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.

MR21 - no accounting doc. for the current period

Hi,
we are facing the following problem.
Each month, our accounting team is doing the price change through MR21. They are posting it to the last day of a previous period. Each month there are two accounting documents - one posted to the last day of the previous period and one to the first day of a new period.
As I understand this is a standard behaviour since the tick in OMRN is missing. (It was not ticked for previous few years).
However this month, there was no accounting document for the current period.
We have patched SAP_APPL in the time between these two activities.
I have checked that MM period was changed several days before they have done MR21. There were many material movements (sales) concerning the affected material masters. Materials are priced by the standard price.
I have tried to check OMRN for the affected company code and do the MR21 with no results - as it does not effect MR21 whether it is checked or not.
I havent found any note for this so far.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
If the issue occurred after upgrade, you may check for SAP notes or raise an OSS ticket to SAP.

How to get the calendar days of last month in SAP HR Schema?

Hi all,
I have a question about the calendar days of last month, cause the customer calculated the salary not by natural month but cross-month, for example,
for calculating salary of Aug, the time period may be 7.28-8.27, so I need the days of this period which is the calendar days of last month exactly.
But I only knew GKSOLL was used for getting the calendar days of current month.
If any place wrong, please guide me.
Look forward to getting experts' help, thanks.
Regards,
May.

Hi Sankarsan,
Thank you so much for your help.
The requirement I have described in detail when replying Viverk, you can take it as a reference.
Cause my customer don't want to use retro in SAP system, so I noted the schema about retro.
Now my question was how to get the last month calendar days in Schema. For example, now I am calculating the salary of July, the full attendance will be 30 days(06.28-07.27), in rule GKSOLL will get 31 days, so it's not right.
I hope you can get my point, below is the wrong rule.
Please guide me to correct it, thanks.
Regards,
May.

Trying to pay my bill, could you use the same information from last month

Trying to pay my bill online, It keep saying wrong cvv, could you just use the same information from last month to pay bill? Haven't anything changed.

Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.

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.
Anoop

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.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
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.

Planned Orders Are Being Created In The Future Period (About Six Months onw

Dear All,
We are facing a problem that when we execute the product heuristics for a particular location - item, planned orders are not getting generated as per the demand element in the current period but they are getting generated in future period say six months from now... We could NOT understand that Why the system is pushing the orders in future period. We have checked the following parameters :
Calendar is active for the period upto DEC"2012.
Time Streams have been genereted for the particular resource.
Resource(s) do exist in Live Cache.
Sufficient capapcity is available in the current period (as viewed from the resource planning table).
Please advise that what other parameters should be checked in order to get the planned orders in current period. In this regard, we shall like to confirm that we are facing this issue since last 8 - 10 days, earlier, there was NOT such an issue.
With Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Hi Sanjeev,
Did you maintain any value for planning time fence, and if yes, how big is it? This could be one possible reason why system is not able to plan the orders (also depends on what Heuristics you are using).
In RRP3, double click on your planned orders and check out the start date and the end date. Is your start date also lying in the future, or is it that due to long time in your operations (somehow your PDS/PPMs got messed up?), orders availability got pushed to the future.
I am not an expert in PPDS, but I can only think of different lead times coming into picture which could possibly push your planned orders availability to the future.
See if this helps.
Thanks - Pawan

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...

You can only open the last period via using the MMPI..using indicator allow back posting...
Other than this you can open pervious periods for sandbox techniques. as well ....but SAP don't recommend it...

Should OKP1 being all closed and only be opened for the current period ?

Guyz,
In OB52 (Financial closing period) , only "open period" being input on it. So, basically the closing period in OB52 is by opening the period provided to be posting.
Then how about OKP1?
It's provided to lock the actual period , actual transactions, or to lock the plan period or plan transactions..but the question is:
a. Should it be all closed (ticked mark all transactions & all periods) except for the current period that is provided to be posting as period determined in OB52...For example, it is now June, then all periods & transactions other than June is being ticked mark.
OR
b. Should it be all opened except for the period that is being closed? For example, it is now June, so periods & transactions of period January to May are being ticked mark (closed).
Which of the options is the best practice?
Need your answers asap plz.... Thanking you ..

Hello,
For example in OB52, if you have opened for June, i.e.,
06 of 2009 to 06 of 2009 (1st Period)
In such case,
In OKP1, you need to only untick June for all the months and close all remaining months (Untick June and tick all other months and transactions).
Note that your planning activities for all the year must have been completed. Otherwise, you cannot enter the plan values.

Ravi

Get the Current Period

Hi!
I need to know from SDK the current period used in the company.
I know that:
In all SAP Business One releases up to 2005 A SP1 there is a 'current' period setting that indicates the period enabled for data entry and posting.
Only one period can be set as the current period. Beginning with Release 2007 A, all periods will be enabled and the 'current' period setting will no longer be used. When the add-on attempts to read a value from the 'Company.CurrentPeriod', instead of the value period value, it will receive the numeric value '-1'.
What alternative can I use?

Hi All,
So, B1 period is determined by automatically, based on posting date. But if you use several numbering series for the same document, you can set up different series for different posting periods using period indicator.
Ex:
year - 2009 Period Indicatior - 2009
year - 2010 Period Indicatior - 2010
Numbering series:
for series in 2009 - Indicatior is set to 2009
for series in 2010 - Indicatior is set to 2010
If you open the A/R Invoice form, you will see series belongs to Period indicator 2010. if you change the posting date to 2009.12.01, you will see the series on the form belongs to Period indicator 2009.
If we change the example
Ex:
year - 2009 Period Indicatior - 2009
year - 2010 Period Indicatior - 2009
Numbering series:
for series in 2009 - Indicatior is set to 2009
for series in 2010 - Indicatior is set to 2009
IN this case on the form you can select each series (belongs to 2009 and 2010).
This means: series displayed and selected automatically based on posting date and period indicator. (by this you can set up different numbering series by periods - Period indication of posting periods cas be change until the first booking!)
SAP B1 is automatically set the numbering series of a document by posting date which is simiral to the following query (A/R Invoice object type = 13)
select T1.* from ofpr T0 inner join NNM1 T1 on T0.Indicator = T1.Indicator
where convert(datetime,getdate(),112) between T0.F_RefDate and T0.T_RefDate and T1.Locked ='N' and T1.ObjectCode = '13'

How to Change the Validity period

Hi All,
Could any one please explain how to change the validity period of SAP as when i am trying to post the PO with a delivery date in year 2011 it is not allowing me more than 2010 year. When i checked in Calender Maintenance the last entry in it is 2010. When i am trying to change the validity of the Indian settings it is not allowing me to change the year from 2010 to 2012 or any other.
regards
PSNG

Hi,
Just check "FOPC_CONSIST_CHECK" T-Code .
Acthually this is for "Consistency Check on Validity Period"
I am not very sure weather change option is there or not.
Thanks
