Delete or change posting period

hello
We have a customer which was purchased by a large corporation.
Before the purchase, they created their calendar and Fiscal year according to the calendar year: Jan 1st to Dec 31st.
After the purchase, they need to run their Fiscal year from July 1st to June 30th.
2009 - was already closed.
2010 u2013 we have 12 periods one for each month.
2011 u2013 to be opened
We intend to:
Close year 2010 with only 6 months: Jan 1st to June 30th
Delete from period 2010 the periods of July 2010 till December 2010.
Create a new period of 12 months: July 1st 2010 to June 30th 2011
Create a new period indicator u201C2010-1011u201D and link the periods to it.
Link the document series to the new period indicator.
My question is:
Is it better to delete from period 2010 the periods of July 2010 till December 2010
OR
Is it better to set Juneu2019s period till June 24 and then use the other 6 periods, 1 for each day of June so no periods are deleted?
Thanks

Can I change posting period variant after go live?

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to change posting period variant after postings are done in the system? We are now having the same posting period variant for all company codes but I want to split it and have separate, one per company code. Is that possible now?
Best regards Lisa

Hi,
Yes, it should be no problem if the fiscal year remains the same.

How to change posting period for a company code

Hi Gurus,
In MIGO while doing goods receipt i get this error " Posting only possible in periods 2006/05 and 2006/04 in company code 3000"
How to change the posting period.
I have serched in SDN, i tried transaction MMPV, and OB52 but i am not able to change as i dont know the basics of the screen as i am ABAPER.
Can u tell me how to change. or give sme link with some snapshots.
Thanks

hi
I think you need to check your fiscal year varian before you do the MMPV. Fiscal year is set up by the FI consultant and it is deciding in which fiscal year period your current month belongs to.(Transaction -OB29)
Ex:
if you use K4 fiscal year variant then this october month is treated as 2010-07 period. Because the fiscal year starts from April and 2010 fiscal year starts from 2009 april.
Calendar Year                 Fiscal year
2009 april                =       2010 - 01
2009 may                =       2010 - 02
2009 Oct                 =       2010 - 07
So first get the fiscal year and period accurately (I suggest get it from your FI guy) and put it in the MMPV
If you accidentally close a wrong period dont forget to follow these notes too.

Change Posting Period in already posted document

Hi,
I wanted to check is there any process where we can change the posting period of already posted documents. The external system unfortunately sent the documents in special periods 13, but it has to be 12. Now our client wants to change the posting period to 12.
Can anyone of you suggest a suitable way in going forward.
Thanks,
Srini

Hi,
It is not possile to change the posting period in a posted document, alternatively you can park the document form the external system and it can be posted in SAP after review by the user.
Thanks and regards

Hello all,

<i>"Posting only possible in periods 2004/08 and 2004/07 in company code AB01"</i>
What should I do. I am not FI then I need very detailed information.

Gurus,
I went to tcode = OB52 however for this company code AB01 I have:
First Posting Period Allowed (in Interval 1) = 7 /2005
Last Posting Period Allowed (in Interval 1) = 7 / 2006
and
First Posting Period Allowed (in Interval 2) = 1 / 2999
Last Posting Period Allowed (in Interval 2) = 16 / 2999
I do not understand much but I think here in OB52 the period is correct. Am I right? And then what to do next?

Wrong period indicator linked to 2011 posting periods

Hello,
My customer has created new series for 2011 and linked them to 2011 period indicator.
The problem is that the posting period was linked to 2010 period indicator. They've already created several transactions and therefore the period indicator in the posting period window cannot be updated.
Any ideas on how to solve it (except for restoring a backup and retyping the transactions)?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Maya
Problem solved..

Posting period issue while deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO

Hi ..
I am facing an issue whiel deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO.
Confirmation was posted for a limit PO in SRM and it created a service entry sheet in SAP. If I deleted that confirmation in the same posting period, then it is getting deleted. No issue here.
But if I deleted that confirmation in the next posting period then the reversal document is going to error in process. RZ20 is showing the error "Positng only possible in periods 2012/2 and 2012/3".
Posting date of reversal document is current date only and the backend posting period is 2012/3, but still it is failing with this posting period error.
If I tried to delete a confirmation posted for a normal PO then I could able to delete it even in next posting period by just changing the posting date.
Why this posting occurs while deleting the limit confirmation, even through the posting date is falls within the backenn posting periiod? Is it like, SAP system is trying to delete the service entry sheet in original posting period? Kindly help.
I am in SRM 5.0 (server 5.5) SP12.
Thanks,
Arun

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

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.

SEM-BCS Changing of posting periods

Hi:
In the Consolidation Monitor, by going to 'edit' function, we can open and close the posting periods.
I have the following questions:
a) How far we can go to open the posting periods? Say if you are in pp '7', can you open period '5' and post a manual data entry?
b) If we make any corrections in the previous period, how does the system correct the cumulative figure in the consecutive periods?
The above are important questions for the client and let me know your comments.
Thanks.
Virgo

Hi Virgo,
I usually have the posting period as a parameter at the top of my WB or monitor screen. I may just retype ANY OTHER PP and hit ENTER in order to enter there.
Staying in ANY previous period I may do ANY tasks available in that period, i.e. manual entries, additional data input (with cumulative data corrections).
But remember, if you changed something in a previous period, you MUST RERUN all the tasks in this and all consecutive periods!!! Manually!
The system doesn't do it automatically.
In my practice, almost all eliminating tasks/documents are to be reversed in the next period. It means that any I/U elims task run will effect the next period.
So, be very carefully. SAP doesn't recommend to execute some separate task in previous periods. You may just broke the consistency of all consolidation.
Hope this helps.
