Current Period in material master

Hi folks,
When I create material master in our ECC Dev Server , the current period in accounting Tab shows 01 2008 instead of the present period i.e 03 2008.Why is this? I think some closing of the earlier period is involved which I am missing. Would anybody throw some light on this?

Hi
Go to MMRV and check for given company code what is current period is it is 01 2008
Go to MMPV enter company code ..Perioad as 02 fiscal year 2008
Tick check and close period
execute same ..now 02 2008 will be ur current period
repeat same trnx with period as 03
Now 03 2008 will become ur current period
Vishal...

    Hi,
    Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Code and back posting is allowed or not. If you are sure to open new period now of  new posting to period 08, then
    use t.code: MMPV ,
    enter
    Company code C999
    Period to open 08
    Fiscal Year 2010
    Execute
    ( system will close the period last period 07 and automatically system open the new one 08)
    Now try ur transaction.
    if any problem, then check  in FI Side:
    Use t.code: OB52 and open the 08,2010 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save. Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.

  • Open a previous period in material master record

    I'm working in a test system and current period was closed and so was the next period. So period 3/2008 is closed, period 4/2008 is closed, and now 5/2008 is the current period. I know I can post to the previous period but that doesn't help me because I need to post for 3/2008.
    My question is can I reopen 3/2008? If so what is the potiential problems I'll run into if I do?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi,
    NOTE: Involve also FICO Consultant and collect all the documents before proceeding.
    MMRV: to check which period is open & also set back posting allowed,
    MMPV: to open the period.
    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 a posting 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 01/02/2008 for Feb. 2008 month to be opened as of now
    That means, user can post for the month of Jan 2008 as well as Feb. 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.
    OR
    NOT ADVICEABLE THIS METHOD, ONLY TRY IN SANDBOX NOT IN RUNNING SYSTEM OR TEST SYSTEM1.
    Use T.codes:
    1.OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.CD and save.
    2. Use t.code: OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
    3. Use t.code:OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.

  • Problem with MMPV(close period for material master records)

    Hy,
    I'm really stuck in this weird problem.
    I have already open 04.2008 period in MMPV  and in MIGO transaction I got this error message:
    Document date lies in the future.
    Posting period 004 2008 is not open.
    What should I do?
    Please, someone help me.

    First check the date in MIGO transaction.... is it current date ?
                                                                                  (April's )
    and then
    go to OBBP  and check the posting period variant,
                           of your Company code..
    Now, go to OB52  and check the periods, they should be in
                               year 2008 for your posting period variant..

  • Open Period for material master record

    Hi gurús
                    We´d just create a new company code and plant. After the activation of ML we started to make some materiales movements, but the system show the error message "Posting only possible in period XXX".
    Whe we opened the period through MMPV tcode system confirm us that the last period open is 06/2005. But the company code and plant was created after that date (11/2009).
    How it is possible? From where the system is taking the date?
    Thanks in advance for the help
    Regards
    Enzo

    Hi,
    See the date came as from which Company code your Company is Created, as well the Factory calender Might be Copied with the Calender and never Started the Update program. there are many reason's it happens.
    So one thing As Your ABAPer to Try execute the program RMMMPERI upto today's Period. so that you can be able to do the process.
    as Well as ABAPer to maintain background job through SM38 for program RMMMPERI in SAP so that you will never found the place to update the periods per month.

  • Closing/Opening Material Master Posting Periods

    The instance is ECC 6.0
    Can we roll back the material master posting period. We had some issue that the material master was rolled over by 2-3 periods accidentally which is corrected now.
    OSS note 1082841 was applied so the periods can not be rolled over going forward. Now was going to some testing, but not sure if the problem is corrected or not and wanted to know what is the way to roll back the period if it is rolled over.

  • Change the profit center in the material master

    dear All,
    we need to change the profit center but the system is not letting because the is stock.
    i was thinking if we issue this stock on any cost center, change the profit center and then cancel the issuing material document ...
    what do you think ,,,, would this effect the accounting badly ?? if so,, please recommend other ways

    tej yadav wrote:
    Hi, The only solution to change the "PROFIT CENTER"  for you will be to maintain message MM335 in OMT4 as a warning, then change the Profit center & again change it to error.
    Are you really thinking this is the right approach?
    ever thought about how the posting are made in the other modules then? We dont live on an MM island, so a solution  has to cover the requirements of the connected modules as well.
    if you had received stock to a material with profit center A, then value is posted to profit center A.
    if you change the profit center  in material master to B while you have stock, the value of earlier receipts will not move from profit center A to B, they stay at A.
    The next goods issue for this material is made against the profit center B.
    this results in having a postive value at profit center A (which will never go away) and having a negative value at profit center B (because you had never received to profit center B what you just issued)
    Because of this you should not change the message settings.

    you cannot issue anything in the prior period if everything is already issued in the current period.
    One should obtain the quantityof previous period in material master accounting view.
    Finally you have to have zero stock in current and previous period before changing profit center.
    How you approach this is based on the fact if the current period stock is bigger or smaller than the previous period stock.
    if current period stock is bigger, then issue previous period stock with previous peiod date, and issue remaining stock in current period.
    if current period stock is smaller than previous period stock, then you have to write on the delta in the current period, and subsequent issue the total stock in the previous period.

    Your approach is right. when we had this issue we solved through created dummy material and issue it to dummy material, change the profit center and receive it back..
    >

    Goods issue to cost center or goods movement 309 to a dummy material will both affect accounting and create accounting documents.
    of course, if everything works well then you will get  accounting documents with opposite value after you have changed the profit center and you write on the quantity again.

  • Material master records

    Hi,
       i tried  to initialize period for material master record and i am getting error  * follow the instruction in note 487381 before initialization* .any suggestion would be appriciated thanks
    cheers
    jothi

    Hi
    FYI--from sap note
    the initialization of a posting period has the following effects concerning the period stocks:
    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.
    If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period) just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings), you should initialize the posting period back again to the old value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
               However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in this case are inaccurate.
               You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a previous posting period and if postings were made during this time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous periods is lost.
               As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the history records.
    Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a previous period or have been created in the former previous period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined from the current book value of the previous period and the book quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM) and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period that is currently valid.

    Hi,
    Please read the Solution part of  note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
    with the initialization :
    Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
    following effects concerning the period stocks:
        o  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

           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.

  • Updating Price in previous period - Material master

    Experts,
    I create a new material and want to update the price in previous period. I update successfully through MR21. when i check material master price is shown only in previous period(May) and its howing current period price is ZERO.
    Is it possible to bring the previous price to current price tab automatically?
    R.S

    Hi,
    You may check in OMRN and set column price carried over.
    In the case of a price change in the previous period or in the previous year, you must define whether the change also applies to the current period. You have two options:
    The price change applies only in the previous period or previous year and does not affect the current period.
    The price change also applies to the current period; the price in the current period is thus also changed automatically.
    Activities
    If you want price changes in the previous period or previous year to also change the price in the current period, select column
    Price carried over.
    Thanks and regards,
    Polly

  • Material Master Period closing:

    Hey Gurus,
    Currently we are running MMPV globally which causes few issues regularly.
    Hope running MMPV locally would fix these.
    Splitting the MMPV transaction event (by world time zones) would be a major piece of work to establish the impacts on other processess (such as billing, intercompany accounting, consolidation, standard costing runs and actual costing runs). Needless to say, such a change would need to involve multiple functions (Procurement, sales, finance).
    Immediate response in this regard in highly appreciable,
    Regards,
    KK

    You may refer to  note 520010 that has a FAQ on period closing, which recommends not to allow posting while period closing is being done.
    (My comments: You may trying closing the period following the Sun, However you may want to monitor the inter-company transaction closely to avoid any inconsistencies.)
    The note's content is reproduced below.
    "6. Question:
    After the period closing program runs, data inconsistencies occur in the previous period, although the data of the current period is consistent. What causes this?
    Answer:
    The following example describes a rare case that causes a large amount of data inconsistencies. During the period closing program run, the processing of a small MM document overtakes the processing a large MM document.
    Constellation:
    - In Customizing for materials management, "Late Lock" is activated.
    - In period closing for the material master (transaction MMPV), periods are closed during the interval between the last day of the old period and the first day of the new period.
    Example
    Date July 30, 2005, time 23:59
    - You begin processing MM document 1, an IDoc consisting of 1200 items.
    - Its posting date is July 30, 2005 and posting should occur in the current period.
    Date July 31,.2005, time 00:00 - 00:01
    - The period closing program runs a day before the current period 07 is finished and changes the current period from 07 to 08.
    - Therefore, all future goods movements and price changes with a posting date of July 31, 2005 are posted in the previous period.
    Date 31.07.2005, time 00:02 - 00:03
    - The system processes and updates the next MM document (2), an IDoc with 100 items.
    - MM document 2 contains goods movements that have combinations of material and plant that are the same as for MM document 1.
    - The posting date is to 31.07.2005, that is, MM document 2 is posted in the previous period 07.
    - The posting of MM document 2 causes the system to create history tables of the material masters that are to be posted for period 07.
    - During the posting of the previous period, the quantities and values are updated simultaneously in the history tables of period 07 and the tables of the current period 08.
    Date July 31,.2005, time 00:04
    - MM document 1 is posted and its processing is complete.
    - At the start of processing, the system determined that this document, with a posting date of July 30, 2005, is to be posted into the current period.
    - During the processing of this document the period is closed, but the posting program does not know this.
    - MM document 2 has updated the entries for the current period, however this is now 08.
    - The data in the history table of period 07 is now inconsistent as is the data for all the combinations of material and plant that are contained in MM documents 1 and 2.
    Conclusion
    <b>To avoid this constellation, do not allow any postings to occur whilst the period closing programs is running.</b>
    Before the period closing program runs, check in transaction SM13 whether outstanding update terminations of goods movements are still displayed. These must be cleared and closed before the period closing program runs.

  • MRP TYPE for  Periodic planning in the material master.

    Dear gurus,
    i need planned the materials in the periodic modality, are there the type MRP in the material master for create the planned file ( table MDVM) one once a month or in the specific period chose ?
    Example :
    I need that the material master don't create a file planned ( MD20- TABLE MDVM) for a change of the requirement situation new , but i would like that the flag in the table ( MDVM) or file of the planning MRP created when the today date is in the period specific.
    31.3.2011  (or period 1.4.2011- 10-4-2011)Date for the create a file MRP and after when run MRP planned the material, for others scenary the system must not planned the material.
    Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
    Thanks a lot
    Dani

    Dani,
    Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
    However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.

  • Period change is not appearing in accounting view of material master

    Hello SAP lovers
    As we know once we close the period with MMPV, Latest perion appeared in material master --> Accounting view.
    Now period open is March 2007 for a company code. It is expected that material created in all the plants assigned to same company code should display latest period in accounting view. This is happening for all thousands of material in system but i found 1 material which is displaying the period as Nov 2006.
    I have doubled check that this material is created for the same plant which is assgned to the company code for which Mar2007 is open....
    Anybody ......Any clue......
    Best Regards
    Avinash

    Hello Mani
    I have already checked all the open items.....
    No sale order. No entry in table MSEG.
    Only one PO without GR.....So that should not make any difference.

  • In Material Master Screen,functionally what is BAckward Consumption period

    In Material Master Screen,functionally what is BAckward Consumption period & Forward Consumption period in the MRP Screen.Pls explain its functionality

    Hi,
    The safety time / actual range of coverage ensures that the planned warehouse stock covers the requirements of a defined number of days. It therefore serves as a time float and thus works alongside the safety stock, which acts as quantity float.
    The system simulates bringing the requirements forward by the specified number of days and the planning for the receipts, created for these requirements in the planning run, is also brought forward by this number of days.
    Prerequisites
    ·   You have set the Safety Time indicator in the material master record (MRP 2 View) to define whether the safety time is only to apply to independent requirements or to all requirements.
    ·    In the material master record (MRP 2 View), in the Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage field, you have entered the number of workdays by which the requirements are to be brought forward.
    ·    If, in addition to this actual range of coverage, you also want to define a different number of workdays in certain periods or a safety time less than one day then, in Customizing for MRP in the activity Define Period Profile for Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage you can define a period profile and assign it to the material in the material master record.
    Regards,
    Vijay
