Linking a Period Indicator to a Posting Period and Document Numbering

Dear All,
Could you please tell me that, what will be the consequences if I do not link a Period Indicator to a Posting Period and use the Period Indicator in any document numbering?

Hi,
The use of the period indicators depends on the accounting practice of the company.
The consequence you will face when you are not using period indicators:
1.Your document numbering series will be continued from year to year,for ex.if your last document numbering series for AP Invoice is 3489 for FY200809,then the starting series for the FY200910 will be 3490.
2.You should perform period end closure before proceeding to the next financial year,which would not be possible(Atleast one month in the new financial yr) as we may need to use adjustment transaction for accounting/auditing purpose
3.Unless you perform year end closure the new series can not be continued,if you continue there must be accepted/explained in the accounts auditing too .
4.But you don't use period indicator,there will not be any necessity to create new document series for every new financial year.
Also check this document on [Period indicators|https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000513532005E] for better understanding.
Hope this is helpful!

Posting Key and Document type

Hello,
I have just detected an inconsistency in one of my SAP environment (Development). I have an invoice posted from the SD module, document type of this invoice is RV.
If there is a reason to cancell this invoice, the transaction used is VF11. The document type in SD for this cancellation is S1. Thereafter an FI document is generated with document type AB.
Even though the settings in both Production and Acceptance and Developement are the same.
I have realised that the initial document when cancelled (reversed) has an FI document RV and posting key 11. whiles in customizing the settings for posting keys and document types are different from what has been customized. Below is my current settings.
The posting key 01 has a reversed posting key 12 and the document type RV has a reverse document type AB. This customizing is in correct in SPRO.
Transactions : OB41 and OBA7
Can anyone help on this....
Thanks
Elvis

Hello,
Did you verify whether AB document type in OBA7 is marked in "Account Types allowed" the Customer checkbox?
If not, maybe that is why it is not selecting AB as the reversal document type for RV, even though it is set up in RV document the AB document type as reverse document type.
Other than this (if the mentioned above doesn't solve your issue), I would say there should be any user-exit that can be changing the document type, according to some specific business rule of your SAP client or even a substitution.
I hope it helps you.
Regards,
Daniel.

AR Aging Report does not change with Posting, Due, and Document selections

It appears to me that when you run the AR Aging report with the same date ranges in each of the date selection fields, Posting, Due and Doument, you do not get a different display of aging buckets. Does this report always display data based on Due Date?

Hi Bill,
When you run the AR Aging report change "Age by" option and check aging buckets are changing or not it has to change.
Thanks,

Drill down on posting date and Document number

Hello Gurus,
In a Bex report, I am looking at account balance on a keydate for a G/L Account. When I drill down based on posting date I do not see any values for the keyfigure 'Account balance as on key-date'....But after I drill down on posting date --> document number I get to see values for thie key figure.
What is this strange behaviour? Kindly explain.
Regards,
KP

Hi KK,
This may be due to the values/quantities having different UOM or currency for different documents/posting date.For example, Usually when there are mixed values like this, the aggregated value is not displayed, instead a '*' is displayed in the report result. However there is a setting in BW where you can mention how to handle such mixed values.
So I suggest you first check the currencies for the amount at the posting date/document level(when you drill down). If they are different then check the settings in the transaction SPRO --> SAP Business Information Warehouse --> Report-relevant settings --> General Reporting settings in the Business Explorer --> Presenting the numeric value in the Business Explorer.
Here check the value maintained for 'Mixed Values'. If it is blank, then this is the reason that no value is displayed.

Link between "Log of posting run" and GL document

Dear all my friends,
is there any table where "Log of posting run" stored ?
if yes, can we link between "Log of posting run" Ref document and GL document ?
i mean, link line item of "Log of posting run" Ref document with line item of GL document (Depreciation document, doctype = AF)
many thanks !
Edited by: Quoc Luc Nguyen on Oct 29, 2008 3:43 AM

Hi.
the link is as always the reference key information (AWKEY). This is partially described in note 890976:
The created accounting documents can also be found by means of Transaction FB03. To do this, you must call the "Document List" function on the initial screen of the document display. The Company Code and Fiscal Year fields should then be entered individually. You can also enter 'AMDP' as a Reference Transaction. To find all general ledger documents for a certain reference document number, enter the following selection criterion in the "Reference Key" field:
Reference key = Reference document number + company code + fiscal year
As the company code and fiscal year, you must enter the parameters with which the depreciation posting run was executed.
Example:
- Reference document number from the depreciation posting run 0000001291
- Company code 1000
- Fiscal year 2005
=> Reference key = 000000129110002005
Technically the reference document number is stored in table ANLP. The G/L document (header) is stored in table BKPF.

Markus

IDoc Basic Type needed for FI & CO posting with local & document currency

Hi All,
I am using basic type u201CFIDCCP02u201D which has local and document currency separately and posts to FI and CO segments but without any validations. This results in erroneous entries like posting to a cost center that cost center is not linked to company code.
Is there a basic type that I can use which posts to FI and CO with all validations similar to t-code FB01 and have fields to post local and document currency separately?
Thanks,
Leo

Hi Umesh,
Select 'Display Currency' button
Choose Local currency radiobutton and click Enter.
Let me know if it worked.....

Marking posting and document date mandatory in REM backflush.

Hi PP Gurus,
Here the requirement is to make Posting date and Document date in Transaction code MFBF **mandatory* without any default entry*. Right now system is populating Current date as Posting date as well as Document date. We checked user exit XMRM0001 but we don't know the functionalities of function modules available with this User exit. We also checked Screen variants using Transaction code SHD0 but it is not working, we think it is due to Posting date and Document date are already mandatory through program (might be).
What will be possible best solution?
Waiting for your prompt and kind replies.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi Siva,
The requirement is to remove Posting date and Document date. That is because in this scenario one day latter backflush is there, we mean to say today's production will be confirmed tomorrow.
The thing is we can achieve the same using Manufacturing Date field in MFBF screen and other confirmation screens too if SLED is active for that material in Material master record. But here in this case we are not using the this.
That's why I posted my requirement to forum.
We resolved the issue doing some changes in standard program for object R3TR-FUGR-BARM after getting access key from SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Posting date and posting periods

HI Experts,
I am practicing IDES for SD. While using T VL02N for post good Issue I got this error:
<b>Posting only possible in periods 2006/12 and 2006/11 in company code 1000
Message no. M7053
Diagnosis
The posting date entered is not within one of the permitted posting periods (current period/previous period).
This can be due to one of two reasons:
The correct current period has not been set in the system.
For the system, the first of the entered periods is the current period. At the beginning of a new period, your systems administrator must change the current period in the material master record, using the function "Shift periods". This has not yet been done.
You have entered a wrong date in the field "Posting date".
Procedure
Check the posting date and correct it if necessary. If your input is correct, inform your systems administrator that the "period shifting" (period-end closing) process has not yet been completed. Copied from M8022</b>
I don;t think there is problem with my posting date. Can someone guide me on how solving this
Thanks
Yael

Go to OMSY and check the periods are current peiods or not to ur comp code?
If it is not the current period.
close the posting period by going to MMPV.
let us say comp code EG, YEAR-2006 PE-6
so you have to close the posting periods for all months till this month.
from comp code-EG
To comp code- EG
period-7
fiscal year-2006
repeat the same but with period-8(month) 9,10,11,12,
and do the same for 2007 too till you get the current month in OMSY T-Code.
you need to do close the period end of every month.
thank you

Exit for to restict Non-leading ledger posting periods for Document Type SA

Hi,
Please give the guidelines to complete the following requirment.
In SAP FI two ledgers Leading(0L), Non-Leading (J2) Posting periods are defined in OB52.
If non-leading ledger is closed also it will take the Leading posting periods and Posting the document..
This is the SAP Behaviour.
Like in FB50L if we enter J2 (Non-Leading) it will display the erro message like
Posting period in not open.
Like that they want for FB70,FB75,MIGO,MIRO,FINT and Invoice(VF01).
Please suggest the suitable exit.
Thanks & Regards,
Padmaja.

Hi Ramu,
Please refer the below points,
1. Leading ledger is only one ledger in one client.
2. In one client you can keep N of non leading ledgers.
3. company codes are need assign to non leading ledgers.
4. All postings will update leading ledger by default.
5. Non leading ledgers will update if company code is assigned to non leading ledger.
6. If you want to post only non leading ledger then please use the tcode FB50L and FB01L.
7 You can set the separeate fiscal year variant for non leading ledger.
I hope above information will resolve you r issue.

Link b/w credit horizon period and pricing proceadure

Hi Gurus
what is the link between credit horizon period and pricing proceadure.

Hi there,
Also check in OVA8 what is the horizion in Dynamic credit check for your credit control area.
Could be that the system is defaulting the horizion from there.
But as per standard, for your case system willnot check the orders that are due for delivery after 2 months. It will consider the orders that are due for delivery only within the 2 months of the order date.
So check the delivery due date is within the 2 months period or after the 2 months.

Posting periods and account segmentation

the company has several suboffice/division, but they want all under one company in B1. also they receive some of they invoices 2 months lates. Data migration will go back 2 years. So what is best way to set up posting period and account segmentation.

Hello,
Take a look at this thread and copied to your notepad :
Division in SAP Business One
about how to create suboffice/division.
The posting period can be created go back more than 1 years from now as long when performing data migration, do not forget to set the current period that match with your data dates. The invoices and other opening balances can be migrated using DTW templates.
So, I suggest you could create posting period more than 2 years ago in the last time and create 2 segmented accounts consists of sub office and division beside natural account. E.g. :
12111-01-02 : 12111 is natural account, 01 is suboffice code and 02 is division.

In de update rules from infosource to datatarget you fill the rules like this:
For 0FISCYEAR:
result = comm_structure-fiscper(4).
For 0FISPER3
result = comm_structure-fiscper+4(3).
Note that this can also be done by using formula's. If you can't ABAP you may prefer to use formula's.
