How to open and close posting period for both material , n invoicing

Hi Sunaina
Period Open T.code: MMP1
Period Close T-Code: MMPV
Automate the opening of MM periods
How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods (transaction MMPV - program RMMMPERI) with
SM36?
RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working
day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
Another possibility:
Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

Re open the closed Posting Periods - Very Urgent

Dear Experts,
We have an urgent problem to solve.The company code currently we are configuring uses fiscal year (oct - Sept) and the other company codes in our client site uses (jan -Dec). So by mistake we closed posting periods using MMPV upto 2007 03 but it should be 2006 06(correct me if i am wrong).
As we are still in baseline configuration we don't have any material document in the current company code. From this forum I got some solution to intialize the posting period using MMPI(which directed me to use SAP Note 487381).
Now if I do MMPI with the directions mentioned in SAP Note 487381, will i face any problem now & in future.
Please suggest me and help me as has become hurdle for the test process.
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Aswartha
As you do not have any material documents , pl go ahead and initialize the periods. Should not be a problem.
I normally do this to avoid errors:
In MMPV, never give a period. Enter the current date(or first date of the month) in the date field and execute closing program.
Best regards
Ramki

How to Open and Close Posting Periods in MM

Hi,
I have opened posting periods for 10/2008 first and by mistake even 11/2008 and 12/2008 using MMPV.
Now when I am trying to do PGI from VL02N, the system says postings are only possible for 11/2008 and 12/2008.
How to close these two periods and default to 10/2008.
Please kindly help me to solve this issue.

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.

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

Hi Mandeep ,
First i would like to tell about fiscal year
fiscal year is nothing but a financial year of company in sap . it contain 12 normal periods and 4 special periods.In genaral we will call like month but that is sap that is a period. so 12 period for 12 months ok next special period will use in all companies for audit and tax adjustment purpose of previous year.
coming to the open and close periods.in sap for security purpose we have to open one period like this month july so i opened july period only we cant post the pervious month (june)and we cant post future month lik in (Auguest)ok
You can close and open periods by transaction ob52.
In transaction ob52 there are account types
+ Valid for all account types
A Assets
D Customers
K Vendors
M Materials
S G/L accounts
V Contract accounts
+ means all types. if you want to open vendor then enter period from and to according to your fiscal year.
you cant adjust items in closed period. if you want to then you have to open the period
For your information.....

Re-open the Previous posting period

hi...
we have closed the posting period for the month of 01-02(april-may) and open the 03-04(june-july)...
but now we want to open the previous posting period i.e. 01-02(april-may) again...so how could we do this..
one solution i have got is that...
1. go to OX18 delete all the assignment for that company code and plant.
2. go to OMSY and change the posting period..
3. go to OX18 and reassign the plant and company code again...
this is the right method to do that..?
will there be any -ive implications if I open the previous period by this procedure..?
or suggest me some other way to do that...
Thanks in advance

Hi
You can open Closed MM periods but be careful because SAP does recommend opening closed MM periods.
Steps are :
1) Tcode MMPI --from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field.
Try to remove assignment of plants from company code.
Now Go to -
T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.
Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct preriod is open thru T-Code - MMRV
Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.
Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (or any other Material Type used by your company)
Then click on the quantity and value update.
Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update
Even check this link...Reopening the posting period that was closed
This will definitely reslove your problem.
Thanking you.

Two intervals in Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

What is the purpose of the two intervals (period 1 and period 2) in Open and Close Posting Periods (transaction OB52)?

Hi,
Financial statements cannot be prepared on the last day of the accounting period... to find out the correct profit and to determine the correct financial positing... sometimes you may require to make some adjustment to accounting records after the closing of the accounting year... like adjustments for expenses payable, income receivable, writting off bad debts ...etc.
For posting those transactions....period 2 is maintained ..which are also called as special periods... to make the postings in these periods ...special authorisation is required.....
Period 1 is for regular postings ...
