Closing a posting period - by saving documents in FBCJ

Dear Experts,
We have an option to SAVE documents in Cash journal (FBCJ) - (Yellow Trafic Button).
My question is --- "Can we close a posting period without posting (Green light) the Saved Cash journal Transactions?
Dasu

Hi Dasu,
You can close your posting period even if the FBCJ document is only saved. Saving in FBCJ means that FI is not impacted but the canh in hand amount is increased or decreased by said amount.
The is no issues to close posting period.

BADIACREV in Closed FI Posting Period

Will this function module work to reverse a document in a posting period that is closed in t-code OB52? I am a functional person being asked to test out functionality to automatically reverse a document after it initially posts.

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.

Scheduling opening and closing FI posting periods

Hi,
Could you please let me know if there is any program to schdule the opening and closing of FI posting periods, rather than doing it manually every month end.
Thanks
Uma

Hi,
I was at a customer who had multiple company codes and they had the business requirement of closing differenet types of accounts on different dates. For this I had got a program developed wherein the users had to mention the closing date and the account number. This program would run every day and if the current date is eqaul to the closing date in the program, system would execute transaction OB52 and close the corresponding account.

Open and Closing of Posting Periods in FI

Is it possible to open/close periods in FI per account? I'm using SAP ECC 6.0
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi,
Yes, you can use authorization group: "A posting period can be made available to only a limited set of users using the authorization group"
You assign the authorization group in GL master.
Assign authorization object F_BKPF_BUP to user ids.

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.

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

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'.

Documents posted wrong posting periods

hi,
we are using sap 4.7e version.our fiscal year is april to march.we posted 7 billing documents on 01.03.2007 .but 6 accounting documents posted to 13 th period.one document posted to 12 th period. we are unable to identify the problem how it happend .all posting and document dates are on 01.03.2007. could any body give solution to this probelm.

Hi Naga,
Normally the system always takes the posting period based on posting date.
You can enter in the special periods only by actually selecting the posting date of last posting period and manually selecting the posting period as the special period of 13-16.
There could be two possibilities for the issues:
Someone must have manually changed the posting period in billing document header (field VBRK-POPER) to 13 while the posting date is 1.3.07.
OR
Based on certain parameters, a user exit is triggered to change the posting period to a special period 13.
You can reach me at [email protected]

Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

Dear Experts,
My client wants to close the posting period of the previous month.
First I went to transaction OB52 to define an entry From Per. 1 2008 To Per. 12 2009 to open all the posting period for the year. But when the time passes, do I have to manually change the From Per. back to the current month (e.g From Per.1 2008 changed to From Per. 2 2008 and so on)
If this is the case, is there any way to make this a automatic function to do this.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks.

Hi,
You define posting periods in your fiscal year variants. You can open and close these posting periods for posting. As many periods as you require can be open for posting simultaneously. Special periods can be open for closing postings during the period-end closing.
You have the following options for opening and closing posting periods:
- Posting Period Variants: You can specify which company codes are open for posting in a posting period variant. Posting period variants are cross-company code and you have to assign them to your company codes.
- Account Type: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account type. This means that for a specific posting period, postings can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts.
- Account Interval: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account intervals. This means that you only open a posting period for posting to a specific account.
Path for making the settings for opening and closing posting periods:
Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Posting Periods
For detailed example for opening and closing posting periods please refer the link below:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/96/8b300943ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

Cutover - Posting Period

2007B
Need to upload open AR/AP Invoices( Service type) to post BP opening balances.
There are open invoices from the year- 2003, 2005 , etc. This is considered as the posting date as the exchange rate conversions need to be of that date (exchange rate convrsions are based on posting rate)
Should we create posting periods for those years to upload the open invoices of those date ranges?
Is that recommended? if not what should be done?

Hi Kerstin,
Thanks for the clarity.
In India, the financial year starts from APR 01 and ends MAR 31 ( current Financial year 01-APR- 08 to 31- MAR- 09)
We here have posting periods for every month (total of 12 posting periods)
I can bring the closing balances of 31-MAR-08 (last financial year closing date) as the opening balance for the current financial year APR 01.
Upload all the current financial year AR/AP invoices from APR 01 (will keep all the previous month posting period open and upload all the open documents)
My current Posting period is of NOV month.
My questions:
In this case, If I close the posting period from APR to OCT one by one( 7 posting periods ) after uploading the open documents, the period closing journal entries will be created. Will this have any issues? Is there any better way to do it?
whats are the implications of closing a posting period ?

Re-open the Previous posting period

hi...
we have closed the posting period for the month of 01-02(april-may) and open the 03-04(june-july)...
but now we want to open the previous posting period i.e. 01-02(april-may) again...so how could we do this..
one solution i have got is that...
1. go to OX18 delete all the assignment for that company code and plant.
2. go to OMSY and change the posting period..
3. go to OX18 and reassign the plant and company code again...
this is the right method to do that..?
will there be any -ive implications if I open the previous period by this procedure..?
or suggest me some other way to do that...
Thanks in advance

Hi
You can open Closed MM periods but be careful because SAP does recommend opening closed MM periods.
Steps are :
1) Tcode MMPI --from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field.
Try to remove assignment of plants from company code.
Now Go to -
T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.
Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct preriod is open thru T-Code - MMRV
Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.
Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (or any other Material Type used by your company)
Then click on the quantity and value update.
Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update
Even check this link...Reopening the posting period that was closed
This will definitely reslove your problem.
Thanking you.

Posting periods in material management

hi mm gurus,
i m fico guy, i need some help form ur side. the t.c. MMPV is closing the posting periods in MM is it right, then what is OMSY? as per as my knowledge in MM we have a chance to open only 2 periods, in OMSY the periods belogs open periods? or closed Perids?
my question in OMSY the periods belongs open or closed?
can u explain please.
thanqu

The T code OMSY is for Activating Material Management against a Company code.
Maintain the Material Master company code in OMSY.
This is done when you want :
1. To create a material master record, the control record must exist for the company code for which you want to create your master record.
2. To set up a company code, enter the current period here.
3. When changing the Allow backposting or Disallow backposting indicators
You can also use MMRV to set the Allow/Disallowed backposting indicators.
The current and previous period is shown on both transaction codes.
As MMPV is only Used for Opening / Closing MM Periods.
There are a number of activities that are managed by period in the materials ledger including: certain stock totals valuations, price units, goods movements, etc.
MMPV executes program RMMMPERI to close the current period and open the new one.

Problem with posting vendor invoice (MRHR) due to posting period

Hello,
Good day.
Recently, due to the closing of posting period 12 2006, a new posting period was created for 2006 to reconcile some unproccessed posting for that year. This posting period 13 2006 was created in FI (OB52).
Unfortunatley, even though posting period 13 2006 is available. When creating a vendor invoice (MRHR) with reference to PO, specifying the posting perio 13 2006 would create an error message
<b>"Allowed posting periods: 01 2007 / 12 2006 / 12 2006"</b>
I debuged the program and tracked down the source in the table MARV, which seesm to be maintained in the transaction code OMSY.
However, when I tried to change the data for the company code a message would apperar
<b>"The company code <ccode> can no longer be initialized"</b>
I also tried tcode MMRV and allowed posting to previous period, but that didnt work.
What actions do you guys suggest so that the Vendor Invoice/Invoice Verification can be posted in period 13? Thanks and good day.

Thanks very much, i'll check it when my internet is stable. Unfortunatley the earthquake in Taiwan messed up our internet
Award points once I see it!
If there are any other tips that may prove useful please feel free to post them.

PGI error related to Posting Period issue

While delivering, when I do the PGI, it is not allowing ...it says "Posting only possible in periods 2009/02 and 2009/01 in company code 0430"... I closed earler posting periods using Tcode MMPV and opened the current period and fiscal in SPRO IMG. But still PGI is not allowed ...it still says "Posting only possible in periods 2009/07 and 2009/06 in company code 0430". Apart from closing earlier posting periods using MMPV and opening current fiscal in SPRO IMG, what else I need to do to overcome this PGI issue ?

Hello,
Please compare the posting periods from MMPV and MMRV
The posting period for your company in MMRV will show the exact postings periods for your company.
If this posting periods are not at par to MMPV you have to maintain it.

Clearing through F.13 in special posting period 13

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to clear the transactions through F.13 with special posting period 13. The message shows F502 : "Posting period 012 2008 is not open".
Our Financial year is : 2008 ( April 2008 to March 2009)
In OB52 We have closed the posting period for 2008 and open special posting period in the following manner
0001 + 0000 zzzz 02 2009 02 2009 13 2008 16 2008.
Still why the system is not accepting the special posting period 13 for the posting date 31.03.2009 (2008 fiscal year) in transaction code F.13
Regards,
Babjee

Hi Anil,

System is not permitting the message to change from error to warning. Reference message no: BF00400.
