Profit Center-wise authorization for posting period

Hi
I have two profit centers - 1000 and 2000 under company code A001. Now management requires that posting in different must be restricted separately. For ex: Profit center 1000 needs more time for closing. Hence Profit Center 2000 must be closed in OB52 even though Profit center 1000 is opened.
Posting period variant assigned to company code: A001 is 1100.
Now in OB52, i gave
Variant:1100
Account type: +
GL Accounts: 1000000 (from account) 99999999 (to account)
From period 1/2011 to 2/2011
Authorization group: 1000
But how to link (add / remove) user id to that authorization group. Please help

Hello,
I'm using new GL and i've activated the Profit Center cenarios. However, the profit centers filled at the GL items aren't transferred for the FAGLFLEXA / FAGLFLEXT tables.
Do you know why isn't the FAGLFLEXA / FAGLFLEXT filled?
Additionally i'm using the transaction F.5D and 1KEK to transfer information at the GL items for the GLPCA / GLPCT tables. Why aren't this information transferred online?

Data column (for posting period) converted to COMPARISON COLUMN

Hi all,
I use 'posting period'(derived from fiscal period/year) in the data column and assigned CHAR-posting period to a variable (the value is 1.2.3....12) in the planning level.
When I execute my layout, I got an error message: Data column 2 will be converted into a comparison column.
Diagnosis:
You have entered variable ZFIU004 in data column 2 and provided it with an offset. This results in values arising for variable ZFIU004, which are no longer within the selection, which was defined for the variable.
Can someone please advise me?

Hi,
What is the selection maintained for posting period on the level.

Posting period authorization for previous period for specific users

Hi Experts,
In our company we want to restrict normal users to present period only. (in FI).
we are having now two user groups core and normal. for core group both periods should be open. for normal users only have access for current period.
Please suggest how to achieve this requirement in FI.
Regards,
Vara
Moderator: Use authorizations groups in OB52. Please, search before posting

Hello,
You need to create a single role with whatever transactions you would like the users to proceed.
When you assign the users in the role, you assign for the period you would like. Once that period is over, no use is able to transact with those transaction codes.
Whenever, you make the changes to users in role, you need to do the user comparison, then only the profile get generated in the user masters.
Please discuss this with your security team with your requirement.

Planned depreciation not showing for posting period

hi,
I have query for planned depreciation.
my company code is having following setting.
1. check "dep to the day" is there.
2. in Fiscal year Variant for the period 7 & 8 the setting is as below.
month day period
8 1 7
8 29 8
so the planned depreciation is not showing in period 8, in period 7 it is showing double (for period 7 & 8). this is the same for posted depreciation also.
please suggest if any setting available for the same.
Thanks,

Why do you have your both periods 7 & 8 setting in the same month 8 ??
Every period and month should be exclusive and look something like this > http://www.saptechies.com/userfiles/Define-Business-Area-5.jpg

AFAB dynamic variant creation for Posting period.

HI,
Business Requirement :
Business want to run AFAB transaction code every month automatically with schedule job.
system should pick present month period in posting period field.
i checked in variant creation against posting period there is no dynamic " D " in selection variable column.
how can i fix this.

Hi Jani,
Check with abaper if TVARV table can Help you in this case, or create a z program from AFAB. And add date field to it, and schedule job based on that,
I think TVARV table will be a better approach.
Another point to consider here would be that dep should be run once business is ready to do so, and has its own hick ups in business if corrections are required to be made after executing AFAB by job

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.

Kavitha

FI Posting Period

Dear Experts,
Can any one suggest me the way to maintain authorization group in such a way that i can close the Financial period for all my sites accept the head office and certain users can post the entries but no one else can make the entry for that date from head office.
Hoping for an early response.
thanks in advance.
Rahul

Hi
The authorization object F_BKPF_BUP (accounting document: Authorization for posting periods) from posting in periods which are only open for time period 1.
How this can be used is, usually you have Senior Accountants and Managers. If your manager needs to open the previous month book to post some rectification entries, in this case the Senior accountants also allowed to use the previous posting period if there is no authorization object is assigned particularly.
But by assigning the above said authorization object to Senior Accountants, he is authorized only for the periods which is mentioned in that Period 1 coloumn and the Period 2 will be locked to him, any changes for the previous periods, special periods all will be available only to the persons who is not restricted.
Hope it Clears.
thanks and regards

Open and Close Posting Periods
In this activity, you can specify which periods are open for posting for each variant. You have two time intervals (time period 1 and time period 2). In each interval, specify a period lower limit, a period upper limit, and the fiscal year.
You close a period by selecting the period specifications so that the period to be closed does not fall within them.
You can also assign authorization groups for permitted posting periods. This means that in month-end or year-end closing for example, you can open some posting periods for specific users only. The authorization group only has an effect on time period 1. The authorization object is F_BKPF_BUP (Accounting document: Authorizations for posting periods). For more information about assigning authorizations, see the corresponding section for User Maintenance.
Note
Specify G/L account numbers for your specifications. You define the permitted posting periods for the subledger accounting accounts using the relevant reconciliation accounts. To do this, specify the account type for the subledger accounting, such as D or K, and the relevant reconciliation account.
Caution
There must be a minimum entry for each variant. This entry must have + in column K, and the columns From Account and To Account must not contain entries. In the columns for the posting periods, specify the periods you want to always be open in this variant. With further entries, you define more specifically which periods are to be open for which accounts.
Activities
1. Specify the periods permitted for posting.
2. First enter the periods permitted for posting for all variants (minimum entry).
3. Then add entries for account types or account areas if the periods are to be further restricted for specific accounts.
4. In addition, enter an authorization group for each time period 1 in order to limit user access.

Variable Exit for YTD using posting period

Hi Friends,
I need to calculate the YTD amount per user entry, i.e., when user enters the posting period value as 5 the Actual value should calculate the amount for posting period 5 and Actual YTD value should calculate the amount from Period 1 - 5.
I'm getting the same amount as period 1 for YTD as well....I created a two variables for YTD , one is with single value optional with default value as 1 not ready for input and another variable as customer exit with single value. In the exit I'm reading the user entry value as my 2nd variable value. Then I'm using these two variables as range in RKF with key figure and value type.... i.e,
WHEN 'ZTEST'.
data:      zper     TYPE t009b-poper
    if I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO ZPER WITH KEY VNAM = '0P_PER3'. " this is the mandatory user entry for Actual value
     l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
     l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
     l_s_range-low   = zper.
      append l_s_range to e_t_range.
ENDIF.
Thanks
sam

I used the range and when I use RSRT to test the query , I'm getting the exact variable values in the result example if I give the input as year = 2010 and Posting period = 3 - 6
I'm getting the variale values for input as 3-6 and variable values for Actual YTD as 1-6 but the Actual YTD value is showing the same value as Actual.
I have the cost element heirarcy as the row item. I'm not sure If we are allowed to use heirarchies in the rows when we are using the above logic for YTD? Also when I drill down by posting period I could see all the values in Actual YTD but when I removed drill down it is only showing the value for 3-6 just as Actual....Please advice
My Key figure in the RKF is a cumulated balance...Does it causes the YTD values and Actual values same?
Example result below for Period input 10:
Posting period Actual        Actual YTD
1xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     210,587,416 USD
2xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     172,717,190 USD
3xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     178,563,365 USD
4xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     160,894,981 USD
5xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     145,730,654 USD
6xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     109,796,716 USD
7xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     108,377,441 USD
8xxxxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxxxx     95,732,276 USD
9xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx     88,925,649 USD
10xxxxxxxxx     107,755,724      107,755,724 USD
Overall Result     107,755,724      107,755,724 USD

HI All,
When we execute T.code F.2E the selection parameters available are

3. open at key date
4. display currency.
As the program documentation says we can reconcilie by selecting option for posting period in F.2E
Below is the SAP documentation on the program.
You use the Posting period selection option to specify the time period in which the posting dates of the documents need to fall in order to be included by the program. Open items, cleared items, and payment documents are all selected. See the section Parameter Open for key date and Selection Option Posting period for further information. If you want to start the program with this date selection, the option must be selected accordingly.
But the field for posting period is not available in selection parmeter, we are on 4.7 EE version.
Please let me know how to activate the option for posting period in selection parameters for T.code F.2E
Thanks in advace.
