Can I change posting period variant after go live?

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to change posting period variant after postings are done in the system? We are now having the same posting period variant for all company codes but I want to split it and have separate, one per company code. Is that possible now?
Best regards Lisa

Hi,
Yes, it should be no problem if the fiscal year remains the same.
Regards,
Eli

  • Restrict Access in OB52 by Posting Period Variant

    Hello,
    In our company there are many posting period variants. We want to restrict the access for opening and closing posting periods in OB52 by Posting period variant. i.e. User can open/close for a specific posting period variant and not all.
    On searching on this forum, i found some solutions saying that one can create Screen variants according to Posting period Variant but i am not very clear on it.
    It would be very helpful, if someone can provide detailed solution for this scenario; or share one's experience on this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ankur

    Inside OB52, the last column on the right is titled AuGr. Expanded, that stands for Authorization Group. Hit <F1> after keeping the cursor in that field and read what SAP has to say about that field.
    That is the answer to what you need - a posting period can be made available to only a limited set of users using the Authorization Group. You'll need to enlist the help of your resident BASIS team members for putting this into use.
    Remember to assign points if found useful.

  • FI posting period variant restricted in OB52

    Hi,
    First all of you have HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.
    My problem is i have multiple posting period variant (Multiple company code wise), i want to restrict posting peirod variant in OB52 i.e. one posting period variant for one company code to be open / close only by concerned user of that company code.
    pls. advice asap.
    regards,
    mahesh

    Hi
    You have multiple posting period variants (multiple company code wise).
    After the creation of posting period variant in OBBO you will assign the posting period variant to Company code in OBBP.Once you assign one posting period variant to company code , the posting period is restricted to that company code only.
    use Authorization groups if you want to restrict the posting periods to the users.
    suppose that authorization group for user A is A.
    Go to OB52 -
    >Open/Close posting periods.
    Variant(posting period variant) , Account type , From Period1(6) , Year(2008) , To Period1(6) , Year(2008) , From Period2(7) , Year(2008) , To Period(7) , Authorization Group(A)
    This means that periods 6 and 7 are accessible to Authorization group A and Period 7 is accessible to rest of the authorization groups.
    This will solve your issue.

  • 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

  • KP26_intergration with excel Plan Activity can only change some period

    Dear Expert,
    We use kp26 intergrate with excel, when uploading Plan Activity can only change some period. (Uploading is successful)
    So, we've used same Layout and change data in KP26 directly for testing.
    (Only period 1,2,11 in 2010 can be changed, other periods remind the same)
    Second testing, we've change data in period 3-10 & 12, and it showed the following message.
    ***No planning data has been changed
    Message no. K8038
    Diagnosis
    You used Post. While preparing the data for posting, the SAP System determined that no changes were made in the available databank values.
    System Response
    A posting activity price is not necessary.***
    It's quite doggy. Plz help.
    Thanks

    Hi
    How about using an LSMW? I always prefer to use it and find it very comfortable as compared to Excel

  • 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

  • How to change posting period for a company code

    Hi Gurus,
    In MIGO while doing goods receipt i get this error " Posting only possible in periods 2006/05 and 2006/04 in company code 3000"
    How to change the posting period.
    I have serched in SDN, i tried transaction MMPV, and OB52 but i am not able to change as i dont know the basics of the screen as i am ABAPER.
    Can u tell me how to change. or give sme link with some snapshots.
    Thanks

    hi
    I think you need to check your fiscal year varian before you do the MMPV. Fiscal year is set up by the FI consultant and it is deciding in which fiscal year period your current month belongs to.(Transaction -OB29)
    Ex:
    if you use K4 fiscal year variant then this october month is treated as 2010-07 period. Because the fiscal year starts from April and 2010 fiscal year starts from 2009 april.
    Calendar Year                 Fiscal year
    2009 april                =       2010 - 01
    2009 may                =       2010 - 02
    2009 Oct                 =       2010 - 07
    So first get the fiscal year and period accurately (I suggest get it from your FI guy) and put it in the MMPV
    If you accidentally close a wrong period dont forget to follow these notes too.

  • Change Posting Period in already posted document

    Hi,
    I wanted to check is there any process where we can change the posting period of already posted documents. The external system unfortunately sent the documents in special periods 13, but it has to be 12. Now our client wants to change the posting period to 12.
    Can anyone of you suggest a suitable way in going forward.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi,
    It is not possile to change the posting period in a posted document, alternatively you can park the document form the external system and it can be posted in SAP after review by the user.

    Dear Sadhu,
                      Sorry still i am not satisfied with your answer.As you hav told to go through the TC OVBI, there i found it is no where or little related to Horizon period of Credit management of SD module. In OVBI it is meant for "Maintain Billing plan type for Period Billing". Yes there is a combo box called "HORIZON", but i believe the purpose of this Horizon is diffrentthan the "Horizon period in SD Credit management. Pls correct me and explain me how it is related if i am wrong. Hope you'll do so.Thanks for yr valuable reply.Kartik...
