Hi,
Special Posting Periods are those time blocks which are used for closing entries. These 4 special posting periods can be used as follows. But there is no hard and fast rule that these periods should be used only for the following.
13 u2013 To be used from close of the year till the preparation of draft accounts for submission to auditors.
14u2013 entries passed based upon audit observations
15u2013 entries passed based on the adjustments approved by Board of Directors viz., declaration of dividend and transfer to reserves.
16u2013 if accounts are rejected by shareholders & books are to be reopened.(unlikely event)

Inversion documents when using the special Periods with FYV K4

Hello All,
            I have posted some documents in Period 12 and they are not inverting in period1. we are using the FYV as K4 which is 12 periods plus 4 special periods. My business requirement is whatever the documents posted in Period12 to Period 16, they need to be inverted in Period1.
            I have tried all different combinations and permitation by changing the consolidation frequency, Document types and tasks. But there is no use and SAP also replied back as per the below. So please help if you have any information regarding this issue.

Dear Jags,
There is no special handling of the 'special' periods regarding invers-
ion.
The period initialization task just considers the closing frequency,
which is assigned to the respective task.
According to this frequency, it inverts the previous closing period.
If you use the closing frequency monthly, which contains
also the special periods 13-16, then the following logic applies:
period of execution / inversion period of original document
01 16
02 01
03 02
04 03
05 04
06 05
07 06
08 07
09 08
10 09
11 10
12 11
13 12
14 13
15 14
16 15
If the closing frequency contains also the special periods, please
execute the period initialization task also in all special periods.
I hope this helps to answer your question. If so, please confirm this
message. For additional questions regarding that topic please turn to

          Issue: I am unable to invert the doc in period1.
         Even I tried with 2 different doc types and 2 different Flexible upload methods. But there is no use.
          TEST2 task is showing up in period13 only in the cons monitor

                   It is inverting in period1 part of the period initialization task, so here there is no issue from the beginning.

Hi,
would like to seek for your advice as below question/problem.
a) User now is doing the year end closing. Normally the closing is up to the period 12 and for the purpose of track the adjustments made by the management and auditors user post to period 13 2008 from the pervious financial year. Our concern is when perform the GL Balance carry forward to new fiscal year which is 2009 does the system carry forward the GL adjustment figure from period 13 to the new fiscal year on top of that when we perform the GL balance carry forward to new fiscal year 2009 and later on find out there is an audit adjustment that need to done and user post in the period 13 fiscal year 2008 can the adjustment auto post to the new fiscal year?
b) Can we change the Rec account in the vendor master as currently user need to change the vendor from difference Rec account which from joint venture to subsidiary account code? If involve the SPRO configuration how where should we configure? After we change the configuration does all the posting from one Rec account subsidiary will auto post to another Rec account Joint venture?
Kindly advice.

Hi,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
a)could you provide the path/T-code to view the vendor master activity screen layout configuration field status for reconciliation account should be Optional.
b)Beside,what the impact of change the reconciliation account from one to another? It is neccesary/must to do the balance sheet adjustment for change the reconcilation account?
Can we post the balance through the manual JV (F.02)with the document type is ZD(Debit Note) to post the balance of old reconciliation account to the clearing account and then change of the reconciliation account to the new account then reverse the posting of the JV? By doing so what is the impact in the system? In this scenarion do we need to do the balance sheet adjustment?
c) You mention balances from the old recon will not be posted to the new reconcilation account unless I do a balance sheet adjustment it is mean after I run the balance sheet adjustment the balance from the old reconcilation account will auto post to the new reconcilation? What other impact will effect the system?
d) If the company never run the balance sheet adjustment before and due to the scenerion mention above they run the balance sheet adjustment for the first time what are the impact in the system for the company that only have one business area and also for the company which have more than one business area?

e) Change of reconcilation account does it related/impact to the account group of vendor master?
Please help.

Special period postings

HI
What are the Special periods, kindly suggest me how can I post the Special period
posting,
with regards
Arun Kumar

Dear Arun,
Financial year(for ex. 2008-09) is closure means all your accounting treatment for that year have been done and system will not allow you to post any accounting transaction in that year. Now your books of accounts are required to be audited, if any adjustment for any expenses or other is required to be made? then what will you do because fiscal year(for eg. 2008-09) is closed? Here you will use special period.
If you want to use special period the put any date of the 12th period in posting period. For eg. in India last fiscal period in March.
So,for eg. put 31.03.2009 in posting period. and manually insert 13 in the period (you can use any period like 13,14,15,16) and carry on your transaction you posting will be updated in special period.
Regards,
Chintan Joshi.

Include Special Periods into 12th period for Virtual InfoCube(0FIGL_VC1)

Dear SDN,
The following update routine is perfectly working for 0FIGL_C01 InfoCube...
But some reports developed with 0FIGL_VC1 InfoCube....Still Special Periods are coming....
The update routine could look like the following if it is 0FISCPER:
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-FISCPER+5(2) > '12'.
CONCATENATE COMM_STRUCTURE-FISCPER(4) '012' INTO RESULT.
ELSE.
RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-FISCPER.
ENDIF.
I want to eliminate special periods problem in 0FIGL_VC1 InfoCube also...
All Special Periods should be in the 12 th Period..
I have included code in the Update rules level ...
But similarly how to do in the Virtual InfoCube, Which does not have update rules...
Help will be greatly appreciated with points...
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply,
But here i am getting Special Periods for Virtual InfoCube...Whereas 0FIGL_C01--- Special Period problem resolved....
I am also not understanding how come in 0FIGL_VC1 -- Special periods problem still existing..
Pls provide a solution
Thanks

Can posting with Special Periods possible 4 other than Last posting period?

Hi Gurus,
My client is following a calendar year specific fiscal year (JAN TO DEC). Now, is it possible to post accounting documents or any documents giving any of the 4 special periods and with posting date as that of March? This is for income tax purpose...
Fiscal Year Variant USED is K4.
Regards
Deepak

Hi,
This is not possible, as the period has a conversion attached to it internally, i.e., the period is derived from the posting date, as such the special periods (13-16) will only remain in the period field of the document when the posting date is in December. Else it will be overwritten by the posting date period.
If you are in a non-ECC system, you may look at building an April to March ledger in Special purpose ledger, which will have its own balance carry forward and adjustment postings for the tax year. The SL uses the same postings from the FI ledger, however you can set a different fiscal year variant for the special ledger, so April will become period 1 in SL, while remaining 4 in FI.
Cheers

Special periods in BCS

Hi All
Can anyone please explain me as to How BCS treats the Special posting period entries which are posted in ECC in period 13,.
Which configuration settings are required in BCS to support and use the special periods.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Actually, there is almost nothing special with special periods in BCS. They are almost the same as usual periods.
One need just to configure the proper Cons frequency and period categories.
Doing this one should take into account presence in the system of document types to be inverted in the next fiscal year. Because your settings for Cons frequency and period categories are to determine when the fisc year ends and when begins (=> and when the inversion should take place).
You may find several discussion in the forum on this regard.

Special period for commitement

hello,
we want to size prices for a third period 2006 in the transaction kp26.
we cant and we have the following message:
Period 13 is not allowed for the planning period.
I already customize 12 normal periods and 1 special in ob29 and for the analytical perimeter.
for real costs i have 13 periods but still 12 for commitment.
could you help me?
thank you

You can do planning only in the normal periods as you have defined in the T/code:ob29.You cant do planning in the special period.But in special periods you can post the actuals.[The year end adjustment entries etc are all done in the special period.].
The concept of planning itself is to have a projected figure for comparison and control.you have determined [ in ob 29] that your working calender will have 12 periods;as such you can plan for these periods only.
Special period is not a part/ a period of the fiscal year.It is the area in which your auditors,etc can work and post the adjustment entries.Please note that the entries in the special period itself should pertain to these [ normal ]12 periods.In other words you can not construe the special period as an extended fiscal year.
If you want to post/plan for the 13 th period,change your fiscal year variant to have 13 normal periods.Also note that you can have only one fiscal year variant for a company code.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Ramesh

AFAB posting end of the year on period 13 instead of 12

Hello,
I've this request from accounting department. They would like to post depreciation for area 01 on special period 13 instead of 12 and with the following dates:
DOCUMENT DATE: 15.04.xx+1 (following year)
POSTING DATE: 31.12.xx
This because in Italy depreciation postings are part of documents for closing, and will have to appear in document journal of the following year (in month Balance approval).
Now, how can I make tr. AFAB post depreciation document with this logic?
Thanks a lot,
regards
Chiara

Thanks Srinivas but I cannot use period 13 in planned depreciation mode for trx. AFAB, if before I've not posted already on period 12.
I would like not to pass through period 12, but directly post area 01 on period 13 even for planned depreciation.
As for dates, how can I make the system takes another date (15.04.xx+1) during batch input posting? Do I have to use an exit? which one?
thanks again and regards
Chiara

Use of special periods if SAP

Dear guruz,
Please help to get more information about posting in special periods (13-16) in SAP.
We have following situation:
After year end closing we need to audit our financial statements for external use (IFRS). As audit lasts several months I cannot afford to leave the balances of new year unuploaded. So I perform the balance carry forward procedure before the audit starts.
Now I'd like to add some corrections in audited reporting by use of special posting periods.
My questions are:
-does these postings, performed after balance carry forward procedure affect on accounts in future (is this possible to face with problems in the future); Do I have to repeat the balance carry forward procedure?
-is this possible to divide all the postings (for internal reporting and for audited reporting) to be able to see these balances in standard SAP reports (such as S_ALR_87012300 "GL account balances" and so on) with and without postings made by use of special periods in previous years.
respect,
Oleg.

1. I don't think that assumption is correct. Bal. c/f program can be run multiple times. Also, once bal. c/f program is run, if you make any postings in the previous year they are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year. Here is the bal. c/f program documentaton.
This program is used to carry forward the balances of the general ledger or another ledger to the new fiscal year.
The program can be run multiple times.
Normally, the program does not need to be run more than once, since postings to the previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year, if the balance carry forward program has already been run.
Generally, the balance is carried forward as follows:
Balance sheet accounts are transferred with all additional account assignments.
P&L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings account. Additional account assignments are not transferred. The transaction currencies are not transferred and are totaled in the local currency.
2. In your case, if you are using new GL, you can create a non-leading ledger and post audit adjustments only to the non-leading ledger. You regular postings for the year hit both the leading (0L) and non-leading ledgers.
3. I am not good at asset accounting - so I can't answer your question on depreciation for audit adjustment postings.

R/3 GL special periods - SAP standard purposes?

Hi All,
Is there a standard purpose for each of the special periods in the K4 fiscal year variant (12 monthly periods plus 4 special periods)?
I understand that these can be used for ay purpose, eg year end adjustments, audit adjustments etc. but is there a standard guide from SAP as to what each of p13, 14 , 15 & 16 is for?

Hi
These special periods are available at the end of posting period 12. They are used for 1st close , 2nd close etc.
When they close the period 12 it is called rough cut. This is before passing adjustment entries in the books.
Then adjustment entries are passed and again the books will be closed for this special period. As saia Radha the authorization is available only people who are involved in closing process. Again except GL (S) all the other module will be closed for postings since most of the time special period postings are affected only in GL. Furtther these posting periods are available only at the end of the period 12. Special posting periods are optional.

Special Periods and Variable Offset

Our fiscal year variant includes 12 periods and one special period (Period 13). I created a rolling 12 month query which uses variable offsets to define each column. If the user enters 3/2006, I would expect to see the next columns to show 2/2006, 1/2006, 13/2005, 12/2005....
Instead the query ignores the special period and jumps directly from 1/2006 to 12/2005 - therefore the postings for Period 13, 2005 are not displayed. From what I've found so far this is standard SAP BW functionality, but has anybody had any luck getting around this?
Thank you.

Jeff,
If I enter 13/2005 into the leading column variable, I can see that there are transactions posted to Period 13 which are not included in the results of Period 12. We have another query where the user can enter a period range using an interval variable for 0FISCPER (i.e. from Period 10/2005 to Period 2/2006) and it brings back results for Period 13/2005. However this other query that uses the variable offset to define the rolling periods does not return the Period 13 results. I thought about adding Period 13/2005 to Table T009B, but I would prefer not to set this up in BW without doing the same in R/3, and I'm not quite sure about the implications of adding an extra (not special) period to the Fiscal Year variant in R/3.
Sven,
I use 0FISCPER for posting period, and I created a structure for the twelve periods. There is a variable (0P_FPER) for current posting period in the first column, and the rest of the columns use offsets to go back the 12 months. For example the second column is (0P_FPER - 1), the third column is (0P_FPER - 2), etc. It seems that my problem is related to the fact that the offset ignores the special periods, while the fiscal period interval variable recognizes these periods.
Thanks very much to both of you for your replies!

Depreciation run with special period

We require 2 set of FS reports:-
1.) FS as at 14/12/2007
2.) FS as at 31/12/2007
We have use the following period to derive the the reports
1.) Period 12 (Transactions 1st - 14th Dec 2007)
2.) Period 14 ( Transactions 15th - 31st Dec 2007)
Q1.)Should Dec depreciation run on period 14?
Q2.) If yes, will the depreciation run capture the depreciation from 1st - 31st Dec 2007?
Q3.) We have tried to run Dec depreciation in period 14 but error "According to the posting cycle, you should post period 012 next."
Pls advise
1.) Steps to run Dec 2007 depreciation in order to capture the whole month depreciation.
2.) Which period to open in OB52.
Kindly assist as this is urgent. Points will be rewarded. Thank you

Dear Hari,
Thank you for the helpful points. Rewarded.
FYI, our cut off date is 14th Dec 2007. Any transactions after this date will go to period 14. In OB52, we set only period 14 open to block user from posting to other periods. Will this affect the depreciation run (given scenario where we run AFAB for period 12)?
When we run AFAB for period 12, this is the error we get:
Period 12 is not allowed
Message no. F5567
Diagnosis
The period entered (12) is different from the period calculated (14) and is also not in the interval for special periods (013 to 016).
System Response
Error.
Procedure
Correct the value entered for the posting period.
What shoud we do?

Special Period

Hello Experts!!
I am having one confusion regarding special period.
Example:
Our fiscal year is from January to December.
Suppose we have carried forward the all balances of GL, Customers and Vendors for the Year 2007.
Now we have posted the entries in the year 2008. At present, settings in OB52 are as follow.
From period (11-2008) To period (12-2008)
and for special period (13-2008 to 16-2008)
Now my question is, according to above settings, still we can make the adjustment postings in the December, 2007. am i right?
if yes then, will they affect the opening and closing balance of 2008?
Now another question, if we carry forward the balance of 2008 and we want to make the adjustment posting for December, 2007 then the system will allow me to do adjustment posting after doing the following settings?
From period (11-2008) to period (12-2008)
Special Periods (13-2009 to 16-2009)
Please clarify this situation.....
Regards,
Jimmy

You can forward the closing balances once the fiscal year is closed. And closing of fiscal year means, closing of posting as well as special periods.
You will not be able to pass any adjustment entry after forwarding the balances And it is not advisable to reopen the fiscal year once it is closed after making adjustment entry.
