How to define different open interval rule for GR and IR?

Question

Hello all
In the beginning of a Fiscal Year (until January 15 u2013 20) I have the following problem:
Users are, mistakenly, posting service entry sheets (SES) or material document, with posting date of a new fiscal year, from purchase order from previous FY. As a result, budget is consumed from the new fiscal year. I do not want to carry forward this PO, I want to post this material document in the previous FY.
I tried to close posting for VT 54 for the new FY (only for the first 2 weeks of the new FY. I used FMMI), but then I can not post invoices, and I do want to post invoices.
I am looking for a way  to close FY in FM for SES or material document only, and not for invoices. Is any one know how?
More details:
I use ECC6 with ENHP 4.
I use Former budget.
PBET is not active.
Value types 51 and 54 are relevant for budget.
Thank you for your answer

Hello Uri,
"Users are, mistakenly, posting service entry sheets (SES) or material document, with posting date of a new fiscal year, from purchase order from previous FY. As a result, budget is consumed from the new fiscal year."
I wanted to ask you for some clarification here: I would expect the SES consuming the reference PO, rather than consuming budget.
Also, please have a look at this part of the online help:
[Closing operations|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/f0/ca4266260211d28a430000e829fbbd/content.htm]
In the 'Implementation considerations' part, it's stated:
It is not necessary to carry out closing operations with the fiscal year change in the system if you do not use period-based encumbrance tracking or, whilst using the Budget Control System, have activated multi-year budget execution. If you therefore decide not to carry out closing operations, budget already used remains in the old fiscal year and cannot be used in the new fiscal year. Open commitments are correctly reduced in the old fiscal year if you process them further in the new. (For example, a purchase order from 2005 can be reduced by an invoice arriving in 2006.)
Are you finding those SES actually are consuming budget instead of reducing the reference PO?
On the other hand, you might also think about using Multi-year budget execution, it may also be helpful in your scenario.
