Depending on the requirement
May be you can open it for a specific Cons Group(assuming User has authorization for that group) which translates back to opening it for specific user only
If user needs to work on more than 1 cons groups & has authorization then a step by step approach will help

Allowed OB52 based on company code
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 :-
Goto SE93, Create a new transaction code ZOB52_000X
Start object - Transaction with parameters (parameter transaction)
Transaction SM30, Tick Skip initial screen
Name of screen field       Value
VIEWNAME                     ZV_T001B_000X
UPDATE                           X
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.

purna

          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.

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.

Error in Opening Posting Period in MM

Dear Gurus,
I am facign an error when i am opening a posting period in MM. In MMPV, when i open the Period and execute system displays the following error message:
Client 300
Period Entered : 112009
Log
ABEND
MMPV_Date_Check Error Occured (See note 1082841)
Transaction MMPV (period closing program) cannot be executed . For more infomation see note 1082841.
Kindly provide me with the solution .
thanks in advance....

Below is straight from the OSS note. You need to set the parameter id MMPV_READ_NOTE to current date for yourself or change the number of days in CKMLMVADMIN-KDATA to 999 (for example) and then you will be able to do. Probably better to set the parameter id for yourself and suitable colleagues only:
This note provides a feature to prevent using MMPV to shift into a future period. This feature is activated automatically after implementing this note and works with our without Material Ledger active. MMPV can continue only if the new period is within 10 days (by default but is configurable) away from the current date in the system. Otherwise, it will terminate and no change will be made.
To disable this feature, you must set parameter ID MMPV_READ_NOTE with the current date in the user parameters in form YYYYMMDD (Y = year, M = month, D = day).
To change the number of days to a value other than the default (10 days), set the following entry in table CKMLMVADMIN:
KKEY : MMPV_NUMBER_DAYS_ALLOWED
KDATA : <number of days MMPV is allowed>
Only integers are allowed, with 0 meaning MMPV is allowed only on or after the first day of a new period. If the value is greater than the actual number of days in a period then it means MMPV is allowed for the entire month. Any invalid entry in the KDATA field will be ignored and the default value will be used.

Nick

How to change posting period for a company code

Hi Gurus,
In MIGO while doing goods receipt i get this error " Posting only possible in periods 2006/05 and 2006/04 in company code 3000"
How to change the posting period.
I have serched in SDN, i tried transaction MMPV, and OB52 but i am not able to change as i dont know the basics of the screen as i am ABAPER.
Can u tell me how to change. or give sme link with some snapshots.
Thanks

hi
I think you need to check your fiscal year varian before you do the MMPV. Fiscal year is set up by the FI consultant and it is deciding in which fiscal year period your current month belongs to.(Transaction -OB29)
Ex:
if you use K4 fiscal year variant then this october month is treated as 2010-07 period. Because the fiscal year starts from April and 2010 fiscal year starts from 2009 april.
Calendar Year                 Fiscal year
2009 april                =       2010 - 01
2009 may                =       2010 - 02
2009 Oct                 =       2010 - 07
So first get the fiscal year and period accurately (I suggest get it from your FI guy) and put it in the MMPV
If you accidentally close a wrong period dont forget to follow these notes too.

How to hide posting periods?

Hi,
I'm just wondering how one can hide posting periods that is not in use anymore? The system doesn't have that option as far as I can see, but I'm wondering if it's even possible?
These posting periods are under Administration - System initialisation - Posting periods.
After one has had SAP for a while, the posting periods are quite many. So we had a question from a customer asking how to hide the ones they're not using anymore (for instance periods from 4-5 years back).
Hope that you can help me to figure this out!
Br,

Hi,
If just looking for correct posting period or find the correct posting period, move your mouse to the posting period window in what ever field or row of posting period, just right click and select filter table. In the filter table, just specify the posting period you want to find. It is more easy. Just use filter table feature. E.g. of the finding 2006-01:
in the filter table window:
the column Field : period code
the column Rule : Equal
the column Value : 2006-01
The value can be entered manually. you do not need to select / scroll down. Good luck.

How to open previous period

Hi all,
   Can any one please let me know, is it possible to open the period in the previous year. If so, please let me know the details.
thanks & regards
Chaitanya

Hi,
     Using MMPI, i have faced the message "Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization".
Further i have gone thru this note which specifies two points:
1) The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.
2) The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
   Can you please confirm whether loss of information indicates loss of accounting data or only information. Please provide the details of the consequences with the opening of any previous period.
thanks & regards

How to extend Posting period ??

Dear All,
My client wants us to extend the posting period from jan to next year's march, it means he wants the posting period more then a year,is it possible in SAP b1????

hello Angranshu...
Yes you can make a posting period extend beyond the year BUT there is a trick to it...
Create a posting period with code and name of "15 Months", Sub Periods of "Year". First time through put in the Post, Due, and Doc Dates of 01/01/2010 to 12/31/2010 and then "Add".
Then open up the posting period again and change all of the dates to 03/31/2011, enter "Update" and the dates will take...
I just did this in test system and it worked fine...
Hope that helps - Zal

Opening Posting Periods

Hi Gurus,
Please guide me regarding the opening of the posting period.
Actually i closed the wrong period in MMPV, i.e instead of closing the 09/2007 period i closed 10/2007.Which opens the 11/2007 period .
Is there any way i can open the current period which is 10/2007.
Please guide me its very urgent.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.
Bhasker

Hello,
This thread i found , following reply is given by Steve Brichall , Pls go thru this
" The system is simply indicating that your current period is an old one and you have to step through from this old period to the current period if it is more than one period old.
For example if you are currrently in period 07 2007 and the system is set to period 04 2007 then you have to use MMPV to get it to period 05, then use it agin to get it to period 06 then use it to get to period 07.
If the message is indicating that the period in the system is VERY old and if this system is just a development system or a play (sand pit) client. Then use MMPI to initialise the period to the current one. (you will need to add a parameter to your user id to do this, the parameter id is "MMPI_READ_NOTE" and you give it a value of 20070716 (current date).
You maintain this in your user settings (System > User Profile > Own data click on the parameters tab, add the parameter MMPI_READ_NOTE with the current date as above.
Then you can run MMPI with the current date and open the current period.
But NEVER use MMPI in a live and running system."
