.
Thanks,
Prabhakar

Hi Prabhakar,
What is your fiscal year variant?
Did you open Period 13 in OB52?
Period 13 is a special period and the posting date should be within the date range of your last month of the business year. For example, if your business year is Apr - Mar, then your 12th period would be March. So, you can post in period 13 with any posting date in March. However, period 13 should be open at OB52.

Mike

Depreciation-To posting Period

Hi,
In production server depreciation start date in the depreciation area is given as 31.03.2007 instead of 26.09.2006.
Now in the asset explorer the depreciation posted is showing for period 13.In the very next row it is showing period 16 and planned depreciation value is showing straight way.Whenever we run depreciation (Test Run)for period 14,15 it is showing already posted.And if we run for period 16 it is showing on repeat run.Pls help
Due to this the year can not be closed for this particular asset.The error message "Depreciation not posted completely"-Against a partcilular asset".It is happening only for one asset.
The depreciation start date in the asset master also can not be changed due to close of year.
Now how will we rectify the depreciation start date in the asset master and correct the depreciation to post and close the year 2006 -2007.we can not close the period 2006-2007 for asset accounting.

Hi,
if you see a planned value in the asset explorer in a special period, then it means that you posted alreaddy in special periods, but due to asset changes there is still depreciation to be posted. From your description you surely posted periods 13, 14, 15 and 16 in this company code. If so, you can only post a REPEAT run in period 16.

Markus
