FI posting period variant restricted in OB52
Hi,
First all of you have HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.
My problem is i have multiple posting period variant (Multiple company code wise), i want to restrict posting peirod variant in OB52 i.e. one posting period variant for one company code to be open / close only by concerned user of that company code.
pls. advice asap.
regards,
mahesh
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.

Restrict Access in OB52 by Posting Period Variant
Hello,
In our company there are many posting period variants. We want to restrict the access for opening and closing posting periods in OB52 by Posting period variant. i.e. User can open/close for a specific posting period variant and not all.
On searching on this forum, i found some solutions saying that one can create Screen variants according to Posting period Variant but i am not very clear on it.
It would be very helpful, if someone can provide detailed solution for this scenario; or share one's experience on this.
Thanks and regards,
AnkurInside OB52, the last column on the right is titled AuGr. Expanded, that stands for Authorization Group. Hit <F1> after keeping the cursor in that field and read what SAP has to say about that field.
That is the answer to what you need - a posting period can be made available to only a limited set of users using the Authorization Group. You'll need to enlist the help of your resident BASIS team members for putting this into use.
Remember to assign points if found useful.

We have a issue with posting period variant authorization. Say for example we have 4 company code and 4 posting period variants and we want to restrict one particular user should have authorization to open and close for one posting period variant only. Because mistake other company posting periods are getting opened. so as we have one posting period variant for one company, we want to restict one particular user responsible for one particular posting period variant not for all OB52 transaction code. Please advise how to achieve this.....

More than one posting period variant for one company code
Dear Colleagues,
My question is if it's somehow possible to assign more than one posting period variant to one company code? (I am not a FI specialist...)
(We are using the new GL and would like to define a special posting period interval for a non-leading ledger. The c.codes already exists and are already assigned to a posting period variant.)
The reason for why we would need an additional posting period variant for an existing c.code, is because we are already using both posting period intervals in t.code OB52.)
Best regards
Viveka SchwartzHi
You can assign a PPV to the Non Leading ledger separately.. That means both Leading and NOn Leading ledgers can have separate PPVs
Apart from this, no 3rd PPV is possible.. As Eli said, Validation is the only option, but I think Validations work for Leading ledgers only

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

OB52 authorisation group (close&open posting periods only for partic users
Dear FI-CO Guru's
In ob52- I want open postin periods
1)Certain group of user will allow for posting only normal periods
and
2) Certain group of users will allow for posting normal and special periods
this is our business requirement kindly suggest how can I maintain
Regards
GuruPrsadHi Guru,
If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular
posting period, proceed as follows:
Add the posting period authorization (authorization object
F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an
authorization group (e.g. '0001').
Enter the account type '+' for the posting period variant to which
the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all
users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g.
'0001') in the last column.
For this you need to consult with Basis people authorization matrix.

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
I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.

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,
SrideviHi 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.

Error saying 'Posting period 000 is not defined for fiscal year variant K4'
Hi All,
When I try to add a new entry in the transaction OB52, I get an error message saying 'Posting period 000 is not defined for fiscal year variant K4'. The entry that I add is,
Variant : 0001
Account Type: +
From Period : 1
Year : 1995
To Period : 12
Year : 2010
From Period2 : 13
Year : 2000
To period2 : 16
Year : 2010
Please let me know what customising needs to be done to solve this issue.
Thanks a ton.
Best Regards,
JeffHi,
Hava you checked in OB52 screen, by default 0001 posting period variant will be there for +, A, D, K, S account types.
If it is already existed in your OB52 screen, you won't create one more record with the same name. You have to edit the existing 0001 posting period with new values.
Thanks

OB52 - open and close posting period
Hi
I want to know that what is the meaning of + while populating the posting period variant with data for posting periods and also what will be the effect if we donot put the same. Instead that we only put the entry for A D K M S.Hi Srikanth
Thanks for the quick response.
But does your answer mean that if we put only + and no other entries for A D K M S then all a/cs will have the same posting periods open for them.
Also how to keep two different posting periods open for open for two different assets (A).

Assign posting periods to authorization group in tcode S_ARL_87003642
Hello,
I want to restrict posting periods for some users. Therefore, I have created 2 functions associated to 2 authorization groups.
In transaction S_ARL_87003642, when I try to assign different posting periods to each authorization group to the same company code (Posting Period Variant) it appears a message saying u2018Target key must be different from source keyu2019.
What am I doing wrong? Do you know how can I restrict posting periods for some users?
Thanks and regards
Ana RitaDear,
You simply have to define authorisation groups in OB52 and assign this group to F_bkpf_bup in SU01 against user proflie as desired. Take basis help.

Profit Center-wise authorization for posting period
Hi
I have two profit centers - 1000 and 2000 under company code A001. Now management requires that posting in different must be restricted separately. For ex: Profit center 1000 needs more time for closing. Hence Profit Center 2000 must be closed in OB52 even though Profit center 1000 is opened.
Posting period variant assigned to company code: A001 is 1100.
Now in OB52, i gave
Variant:1100
Account type: +
GL Accounts: 1000000 (from account) 99999999 (to account)
From period 1/2011 to 2/2011
Authorization group: 1000
But how to link (add / remove) user id to that authorization group. Please helpHello,
I'm using new GL and i've activated the Profit Center cenarios. However, the profit centers filled at the GL items aren't transferred for the FAGLFLEXA / FAGLFLEXT tables.
Do you know why isn't the FAGLFLEXA / FAGLFLEXT filled?
Additionally i'm using the transaction F.5D and 1KEK to transfer information at the GL items for the GLPCA / GLPCT tables. Why aren't this information transferred online?
Best regards,

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.

If you have several company codes and want your users only to be able to open and close periods
(transaction OB52) belonging to their posting period variant (=company code).
First you configure the Posting Variant :-
1) FI- FI Global Settings - Document - Posting Periods - Define Variants for Posting Periods
2) FI- FI Global Settings - Document - Posting Periods - Assign Variants to Company Code
Second Step:-
Goto SE11 copy the view V_T001B to ZV_T001B_000X (000X indicate the Posting Variant)
In Change mode, tabstrips Selection Conditions Insert line 2 with
Table Field Name Operator Comparative Value AND/OR
T001B BUKRS EQ '000X' AND
Save your entries
Third Step :-
Goto SE54, Options Generated Objects -> Create
Authorizations Group FC31
Function Group Z00F0
Maintenance Type One Type
Overview Screen 65
Single Screen 0
Final Step :-

Start object - Transaction with parameters (parameter transaction)
Transaction SM30, Tick Skip initial screen

Save your entries.
Now, test your new transaction code ZOB52_000X which will only display the
Posting Variant that you have define in your table view.

purnaThe variant for posting periods is defined for every company code. The name of this variant is identical to the company code name. Every company code is allocated to this variant with the same name.
