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.

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.

T.code for opening of posting periods

Hi Can any body give me the T code of posting periods open thorugh easy access menu ? BR..AJ

Hi,
You can change the functionality of OB52 making it possible to do the changes in production directly. Read note 77430 to do so... The relevant object is V_T001B.
Regarding your later question, it does not matter what date is now in your developement system; whatever data you will put there, it will be transported to the target system.

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

Re open the closed Posting Periods - Very Urgent

Dear Experts,
We have an urgent problem to solve.The company code currently we are configuring uses fiscal year (oct - Sept) and the other company codes in our client site uses (jan -Dec). So by mistake we closed posting periods using MMPV upto 2007 03 but it should be 2006 06(correct me if i am wrong).
As we are still in baseline configuration we don't have any material document in the current company code. From this forum I got some solution to intialize the posting period using MMPI(which directed me to use SAP Note 487381).
Now if I do MMPI with the directions mentioned in SAP Note 487381, will i face any problem now & in future.
Please suggest me and help me as has become hurdle for the test process.
Thanks in Advance...
Nagesh Aswartha

Hi Aswartha
As you do not have any material documents , pl go ahead and initialize the periods. Should not be a problem.
I normally do this to avoid errors:
In MMPV, never give a period. Enter the current date(or first date of the month) in the date field and execute closing program.
Best regards
Ramki

Track changes in opening / closing FI period

Does SAP have a standard report to track the changes made by opening / closing FI periods in a given date range for a particular company code using T Code OB52 and also track who has made the changes.
If there is no standard report what is the solution to get this

I would like to know steps or T-CODE for end year closing.
1) With TC: F.16 we can carry forward the balance to next year.
2) With TC: OBH2 copy the number ranges to next year
3) Open next year periods by selecting the Posting Period Variant.
4) Then test by posting the transaction in F-02
How about TC : OB52, when we can't run that steps?
Check List:
In order to arrive at correct profit or loss for the month following checklist can be followed:
Month end closing Activities
1) All the expenses including amortization, prepaid expenses, Preliminary expenses and accruals have been booked.
2) Complete Bank Reconciliation
3) Make sure that Sum of Inter company balances is Zero
4) Suspense Accounts should be cleared regularly.
5) Ensure that all documents related to MM & SD have been entered in system.
6) Ensure that all billing documents are released to accounting.
7) Calculate Overheads on all process Orders (CO43)
8) Technically complete all process orders which are fully processed (CORM).
9) Calculate Variance (KKS1)à (Relevant only if Standard cost is calculated).
10) Settle all process orders which are technically complete (CO88).
11) Close All settled Process Orders
12) Close MM period (Transaction Code: MMPV).
13) Carry out GR/IR clearing (F.13) transaction
14) Depreciation Run (AFAB) has been carried out for the month
15) Close FI Posting period after the month end closing activity is over.
Year end closing Activities
1) Calculate production work in progress on process orders which are not technically complete.
2) Carry out Assessment cycle for Cost Centers.
3) All month end closing Activities should be carried out.
4) Carry Forward Balances to next year
(With TC: F.16 we can carry forward the balance to next year.
With TC: OBH2 copy the number ranges to next year
Open next year periods by selecting the Posting Period Variant.
then test by posting the transaction in F-02)
We donu2019t use TC:OB52 for end year closing?
I have replied partly to your query. sorry for that. I have sent you the opening new year reords.
The closing procedure is as follows: -
1. Carry forward Vendor & Customer Balances: TC: F.07
2. Assets:
i) TC: OB 52 - for assets 2 years can be openned at a time.
ii) check which year is closed: TC: OAAQ
iii) Close the year 2004: TC: AJAB
Note: Unless depreciation for all the months is posted for all the assets you cannot close the year.
iv) Open year 2005: TC: AJRW
Hope the above clears your doubt.

OPEN\CLOSE POSTING PERIOD

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a system with different company code, each company code has a posting period variant.
My question is:
Is there the possibility (by tcode 'OB52') that more users can, at the same time, open\close posting periods related to them posting period variant?
In practice, my customer asks me:
AT THE SAME TIME: - user x (company X) modifies posting periods of PPV '001' and user y (company Y) modifies posting periods of PPV '002'...
Is it possible???
thank you in advance..

Hi Jason,
Probably I may not recommend this. These are most critical activities. We do not the dependency of the tables. Meaning that the table could be linked to many other tables and fields in database. This may end up in data integrity issues.
These are not the activities that we should do on a daily basis. Normally we open and close the period on a monthly basis and open this screen for few minutes or so. I would suggest first user can go and change and then he come back and the second person may change.
Since this a very critical activity, anything wrong would impact all other modules, as the data is moving from all other modules to FI.
Therefore, I would only recommend one by one to change OB52 OR give the authority to a centralized person in order to open and close the periods.
Regards,
Ravi

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

Clarify these words:posting period varients & open & close posting period

Hi Sap Gurus,
Someone kindly make me clarify following words.Thank you.
1.Posting period varient.
2.Open & close posting periods
3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
Best Regards,
priya desai
Financial Analysist

Hi,
It is very easy and understandble.
1.Posting period varient.
If you want to post any documents you need to enter some date right? That date would belongs to some posting period right?.
for Example your Fin.period is JAN to DEC. Means 01 is for Jan, 12 is for DEC, 05 for May.
So according to your requirement you have to create the variant and define what do you want.
2.Open & close posting periods
When you in operation and if you are posting a document in the month of Feb. the period Jan has been closed it will avoid the mistakes while posting to the different periods.
3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
Once you have created your company code and your posting variant. You are assign to make the link to both the level.

Block cancellation/creation of billing document on CLOSED posting period

Hi Experts,
Currently, user is allowed to cancel/create backdated billing document where period already closed, but it does not release to accounting automatically, due to the period has been closed.
When account user found out that the accounting document is missing for the billing document, they have to re-open the period and manual release it to accounting, in order to generate the accounting document.
Therefore, we need the billing document to be blocked for cancellation/creation on CLOSED posting period.
Is there any settings in stardard SAP to block cancellation/creation of billing document on CLOSED posting period?
would appreciate your inputs.
Thanks and Regards,
N.C.Reddy
