Check List for closing posting period

Hi everyone,
What should be the complete check list (activity to be done) before closing the posting period in MM

Hi,
In fact when ever you complete the month you have to close the period for the previous month.This you can do at the T.code MMPV.
1)before closing the period check wheather the Back posting is allowed at SPRO-logistics general -material master-basic settings-company code settings for the financial year.
2)There will be peiod indicatotors.You have to check them.
3)unless and untill you dont close the period your inventory management settings will not allow you to furthur stating a warning message that 'posting period is in previous month'.

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.

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

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!

P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?

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

Check list for testing

Hello everyone,
I am trying to put a document together to have a check list for integration testing. does anybody have anything like this that can share? Or any tips of what steps should be taken in consideration to complete integration testing?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
1) Integration testing validate end to end business scenarios including interfaces. Use converted data (if applicable and based on the data strategy). Can be executed in multiple cycles based on the implementation strategy
2) Scenario-based testing across process areas
May include multiple t-codes, or equivalent units in a string or sequence
3) Testing across modules
4) Primarily deals with cross-application chains that directly or potentially impact each other
5) Consists mostly of positive testing with selected negative testing
6) Executed in the Quality Assurance test environment
7) Integration Testing will be performed in multiple cycles
8) Next cycle should not begin if critical discrepancies have not been dispositioned. All Integration test discrepancies must be closed by the end of the last integration test cycle
9) A discrepancy can be dispositioned if:
Retest Passes or
Workaround approved or
Alternate resolution approved

Check list for creating a cost element?

Hi,
Who can provide a check list for creating a cost element?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Cost Elements are broadly of two categories - Primary and Secondary cost elements.
In case of primary cost element a GL Account should have been created and in case of secondary cost no corresponding GL account should exist. Secondary Cost Elements are used only in Controlling Module. The transaction codes are:
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element.
KA06 - Create Secondary Cost Element.
KA02 - Change Cost Element
KA03 - Display Cost Element
KA04 - Delete Cost Element
KA05 - Display Changes
Once transaction data is posted Cost Element cannot be deleted.
Another point in Cost Elements is defining the Cost Element category. Cost Element category determines which Cost Element category can be used for which Business Purpose. For example cost element category 1 is used for primary costs and 11 is used for revenues.
In the default account assignment tab, we can define a cost center / internal order and always the postings for that cost element will be posted to that cost object.
Thanks
Murali.
