Hi,
It is very easy and understandble.
1.Posting period varient.
If you want to post any documents you need to enter some date right? That date would belongs to some posting period right?.
for Example your Fin.period is JAN to DEC. Means 01 is for Jan, 12 is for DEC, 05 for May.
So according to your requirement you have to create the variant and define what do you want.
2.Open & close posting periods
When you in operation and if you are posting a document in the month of Feb. the period Jan has been closed it will avoid the mistakes while posting to the different periods.
3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
Once you have created your company code and your posting variant. You are assign to make the link to both the level.
Warm Regards,

OPEN\CLOSE POSTING PERIOD

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a system with different company code, each company code has a posting period variant.
My question is:
Is there the possibility (by tcode 'OB52') that more users can, at the same time, open\close posting periods related to them posting period variant?
In practice, my customer asks me:
AT THE SAME TIME: - user x (company X) modifies posting periods of PPV '001' and user y (company Y) modifies posting periods of PPV '002'...
Is it possible???
thank you in advance..

Hi Jason,
Probably I may not recommend this. These are most critical activities. We do not the dependency of the tables. Meaning that the table could be linked to many other tables and fields in database. This may end up in data integrity issues.
These are not the activities that we should do on a daily basis. Normally we open and close the period on a monthly basis and open this screen for few minutes or so. I would suggest first user can go and change and then he come back and the second person may change.
Since this a very critical activity, anything wrong would impact all other modules, as the data is moving from all other modules to FI.
Therefore, I would only recommend one by one to change OB52 OR give the authority to a centralized person in order to open and close the periods.

Ravi

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

Restrict Open / Close Posting Periods for Users (OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 )

Hello everybody.
I'd like to know if there is a way to restrict that some users open posting periods in OB52 or S_ALR_87003642 and some other different users close posting periods.
Hoping you could help it, as our organization had that policy from our previous system,
Best regards,
Elvis E. Henriquez A.

Hi
Sorry, but I do not think that's possible in SAP Standard.
OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 are build around a maintenance view for table T001B. This mean that the access primarily are controlled by the S_TABU_DIS (and S_TABU_LIN) object, and with these object's you can control access to maintain / display only, you can not control the values of the input data.
I think that you will need to create your own application and authorization object in order to achieve your requirement.

PCA Manual Posting - Open/close posting periods

All,
Is there a way you can open or close PCA posting periods? The FI posting period control does not control the PCA manual posting. We need however to do this. Is there a way to do it. I know I can create a validation. But is there any other way?
Regards,

Hello,
here is the one and only correct answer for your question:
Unfortunately, there is no possibility to lock periods / posting
transactions in PCA (including distributions).
There are only two possibilities to prevent postings to profit centers:
1. is to completely lock them in the master data via transaction KE52 (tab 'Indicators' -> activate 'Lock indicator'. Please read also the F1-help here for the field 'Lock indicator')
2. to lock one complete fiscal year in the entire Profit-Center
Accounting via transaction 1KEF.
One important reason is that PCA receives its postings from preliminary applications like MM, CO, FI. Therefore, postings can only be locked in those applications (like in FI via TN OB52 or in CO via TN OKP1 or FI-SL via GCP1), but not directly in PCA.
Excpetions from that are described in the SAP notes 436384 and´836218 for manual postings made with transactions 1KEL and 9KE0. With the coding corrections of the both notes a period lock is possible for these two transactions.
It is not planned to have a general functionality of period locks in Profitcenter Accounting. PCA should be always open for postings. It is designed to be the receiving application of data delivered by the preliminary applications. Therefore period locks must be handled / maintained also in those applications.
Best regards,
Andreas

How to set up open&close posting period to process year-end at April

Hi FICO GURUs,
I m a new student in FICO, here i have a question as following, ask for help,
For the open period. If we need to clearing till April, how do we do for that? How to set up in open and close posting period?
Any responses will be awarded.
Thanks a lot!
Samson

In OB52 you need to manage open periods related to FI. Any periods which are not managed here implies those periods are closed
Ex: From Period Year To Period Year
04 2008 04 20008
This means 4th Period of 2008 is open and all other periods are closed.
Also you can open and close period seperately for General Ledger and Subledgers
Types A,D,K,M are subledgers and S type is for ledger.
There will be seperate open and close periods for FI,MM and CO modules
FI- OB52
CO-OKP1
MM- MMPV

Question about FMIR - open close fm periods

A simple question:
In the fmir transaction (to open and close fm posting periods), if the "From" column for a particular year is blank (not zero, but BLANK), and the "To" column has 12, then will the whole year be open? Or does the "From" column have to have a 1 or 0?
Please respond.
Thanks.
A

Hi,
As you told, when FROM is blank it means -- "First Posting Period Allowed (in Interval 1)" , check F1 Help, so real open period is 1 to 12 .
I hope this clarification help to you understanding,

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.

Edited by: r prasad on Apr 7, 2008 10:51 AM

Hi
This can be done with a single line of code added at copy control level. We have done earlier(long ago). I could not remember exactly the code, what we have written.
But you can try as follows:
tcode: VTFF(Copy control)
In existing routine, at the bottom, add a line for "fkdat = reference document fkdat".
Ask your abaper to write correct structure & field.
Also note that, corresponding FI period should open to post this document.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you
