Authorization check for Open and Close Periods ( OB52)

Dear Experts,
We have created ZOB52 for Opening and closing periods. This is replica of Tcode: OB52 with some other developments that we required. Here for resticting user I had tried authorization Object: F_BKPF_BUP for particular company code wise posting. This was however not working. Kindly suggest.

Hi,
The last column in OB52 - AuGr (Authorization Group) helps you in restricitng certain users to use a posting period. This field is freely definable.
If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular posting period, proceed as follows:
Add the posting period authorization (authorization object F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an authorization group (e.g. '0001').
In OB52, in the row with the account type '+', enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g. '0001') in the last column.
For company code wise restrictions, you should have a seperate posting period variant for each company code.

Reg:T-CODE for open and close period for materials(new plant).

hi sap guru's
T-code for following process
can anybody send me , how to create calendar to new plant . and what is the T-code to be use for open and close period of materials for new plant.
thanks
sakthi..

Hi Sakthi,
I am assuming that you are asking about the factory calendars which are assigned while difing the plant.
Factory calendars are created through transaction "SCAL".
Opening and closing of MM periods can be done through transaction MMPV.This is based on the company code.Before using MMPV ,you can look the last opened period in the transaction MMRV.
Reward points if it helps.

How to open and close period?

Hi all,
How can I open and close Period in MM module?
thanks

Hello,
First of all read SAP Note 487381. T-code MMPI. If you don't have a backup or a request saved on development client with the previous period, you may try to modify the record on the table MARV (don't try yourself - discuss with a specialist who know your SAP system). If there isn't any records it won't be a problem!
Good Luck!

Use a customized TreeCellRenderer:

        public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                                                      Object value,
                                                      boolean sel,
                                                      boolean expanded,
                                                      boolean leaf,
                                                      int row,
                                                      boolean hasFocus) {
            super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(
                            tree, value, sel, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
            setToolTipText(expanded ? "Click to view subprocesses" : "Click to view process");
            return this;
    }

Open and Close periods/Fiscal years

Dear All
We are in the process of FM-BCS implementation, we observed thre is transaction code (FMOPER) for open the Budget periods. This is working for Budget workbech (FBMM) only. But at the time of Actual Postings even period is not open in FMOPER system is allowing for actual postings.
Kindly suggest where we can control actual postings through period open/cose option in FM-BCS.
Thanks in advance
Rao

Hi Rao,
You need to be aware of all the impact of the use of PBET (Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking) before activating it in transaction OF39. This is not a simple change, it impacts all your integrated postings that come from all other areas (FI, CO, MM, SD) into FM.
You cannot use any FM update date other than the POSTING date when PBET is active.
One common error when you activate PBET is FI_E050 - Posting date/period 00/00/0000 is earlier than existing
date/period 00/00/0000.
If you want updating to take place on the delivery date, you must return profile to Fiscal Year Based (non-PBET) updating.
This step will also eliminate the error FI_E050.
Part of the basic PBET logic, aims at recording a detailed change history of every single document in FM.
For more details on this, please also refer to the program documentation and chapter Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Recording Actual and Commitment Data -> Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking.
The standard functionality when PBET is active is to use the system date as the FM posting date. However, you do have 3 options to overwrite this:
Document Creation:
1.- Version Management (PR/PO)
2.- FM updating date is the document posting date.
Document Change:
1.- System use FM_TRANS_DATE date as FM updatign date, if this date is not filled, system use system date as FM updating date.
If customer want to change this logic, the FM updating date is decided by one of the following three steps, in order shown.
- Version Management (PR/PO): Posting date of version
- Transaction FMOD to override the update date by user
- Activate user exit EXIT_SAPLFMFA_004 so that a popup screen is
displayed that permits entering the FM posting date, you could
manually set the date found in the document header to a later date.
- you could manually set the date found in the document header to a
later date (System date SY_DATUM).
PBET is Periodic-based encumbrance tracking and it is a function that monitors encumbrances per period, with a change record issued for each change made within a period. This function belongs to Funds Management Area (PSM-FM).
If PBET is active, system does not allow posting to a date earlier than the present date, you will receive error FI_E050 in case this is not satisfied. Follow are two comments form the code which indicate same:
"No new dates can be earlier than the original or new account assignment line items".
"Ensure that new fm update dates are not older than original date or if a change, this change must be latest date in document"
To use or not to use PBET is customer decision and this impact that the period is verified more strictly than without PBET. Maybe you should consider with your consultant if using PBET is the best solution for your business processes.

Vanessa.

Authorization for opening & Closing posting periods - OB52

Hi,
Is there any way to set authorization for opening & closing of posting periods in OB52?
My scenario:
I have 2 company codes - A & B assigned to 2 different posting period variant - say PPA & PPB.
The user belonging to CoCd A should not be able to open/close posting period of CoCd B and vice versa.
Is this possible through any authorization settings?
Request your help on this.
Regards,
Sridevi

Hi Sridevi
Please go through the following:
You can assign authorization groups for permitted posting periods. This means that, for example, some posting periods can only be opened for particular users within monthly or annual closing. You can only assign the authorization group at document header level and it only affects period 1. The authorization object is called F_BKPF_BUP (Accounting document: Authorizations for posting periods). Read the corresponding chapter on "User maintenance" in the "Assigning authorizations" topic.
"User maintenance"
Due to the modular authorization concept of the system, you can define authorization profiles which are tailored to the workplace of your employees. You can, for example, assign authorization to a workplace in the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable or General Ledger Accounting areas.
By assigning authorizations you define which business-related objects your employees are allowed to process and which editing functions are allowed.
In the following activities for authorization management, you must carry out the following for employees who are to work with the system:
Assign authorizations
The authorizations are assigned by specifying permitted values for the pre-defined objects.
Define profiles
In the SAP system, authorizations are grouped together in workplace profiles. Therefore one or more profiles must be allocated to the individual employee in the master record.
I hope this helps.

Regarding open and close period

How to search which period is closed and which period is opened??

Hi Akshata,
Attached is the screenshot of OB52 screen. Here you can refer to From period 1 to To period 2. In this example, period is open for 11th period 2010 to 1st period 2011. If you want to close 11th period of 2010 you can change the field "From period 1" to 12 2010.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/407/ob52.png/
Please check the account type which you want to be open also. If it is only the Gl Account entries keep the account type "S" and "+" open.

Open and close period

hi all,
i want the details about opening a period and closing a period, can we post a document which is in previous in previous period...
cheers
Amith

Hi,
No, You can not post a document which is in previous in previous period.You can post document in MM side in Current period and Curent minus one period, if set back posting allowed in MMRV.
In T.code: MMRV and you can see which period is open for ur Co.Codeand back posting is allowed or not.In MMPV close the period last period and automatically system open the new one, Its only control in MM Side.
In FI side , they use t.code: OB52 and open the period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type. In FI side you can open period more then two period in OB52 step.
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.For more read the SAP Note:487381 and 369637.
If ur working in SandBoxx u can follow the these steps but not in Production:
1. use t.code OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. use t.code OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.use t.code OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.
But after doing all steps, u can see all G/L assign in OBYC, will be deleted, you have assign again in OBYC.

Open and close posting period authorization control TCODE: S_ALR_87003642

HI All,
Is there any chance to control the user to open and close another company code posting period variant in TCODE: S_ALR_87003642.
In our system we are using the same client for different countries. So user can able to change the other country company code posting periods.
We would like to control either on the country (or) organizational unit(company code) (or) posting period variant so that user can only open/close their country / company code posting periods.
Our present authorization role for open and close posting period contain the auth.Obj. : S_TABU_DIS.
Please share your knowledge if you come across this problem..
Thanks in advance..

Hey Sandhya,
Congratz, this can be done using linbe item authorization with the object S_TABU_LIN.
Field ORG_CRIT - Value 02
Field ORG_FIeld1 - Value ZT001B
We have successfully done it in our client.
You need to contact your BASIS consultant for this.
Thanks,

Open and close posting periods urgent! (ob52)

Hi SAP gurus,
i am trying to post open and close balances (it is spesific to my country) however i do not want users to post to 2007 except me.
how can i achieve this with not blocking all users.
in other words, i need authorization to post last year although it is closed for all users.
note: can you pls explain the difference btw "from period 1" and "from period 2" in OB52. and also there is an authorization group at the last column what does this mean?
thx in advance.

Hi,
If you stand on the field "authorization group" and use "F1" you can find the help on that field, you will find that it is very helpful.
You should define period 2 for all users and period 1 to the restricted users,
Next, you should assigned a free symbol in the field "authorization group" (which refer to period 1), then ask the person that responsible in your organization of the authorization to assign the authorization object F_BKPF_BUP with that specific symbol to the restricted users,
That should do the job.
If that helps, feel free to assign points
Kind regards,
Yoav

Two intervals in Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

What is the purpose of the two intervals (period 1 and period 2) in Open and Close Posting Periods (transaction OB52)?

Hi,
Financial statements cannot be prepared on the last day of the accounting period... to find out the correct profit and to determine the correct financial positing... sometimes you may require to make some adjustment to accounting records after the closing of the accounting year... like adjustments for expenses payable, income receivable, writting off bad debts ...etc.
For posting those transactions....period 2 is maintained ..which are also called as special periods... to make the postings in these periods ...special authorisation is required.....
Period 1 is for regular postings ...

Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

Dear Experts,
My client wants to close the posting period of the previous month.
First I went to transaction OB52 to define an entry From Per. 1 2008 To Per. 12 2009 to open all the posting period for the year. But when the time passes, do I have to manually change the From Per. back to the current month (e.g From Per.1 2008 changed to From Per. 2 2008 and so on)
If this is the case, is there any way to make this a automatic function to do this.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks.

Hi,
You define posting periods in your fiscal year variants. You can open and close these posting periods for posting. As many periods as you require can be open for posting simultaneously. Special periods can be open for closing postings during the period-end closing.
You have the following options for opening and closing posting periods:
- Posting Period Variants: You can specify which company codes are open for posting in a posting period variant. Posting period variants are cross-company code and you have to assign them to your company codes.
- Account Type: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account type. This means that for a specific posting period, postings can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts.
- Account Interval: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account intervals. This means that you only open a posting period for posting to a specific account.
Path for making the settings for opening and closing posting periods:
Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Posting Periods
For detailed example for opening and closing posting periods please refer the link below:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/96/8b300943ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.
