Error in Opening the Posting Period.

Hi All,
The Current period in the system is 10 2009.
The Previous period in the system is 09 2009.
When trying to open the posting period 11 2009 ( through MMPV ), system throws an error saying "The specified year 2009 is not the current calendar year" and then a log is issued.
Can anybody help me in this. Please...
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Everybody for your help. It was resolved.
The Periods in the Fiscal Year Variant (Z1 is my case) were not maintained for the Calendar Year 2009.
Maintenance was done in SPRO in the following path ( Financial Accounting/ Financial Accounting Global Settings/Fiscal Year/ Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year) ).
And after this I could close and open the periods in the system.
Thank you all for the help.

Restrict the posting period opening and closing for some users

Dear SAP gurus,
I want to restrict some users to open the posting period and for some users close posting periods. I knew that these can be done through authorization group. Pls explain how to create authorization groups and how to use those? Anybody can help me out?
Regards,
Venkata Reddy

Dear Venkatareddy,
There are two sets of period in OB52. The first set of "From" and "To" is for the authorised group and second set is for the non authorised group. In the "Authorisation Group" (last column) give some 4 charecters name. Say "FICO".
Now ask the basis to attach the object "FICO" for the users who are authorised say user1, user 2 and user3.
Now in the first set of period you can maintain say 1 2008 to 16 2008 and in the second set 1 2008 to 1 2008.
So except user1,2 and 3, all the others can post only in 1 2008. Whereas users 1,2 and3 can post in all the periods of 2008.

Error during goods issue-Posting period not open

Hi ,
I am getting an error during goods issue which says posting period not open.I guess that we have had deliveries that were created and in process while crossing over from one financial period to another quite frequently before, but we were still able to goods issue them in the next period. Can anyone tell me why this error happens and if there is any work around for this?
Thanks,
Hari.

Hi,
Goods issue takes place, say on a given date and this should be updated, so that the plant valuation changes are recorded. But the periods need to opened to do this. Normally there are two posting periods available, one is in MM, done by t.code MMPV and the other in FI, t.code is OB52.
So, in MMPV we need have the current month as the posting period. But in your case it was allowing, probably because you have marked the indicator " allow posting in previous period " in MMRV t.code as our friend just conveyed.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

MM Initial Opening of Posting Period

Hi ,
When new client copies are created , is Trasnaction MMPI used to intialise the first MM Period in the new client copy, and then subsequently MMPV will be used to close a period and automatically open the next period.
So theoretically MMPI should only be used once !
What other tips are there to check this and the financial periods that are open or closed.?
Thanks
Al

Hi Al,
Transaction MMPI does the following:
Sets the current period
However, do not use this program to set the new period at the end of a period, and use it only in addition to the period closing program, never instead of it.
Creates or updates the control record
Makes it possible to create material master records if you are initializing a company code for the first time
However, to initialize company codes, you are recommended using Transaction OMSY instead of this program.
You can also use Transaction MMPI to correct data inconsistencies, for example, due to user errors when running the period closing program, or that occur as a result of skipping several periods in a test system. However, first make sure you understand why the inconsistency arose and then decide whether running this program is the correct way of resolving it.
Caution
Be careful if the period used for initialization precedes the current period in the control record for the company code since this can result in an inconsistency between goods movements and material master segments. This is because the stock information in the material master segments is assigned to the new current period in this case (see the following example).
Example
Current period 02
Opening stock balance 0 pieces
Goods receipt 10 pieces
Period used for initialization 01
According to the material master segment, there are 10 pieces in stock in period 01, although 10 pieces were posted to stock in period 02 according to the goods movement document.
Requirements
Be sure you are fully aware what this program does before running it.
The material ledger must not be activated.

Naveen.

Problems with the posting period....

Hi guys,
every once in a while the old problem with the posting periods occurs. This morning it hit me and I went out to repair it.
Starting out from MMRV I checked the open period and it said 062009.
Using MMPV, by mistake, I opened 112009, so that I'm able to post to 112009 PLUS the previous period 102009 (which is ok so far). Later on I checked OB52 to see, if finance is not the problem. The opened period lasts from 012009 to 122009.
Long story short: everything seems perfectly alright, however it still doesn't work. It says: Posting only possible in periods 2009/11 and 2009/10 in company code 1000
I don't see where there could be a problem now...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thx & regards,
Bobby

Hi,
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 01/10/2009 for Oct. 2009 month to be opened as of now
That means, user can post for the month of sept 2009 as well as Oct. 2009
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.
Other way of doing it is follow these steps: ( *TRY in Sandbox But do not try in PRODUCTION SYSTEM*)
1. Use t.code: 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.Go to OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.

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.
Regards,
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

Open previous Posting Periods

Hi Experts,
When trying to post a good receipts I get the current error:
Posting periods only possible in 12/2011 and 11/2011. I want to post in 12/2209
How do I set the system to post in 12/2009?

Hi
Allowing Posting to the Previous Period
Prerequisites
Posting to the previous period (backposting) is allowed only if the corresponding indicator is set
in the control record. This indicator is set automatically during initialization and after each change
of period. However, it can sometimes be necessary to set it manually.
For One Company Code
1. In the Material Master [Ext.] menu, choose Other Allow posting to previous period.
The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the company code and choose Enter.
3. Set the Allow posting to previous per. indicator.
4. Save your data.
But in your case the current year is 2011 but you wanna to post to 2009.You can allow by allow posting to previous period ( i.e. one period only).
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.
You need to take help of SAP while doing initialization by MMPI and also prog. RMMMINIT but system gives error Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization.

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.

Clarify these words:posting period varients & open & close posting period

Hi Sap Gurus,
Someone kindly make me clarify following words.Thank you.
1.Posting period varient.
2.Open & close posting periods
3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
Best Regards,
priya desai
Financial Analysist

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.

BYMONTHDAY is causing the error while opening the ics file in outlook when event is exported from SharePoint Calendar

Hi All,
I am trying to parse the SharePoint recurrence data to get the RRULE for the ics file the RRULE parsed works fine for Yearly and Daily but it causes error when opening the ics file for the Monthly and
weekly recurrence recurrence. I have opened the ics file in the notepad and observed that the BYDAY and BYMONTHDAY causes the problem. If I remove the tag the file opens fine but with wrong recurrence pattern.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ajeet,
I see that this is an extremely old post, but I thought I would refresh it with a bit more info.
I wish I had found this post a few days ago. I realized the same thing as well. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind requiring the by day date must be the same as the event date. Another thing with rrecurrence is that if
you pick a day of the week for a recurrence (i.e. Friday), then the start date must also occur on a Friday (I am just casting it as the first Friday of the month).
I have come into this same issue with the BYMONTHDAY. I am currently working on trying to configure an .ICS file to allow for multiple monthly recurrences, but it appears Outlook does not support multiple days within an event (determined by trying
to create an even in Outlook and picking the recurrence option). It seems that you are only allowed to have an event on (for example) every Friday of each month, or the (x) day of each month. You cannot set any other occurrences of any other day
within the same ICS file. Hopefully someone else will find this information useful.
Cheers,
Tracy
