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,
    Ankur

    Inside 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.

  • Posting period variant authorization

    Hi
    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 Schwartz

    Hi
    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 Lisa

    Hi,
    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
    GuruPrsad

    Hi 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

  • 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,
    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

    Dear,
    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 help

    Hello,
    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?

  • 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.

              The 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.
