OB52 and MMPV

Hi,
I am having a query on the posting periodsin OB52.
I am aware that ob52 is a screen where we can open and close the posting periods.
If I have a posting peroiod variant Z and I have assigned +(account type) then am not in need of metioning the from and to accounts and I would give the from and to periods i.e,From period 11 Year 2010 to Period 12 Year 2010.
If I give the same Z posting period variant , Account type K/D and the account range 100501 to with the From period 10 Year 2010 to Period 10 Year 2010.
It allows the Customer and vendor postings for period 10.
BUt in Account type + we have give 10 as a closed period.
Please explain me the logic in detail.
Also please let me know why MMPV has not allowed opening of back periods while OB52 does.
I am aware that if period in MMPV is open and the same period is not open in FI , it will not be able to post, similarly the same case with co, Asset amanagement also.
Please let me know if I am correct.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Hi Shilpa ,
1. IN OB52 we assigned period were FI entry may be made . SAP has segregated the configurations by account type ..
The reason is that after month end closing... your FI entry was be made for previous month .. but materials movement must not take place ( reason explained later again ).
Similarly , you may have closed the FI periods .. but you need to pass on provision entry on accounts receivable as per auditor guildlines... then you can just open category "Account Receivables " and keep other period closed ..so that no other entry is possible ..
"+" sign will close/open all the periods .. Specific period also needs to be open also .. if you need to post .
2. Also please let me know why MMPV has not allowed opening of back periods while OB52 does
Its not a SAP logic but a accounting/audit/legal laws logic . Can you record sales on a back date ??? Can you produce goods at a back date ??? You cannot do that .. your excise laws and sales tax laws never allows that .. You revenue recognization principle will go for a toss..
Hence , MMPV can not be made to a back date normally.. can be done only in special cases using a OSS Note..
Hope it clarifies

Diff F.13-F.19 and MMPV-MMPI

Hai Can any one tell me diff.. between F.13 and F.19 and MMPV and MMPI
i know that F.13and F.19 used to clear GR /IR account but in which
situation we will use this t-codes
In the same way we use to close/open posting periods in MM we use MMPV
or MMPI but in which situation we use this t-code
And what is parameters for executing F.31
Thanks and Regards
Surendra babu.

I'm not an MM person (FI) - but it's my understanding....
MMPV/MMPI are used at month end to open and/or initialize the material master posting periods (so that GR and IR can be posted) in these periods.
F.13 We automated weekly for GRIR clearing by assignment field (PO #). This clears the GR against the IR if both exist.
F.19 An interesting T-code - I'm not totally clear on this t-code, but it appears to be something like an accural at month end and the reversal of this the 1st day of the next month for "Invoiced but not yet delivered" or "Delivered but not yet invoiced". If you run this (which I don't think many companies actually run), select the OPEN ITEM only on the selections tab. Otherwise, you'll see all (even postings that can't occur due to them being cleared already by F.13).

OB52 AND OB08 transactions not working in QAS

Hi All,
My client is upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6.0
Due to not modifiable status two transaction could't be done in the new QUALITY System.
This is IMG activity under the following.
1. OB52 :- Open and Close Posting periods (FA -> FA Global Setting -> Document ->Posting -> Open and Close Postinfg periods
2. OB08 :- Enter Foriegn exchange rate. (Gen Settings) Enter foriegn exchange rate
These transaction are to be executed regularly and directly in the 4.7 but in the present new ECC6.0 system the same is not possible due to non modifiable status. Now for testing in the new system we have to execute the same directly.
Please suggest

Hello,
As your ABAPer to change the V_T001B in SOBJ transaction to Automatically Adjustable and the category would be CUST (client specific)
Hope this will resolve this issue.

Posting Period MMPV

Hello All,
I am trying to post stock to a Material in the MB1C transction.
But I keep getting this message "Posting only possible in periods 2009/06 and 2009/05 in company code SPIL".
I have opened the period in MMPV. Can some one tell me where do we assign the calender to the company code.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sneha.

Dear Sneha
As Mr.Murali pointed out this has to be done in OB52 and MMPV and to see what is the current period you need to see MMRV
Menu path to t code OB52
img-financial accounting new-financial accounting global settings (new)--ledgers-fiscal year and posting periods-posting periods-open and close posting periods(OB52)
First of all you must see what the posting period varient maintained for your company code
This you can see in OBY6 (in processing parameters tab you can see that) and what the fiscal year varient maintained in your company code in t code OBY6
In that take your posting period varient say if it is 1000
Then in OB52 you have to maintain like this
1000--S-blank---zzzzzzzzzz--01-2009-12-2009---13-201016---2010
like this you have to maintain for A,+,D,K,M,V(account types) the second colunmn and do this and save
This is check one
You have to close all the previous periods thro MMPV transaction
For this you first need to see what is the current period in in MMRV
Go to MMRV first and input your company code ans see what is the current period maintained there
As today is feb 11 th 2009 the previous period should look like 01/2009(normal settings) in MMRV and the current period should be 02/2009
That means the period is closed till jan 09
If in MMRV the previous period is say 07/2008 then it means you have to close periods from july 08 to jan 09
for this go to MMPV and input company code code and the date as 01.08.2008 then a log will come that means july is closed and august is open like that 01.09.2008, 01.10.2008, 01.11.2008, 01.12.2008, 01.01.2009 and 01.02.2009 that till feb 09 every month it has to be done
When you input 01.02.2009 in MMPV and execute that means the period jan 09 is closed and (a log will come) and feb 09 is open which you can see in MMRV as the current period as 02/2009 and previous period as 01/2009
Better to take MM help if you are new to this
This is check 2

Raja

Posting in backdate

hi all guru`s
Here Im looking for posting stock in backdate by mb1c.
currently two periods are open april 04 and may 05...I want to post stock on date 31.03.2009
I tried ob52 and mmpv ,mmrv but my issue is not getting solved...plz help...
thanks in advance

How to open closed MM Periods:
T-Code: MMPI - from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field
Then, Remove assignment of Plants from Company Code (In SPRO).
Now use T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.
Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct period is open thru T-Code - MMRV
Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.
Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (for Finished Goods) or any required Material type & then click on the quantity and value update.
Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update

Difference between mmpv and ob52

wat is the difference between mmpv and ob52 and how to close those

MMRV -->
To Check the Current Period in company and to allow
                postings in previous periods.
MMPV -->
To Close the Current Period and to re open the Next
                Period for postings.
OB52 -->
Specifiying which account types
            (Eg.,MMaterial,KVendor etc.,) Are allowed for
postings in Particular periods... i.e., periods and years
No Need to close any thing in OB52.
But, whenever month is completed,
we have to close MM period in MMPV.
To close the previous period Eg.,01,2008,
Enter 02 period, 2008 year
Press Enter and press F8, Then period will be closed.

Open and close posting periods urgent! (ob52)

Hi SAP gurus,
i am trying to post open and close balances (it is spesific to my country) however i do not want users to post to 2007 except me.
how can i achieve this with not blocking all users.
in other words, i need authorization to post last year although it is closed for all users.
note: can you pls explain the difference btw "from period 1" and "from period 2" in OB52. and also there is an authorization group at the last column what does this mean?
thx in advance.

Hi,
If you stand on the field "authorization group" and use "F1" you can find the help on that field, you will find that it is very helpful.
You should define period 2 for all users and period 1 to the restricted users,
Next, you should assigned a free symbol in the field "authorization group" (which refer to period 1), then ask the person that responsible in your organization of the authorization to assign the authorization object F_BKPF_BUP with that specific symbol to the restricted users,
That should do the job.
If that helps, feel free to assign points
Kind regards,
Yoav

Difference between trax MMPV and MMPI

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between transaction codes MMPI and MMPV?
Regards
NDS

MMPI
To use MMPI for period initialization, you need to give the parameter ID MMPI_READ_NOTE in the user ID of the concerned user and give the value as current date in the form YYYYMMDD.
In order to be able to have the period closing program running, you must reserve parameter ID MMPI_READ_NOTE with the current date in the user parameters with the current date in form YYYYMMDD (Y = year, M = month, D = day).
Check rhe following OSS notes for further clarification:
487381, 369637
MMRV -->
To Check the Current Period in company and to allow postings in previous periods.
MMPV -->
To Close the Current Period and to re open the Next Period for postings.

Open and close period

hi all,
i want the details about opening a period and closing a period, can we post a document which is in previous in previous period...
cheers
Amith

Hi,
No, You can not post a document which is in previous in previous period.You can post document in MM side in Current period and Curent minus one period, if set back posting allowed in MMRV.
In T.code: MMRV and you can see which period is open for ur Co.Codeand back posting is allowed or not.In MMPV close the period last period and automatically system open the new one, Its only control in MM Side.
In FI side , they use t.code: OB52 and open the period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type. In FI side you can open period more then two period in OB52 step.
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.For more read the SAP Note:487381 and 369637.
If ur working in SandBoxx u can follow the these steps but not in Production:
1. use t.code OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. use t.code OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.use t.code OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.
But after doing all steps, u can see all G/L assign in OBYC, will be deleted, you have assign again in OBYC.

Hi,
Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Code and back posting is allowed or not.
In MMPV open period 09 with your company code.
Note-1: Check Fiscal Period Variant in OBY6..........is it K4.
Note-2: From FI side check or Now use t.code: OB52 and open the 09, 2009 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save. Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.

Hi Swathi,
Go to OMSY / MMRV and check which month is running against your company code.
Go to MMPV and close the previous period.
Note the Period 1 in the sence April and May 2 follows like this.
Suppose if you want to close the June Month then you have to close the 3. (Ofcourse it depends on Fiscal year dependent).
Now go to OB52 and check the Posting Periods below.
1000     +               1     2002     12     2008     13     2008     16     2008     SPPE

Om52 vs mmpv vs oaaq

hi,
hope to clear my doubts.
1) as already defined account type M and also + in OB52, why also need to close in MMPV?
2) MMPV close by month in any fiscal year? so it is closed monthly basis?
3) what tcode i can see the list of posting periods for MM? MMRV only?
4) no asset account type defined in OB52? which means asset only through OAAQ?
thanks

Hi,
Even though u define in FI the posting periods for material accounts, we need to define the posting periods in MM also.I feel that this is in view of control. At any time you can see two posting periods open in MM in t.code OMSY.Usually MM is closed on monthly basis.
Other T.codes associated are MMPI and MMPV.
Iam not sure the usage of OAAQ-Remove year end closing for company code.
Hope it helps

Open and close posting period

hi gurus my client wanted to block the posting date from 01.03.2007 to 30.03.2007 and only posting date 31.03.2007 should open is it possible in sap.plz help me.
thanks and regrds
dipti

Hi,
You can customise in Fiscal year Varient, If you are maintaining V3 then assign posting period days to March as 30 days and create period 13 as special period. Now you are able to block periods 1 to 12 in OB52 and allow user in posting period 13 (special period) i.e for March 31st
Try it.
