Automating Month-end accounting processes

Hi All
I'm a SAP FI-CO consultant in the UK. I need to develop an automated month end procedure (preferably using Schedule Manager) in SAP for one of my client.
I would also like to automate the 'period change' in FI, MM etc. Client is widespread geographically, and I wonder if anybody have a solution of managing period end procedure keeping in mind the time differences. I could elaborate further to someone interested.
Thanks very much for your time.

plz guide me in this regard.
with regard,
LN

Hi,
From PP side nothing is required.
The month end activities are the responsibility of CO people.
Unlike Production Orders, no need of closing of Pl. orders or some thing like that..
All the month end activities are related to the PCC.
Hope this clarifies..

Should IT be doing month end close procedures for accounting?

This was not something that I was made aware of when hired. We have our own accounting, purchasing, sales, CSR, Operations departments. Most of those folks have been here 5-20 years. The one lady who used to do these procedures wouldn't ever teach anyone in accounting to do it. She barley let them run a report without her having to click the button. It is a huge control issue. I have since come in to replace her. She has been with this company for 30+ years and has basically put all this on herself to make her seem important while becoming a huge hurdle to the rest of the business. She basically does all or the purchasing(contract, special pricing, etc) and then for some reason decided to take it upon herself to do accountings job and never taught the correct people how to correctly do their jobs. She also claimed to be the IT person....

Once a month I am asked to come in on the weekend and close the monthly books for accounting as well as perform all other month end close procedures, reports, billings etc. The company I work for has 4 people in the accounting department and I am the sole IT person. No one in accounting ever comes in to do this procedure. It is just put onto IT once a month. This is so far out of my normal realm and have never been asked to do this at any other company that I have worked for in the past 25 years. I can take a server apart and put it back together blindfolded, I can code in over a dozen languages, etc., but honestly I feel lost when it comes to accounting. My brain just doesn't work that way. If things go wrong I don't even begin to know what to ask as far as what I'm even doing to be able to fix an issue or problem. This just doesn't...

Month end closing question from a DBA

Hi all,
I am a DBA not a functional setup person/Business Analyst; so excuse me if my question is not put in business terms.
We have an 11.5.10.2 that operates in US, Canada, Peru, China and Australia. Each of these have their own Set of Books. When the time comes to do month end closing, our finance people tell all incl our US and other countries branches to stop the following transactions on the system while month end closing is going on:
•     Inventory
o     Pick, pack and ship for SO’s and Internal Req’s
o     Receiving of PO’s, Internal Req’s and OSP
o     Subinventory transfers
o     Consignment consumption
o     Inventory adjustments
•     WIP
o     WIP moves and completions
•     Accounts Receivable
o     Cash applications
o     Invoicing of any shipping activity past cutoff o     Manual invoices and credits
•     Accounts Payable
o     Invoice entry and cancellation
o     Manual or batch payment runs
Question that I have is: how can month end closing be done where each of these countries could freeze these activities for their last day of month when last day of month starts obviously earlier in Australia and China compared to US, Canada and Peru? As of now, they all seem to follow the last day of the month procedure as the US. It takes about 7 hours for the whole process to run.
All comments/suggestions welcome.
Thanks,

Hello.

As you can see, i cannot find similar situation. My database has data since 1998. Perhaps we are using different APPS versions, mine is 11.5.10.2

Reversal is only possible after CO month end closing

I am getting the error Reversal is only possible after CO month end closing while doing partial or full confirmation. I had already checked the OKP1 the period is open. Also in MMRV it is fine. Please suggest what could be the reason for this error.
With Regards
Tarun

HI
Yes u are right it is a custom message starting with Z. The message is as below:
Msg.typ Application Area     MsgNo Name of Area of Responsibility Spec.ResAr Number   Numer.

Message Text
E       Z1                   025                                                  1        1
Reversal is only possible after CO-month end closing !
In detail analysis the only details are
Reversal is only possible after CO-month end closing !
Message no. Z1025
Also when i do the back button the message i am getting is
Error in determining actual costs for order. The detail analysis for the same is
Error in determining actual costs for order 70076492
Message no. RU085
Diagnosis
The actual costs could not be determined correctly due to incorrect or missing data.
System Response
The determination of actual costs is terminated.
However, the confirmation itself can be saved. Error records are written for a subsequent determination of actual costs. Using these error records, the determination of actual costs can be repeated once the original causes of the errors have been removed.
The transaction COFC for reprocessing the determination of actual costs can be found, for example, using the menu options "Logistics -> Production -> Production Control -> Confirmation -> Reprocessing -> Actual Costs."
However, it is not possible to write error records for run schedule headers, QM orders or header confirmations. In this case, the confirmation transaction must be terminated because a subsequent determination of actual costs is not possible.
Procedure
You can find the exact cause of the termination of the determination of actual costs in the error log for actual cost determination.
You can switch the error log on and off using the variable parameters.
