Hello Hana,
It is possible to reopen a previously closed period. However, it isn't
advisable to do because the valuation data of the previous period could
get affected. If you decide to proceed with the process, please review
the documentation of program RMMMINIT (To see this documentation, please
do the following: SE38, RMMMINIT, and select the documentation button
and display).
Take into account the documentation of the program RMMMINIT:
"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."
Please also review the note 70545 regarding the initialization
process. Although this note is NOT valid for your release, it provides
good information on the use of initialization for correction purposes.
Additionally, please review the note 369637 in this regard as well.
PLEASE FIRST PERFORM THIS IN A TEST/DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRIOR TO MOVING
TO PRODUCTION AS YOUR VALUATION DATA FROM PREVIOUS PERIOD WILL BE
AFFECTED. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can move it
to production.
Also see the SAP On-line documentation (http://help.sap.com):
Logistics - General (LO)
-> Logistics Basic Data (LO-MD)
-> Material Master (LO-MD-MM)
-> Period closing
In addition, as you know, please check the following note as well:
487381 - RMMMINIT: Protection against unintentionial execution
I hope this information helps you.

  • Open an already closed period

    Is it possible to open an already closed posting period? If yes, how? And is it recommended to open any closed period?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hello,
    There are two different places where  the period is closed in SAP.
    a. FI period
    Use transaction OB52.
    b. MM period - MMPI
    The help extract for the same is given below for your reference:
    Short text
    Initialize Period for Material Master Records
    Description
    This program must be viewed in conjunction with the period closing program (RMMMPERI). It 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 the IMG activity Maintain company codes for materials management instead of this program.
    You can also use this program 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.

  • Opening and closing periods in FI

    Dear FICO experts,
    Just a quick question regarding OB52.
    We have only 1 company code, can we use the same posting period variant in mulitple line items for the combination ALL account types and a range of periods that are open?
    Posting period variant:0000
    Account Type: +
    Period from: 1
    Year:2001
    Period to: 12
    Year: 2011
    Posting period variant:0001 (continue making new posting period variants for all account types as needed)
    Account Type: +
    Period from: 1
    Year:2012
    Period to: 12
    Year: 2012
    OR
    Do we just adjust the one line item: example below
    Posting period variant:0000
    Account Type: +
    Period from: 1
    Year:2001
    Period to: 12
    Year: 2011 (keep ajdusting this one line item whenever we need to open new periods for all account types)
    Thanks, Deb
    Moderator: Company code is assigned to one variant; so the question is irrelevant

    Hi,
    The Posting Period Variant is just defined once and is not year dependent.
    The second option that you maintained is the way how the Posting Periods are maintained.
    Against the Same Posting period variant, you can have your open and closed periods and years maintained year after year.
    Generally, you keep only 1 period in a year open, the current period, and at the most 2-3 periods in some cases, and that you can easily maintain in Range.
    Hope this clarifies..

  • Delta extraction of modified data in already closed periods

    Hi everyone,
    we're currently facing a scenario where data in BI does not seem to match R/3. We're using the business content extractors 0ec_pca_3 & 0ec_pca_4 to get data for a balance sheet report, but some of the figures don't match. The client currently uses periods 001 - 013, in other words they have one special period. After much investigation and discussions with the users, we found out that the client sometimes goes back and makes changes to periods that have already been closed. For instance, period 013.2007 is closed in R/3 (and loaded to BI), at some point in 2008 the client "reopens" the period and modifies the data. This data does not seem to be picked up by the BI delta extractor. So our theory is that the two systems don't balance because of this late period modification. My questions are:
    Is it part of standard SAP FI process to re-open an already closed period and add/change/delete data?
    If so, would this changes be picked up by the standard delta extraction? If not why and is there anything we can do to achieve this?
    If not part of standard process, what would the solution be? We've suggested to potentially create a separate period, say period 014, for these changes? Would this be a recommended way forward?
    Thanks for your time.
    Cheers,
    Dion

    0EC_PCA_4 does not support delta right?
    Have you already checked contraints mentioned in these links?

  • Open and Closed periods

    Dear FI experts,
    For FISL, can I say that a closed period can be modified and closed again?
    For example, periods 1-6 have been closed.
    Correction or adjustment need to be done in period 2. Period 3-6 balances are affected. So, how is the adjustment applied to the 6 periods? In this case, a closed period becomes opened again? Is such a scenario possible?
    Thanks

  • Re-opening of Closed period

    Hi,
    I have closed current period 02/2011 and previous period 01/2011 in MMPV.
    Now I need to re-open the current period 02/2011.
    I checked in TCode: MMRV,
    It's showing as Current Period : 02/2011
    Previous Period: 01/2011.
    As in MMPV, if current period is showing as 02/2011,then what could be reason for postings not happening in this period.
    Please provide some solution for this.
    I do not have access rights to change the period in OMSY  and also to OB52.

    Hi Arun,
    In MMRV, I have already checked the check box for Allow postings for the previous period.With this am able to do postings for the period 01/2011.
    But posting is not possible for 02/2011.
    In OB52, the period is given as 12/2011 - 01/2011.
    Thanks,
    Nirmala

  • To  open the closing period...

    Hi all,
          To reverse the period, is there is any other way other than following methods.
    Note that no transaction is done.
    1.Reassignment of Plant
    2.To run SAP note initialization (MM_PI_Note)
    If we remove Plant it makes some problem and for running SAP notes we need Basis and abaper help.
    Any other solution is there...
    Thnks & Regards
    SAP MM User

    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.
    Regards,
    Raman

  • How to open and close period?

    Hi all,
    How can I open and close Period in MM module?
    thanks

    Hello,
    First of all read SAP Note 487381. T-code MMPI. If you don't have a backup or a request saved on development client with the previous period, you may try to modify the record on the table MARV (don't try yourself - discuss with a specialist who know your SAP system). If there isn't any records it won't be a problem!
    Good Luck!

  • How to open a closed conversation in iMessage?

    Hopefully a very dumb question with an easy answer, but how do I open a closed conversation in iMessage? MBA iOS 10.9.5
    I was searching for a term in a specific conversation and when I found it, I shut it down using the "x" button, however, I accidentally hit "x" on the conversation instead of the search field. If I understand correctly, I simply "closed" the conversation.
    But now I can't find it again - where do I go to reopen it?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Apple has some apps that are what is called Sandboxed.
    Sandboxing is a way of protecting the whole System from something happening to one app.
    This means as well as storing the .plists for various apps in the ~/Library/Preferences folder it also has a Read and Write route to the same place.
    In the Finder open the Little House iCon folder (your Home Folder)
    Use CMD+ J keys together.
    In the panel of View Options select the bottom item to reveal the Library Folder (this will make it show all the time)
    Navigate this time to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
    In here you will find the same .plists but you will notice they are Alias versions (they are Aliases to the ones in ~/Library/Preferences)
    Now use the View Menu > Show Path Bar and the details of the folders you have gone through will be sown in iChat and text form across the bottom of the window.
    Right Click the Preferences one and then select Get Info.
    Check you Own this folder and have Permissions th Read and Write to this as well.
    Moving back along the line of icons repeat the above for the Library, Data, com.apple.iChat and Containers folders.
