Change the posting period

Hi Gurus,
Can any one help me with changing the posting period of the company which is by mistake take as 12/2009 and i want to change it to 08/2008. I ahve already done some material movement in this and the system is not letting me change it in OMSY. Can i use MMPV to close this period and the use MMPI to open the new period as 08/2008. As this will be in past if compared to the current period in system, will there be any problems??
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

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.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.
If there has already been postings after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.
Steps are as below;
Go to Transaction Code SE38
Enter program name RMMMINIT
Execute or press F8 function button
Enter your company code (From and To)
Enter relevant date: Say 01/03/2008 for Mar. 2008 month to be opened as of now
That means, user can post for the month of Feb 2008 as well as Mar. 2008
Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.
As per SAP Notes 487381 ( If the periods are opened in advance in mmpv to again change it to current period the following process should be follow ), Go to Tcode MMPI, then go to menu bar and select system -> user profile->owndata.In that screen , under the parameters tab enter MMPI_READ_NOTE in Parameter ID field and enter, then under short description you will get Initialise period. Next Save.
Again go to MMPI enter company code, period and year and execute.

Other way of doing it is follow these steps( But try this method in Sand box Only):
1. Go to OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. Go to OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.Go to OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.

I want to change the posting period

I want to change the posting period for closed period. how can to do?. My period 2010 is in period but I want periods in months. who can I help me?

Hi Mary.......
One you created you can not change the type of periods of Posting Period.
This is SAP Standard that once you created you can not change it.
But if you have not done transactions for that period then you can remove and recreate with the period type as 12 Months...

If you want to open previous period for reversal entry or additional entry
The following are steps for Opening previous period in MM :
1. Go to TCode SU01 (see OSS NOTES 487381)
2. Choose "change" tab with your loging Name
3. Choose "Parameter" tab
give Parameters MMPI_READ_NOTE with date format as YYYYMMDD
(say today 20071201)
4. SAVE.
5. Go to T-code MMPI
6. open the old periods which you want to post into,
Note :
the period opening will be valid for only for the particular day only.
7. Complete the posting you want to reverse or add
8. Go to MMPV to close the periods.
These steps first do it dev or quality then proceed furthere .

Problems with the posting period....

Hi guys,
every once in a while the old problem with the posting periods occurs. This morning it hit me and I went out to repair it.
Starting out from MMRV I checked the open period and it said 062009.
Using MMPV, by mistake, I opened 112009, so that I'm able to post to 112009 PLUS the previous period 102009 (which is ok so far). Later on I checked OB52 to see, if finance is not the problem. The opened period lasts from 012009 to 122009.
Long story short: everything seems perfectly alright, however it still doesn't work. It says: Posting only possible in periods 2009/11 and 2009/10 in company code 1000
I don't see where there could be a problem now...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thx & regards,
Bobby

SEM-BCS Changing of posting periods

Hi:
In the Consolidation Monitor, by going to 'edit' function, we can open and close the posting periods.
I have the following questions:
a) How far we can go to open the posting periods? Say if you are in pp '7', can you open period '5' and post a manual data entry?
b) If we make any corrections in the previous period, how does the system correct the cumulative figure in the consecutive periods?
The above are important questions for the client and let me know your comments.
Thanks.
Virgo

Hi Virgo,
I usually have the posting period as a parameter at the top of my WB or monitor screen. I may just retype ANY OTHER PP and hit ENTER in order to enter there.
Staying in ANY previous period I may do ANY tasks available in that period, i.e. manual entries, additional data input (with cumulative data corrections).
But remember, if you changed something in a previous period, you MUST RERUN all the tasks in this and all consecutive periods!!! Manually!
The system doesn't do it automatically.
In my practice, almost all eliminating tasks/documents are to be reversed in the next period. It means that any I/U elims task run will effect the next period.
So, be very carefully. SAP doesn't recommend to execute some separate task in previous periods. You may just broke the consistency of all consolidation.
Hope this helps.

Unable to create a billing document , have to change the posting date

Dear All,
                  I have performed the following steps:
                 1. I have created Customer
                 2. Created a material.
                 3. Linked the customer to the material
                 4. Post initial stock for the material.
                 5. Create a Sales/Order.
                 6. Displayed the sales order and recorded the scheduled delivery date.
                 7. Created the delivery for the sales order.
                 8. Transfer the stock from the warehouse management
                 9. And update the order.
While updating the order I selected post goods issue and it would not go ahead because the posting date is not there in the posting period. Where do I change the posting date. I could not find it anywhere. I did not enter the date anywhere.
Thank you,
Sandhya

Hello Sandhya
Here is how MMPV works.
Lets say I am at the end of the May month 05.31.2009 so lets say period corrresponding to this is 05/2009.
Now if you want to post data in June perios 06/2009 should be opened.
Here is what I will do in MMPV
Enter my company code
Instead of using periods I will use date which will be 06/01/2009 (mm/dd/yy format in my example)
Check radio button check and close period
Click on remaining checkboxes.
Execute
The effect of this will be that the previous periods will be closed and June will be opened.
In your case since no one has opened periods after 2006 so may be you will have to repeat this step for each month until you reach current period if that is the one in which you want to post goods issue.
Thanks
Vikas

Previous Year entries after defining the posting period

Dear Experts,
I have defined the posting period with the new period indicators. I have also defined the new numbering series for the current year and assigned the period indicator for the current year to the documents.

Can I change the posting date in CO13 to cancel a confirmation?

Hi all
I'd like to know how can I change the posting date using CO13.
So I have a confirmation in date 30/6 for exemple, but I'd like to cancel it in posting date 1/7, but the systems takes the date of the original confirmation. Can I change it any way?
Thanks in advance
Points will be given

Dear Roger,
this is only possible in case if the bookin periode is closed. In this case it's allowed to change the booking date in CO13 and the date field gets automatically inputable, normaly it's greyed out.
As long as the booking periode is open, the system automatically use the date from confirmation.
Hope this help.

How to change the Validility period of the cost element

Hi All,
how to change the validity period of the cost element. In tranc code Ka02 only the text is allowed to change but i want to change the validity period of the cost element.
best Regards
stephen

Hi All,
Thanks for your response...........
My concern is, i have a document posted to 43100 GL Expense acct, which is also defined as cost element, GL field status G004(cost accts). But when the original document is posted no is no assignment of any cost object.
But i have to reverse the document and when i use FB08, the reversal is popping up with error " Assignment of CO object is neccesaary " Assign the cost center.
Is there any way we can update the cost center for posted docuemnt? if so how? and can i make the cost element invalid for previous month so that it will not ask for cost object and change the field status of the GL from g004 to G001 only for reversal and set it back after posting is done.
Appreciate ur feedback and suitab;le points are rewarded with points.

Changing the Current Period to last month

Hello,
I am trying to change the Current period to last month so I will be able to
re-enter a material update document from 31.12.2006
Can anyone tell me where do I change the Current posting period ?
-Mark

Hello Mark,
You can open / Initialize previous period with MMPI transaction, however, using this T-code please go through <b>OSS note 487381</b>, the main contents as as follow:
Before you start period closing with initialization, you must be aware of the consequences of period closing with initialization.This note describes the possible data inconsistencies that might occur if you carry out the initialization in a productive system.The resulting inconsistencies are not to be traced back to a system error but they are a result of the period closing program with initialization
The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period will be deleted.
Hope this helps.

Restrict the posting period opening and closing for some users

Dear SAP gurus,
I want to restrict some users to open the posting period and for some users close posting periods. I knew that these can be done through authorization group. Pls explain how to create authorization groups and how to use those? Anybody can help me out?
Regards,
Venkata Reddy

Dear Venkatareddy,
There are two sets of period in OB52. The first set of "From" and "To" is for the authorised group and second set is for the non authorised group. In the "Authorisation Group" (last column) give some 4 charecters name. Say "FICO".
Now ask the basis to attach the object "FICO" for the users who are authorised say user1, user 2 and user3.
Now in the first set of period you can maintain say 1 2008 to 16 2008 and in the second set 1 2008 to 1 2008.
So except user1,2 and 3, all the others can post only in 1 2008. Whereas users 1,2 and3 can post in all the periods of 2008.
Assign points if useful
regards
Venkatesh
