OB52 or S_ALR_87003642

Dear Friends,
We wanted to schedule job for open and close FI period. I did it many times manually through OB52 or S_ALR_87003642. I also did it with ABAP program as backgroudn job.
Can we schedule job with OB52 or S_ALR_87003642 as SAP standard trasnaction? We wanted to do it at Mid Night at period end, just to open next period as background job.
Please advice.
thanks,
Pawan

Hi,
Technically  - yes, why not? But still , you have to develop something...

  • Restrict Open / Close Posting Periods for Users (OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 )

    Hello everybody.
    I'd like to know if there is a way to restrict that some users open posting periods in OB52 or S_ALR_87003642 and some other different users close posting periods.
    Hoping you could help it, as our organization had that policy from our previous system,
    Best regards,
    Elvis E. Henriquez A.

    Hi
    Sorry, but I do not think that's possible in SAP Standard.
    OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 are build around a maintenance view for table T001B. This mean that the access primarily are controlled by the S_TABU_DIS (and S_TABU_LIN) object, and with these object's you can control access to maintain / display only, you can not control the values of the input data.
    I think that you will need to create your own application and authorization object in order to achieve your requirement.

  • FI Close/Open Period: S_ALR_87003642

    Hi,
    Users are doing the UAT for open/close posting period in FI but the system is 'Client xxx has status 'not modifiable' ' and client role is Training and no changes allowd  in SCC4 , kindly let me know what should be status in SCC4 so that system does not prompt for a transport request and at the same carry out the changes to open/close posting period.
    Thanks
    Suresh

    Hi,
    The opening/closing of posting periods is a strictly authorisation issue to be handled by the system administrator or
    a super user identified by the Client.  This is not a transaction where all the users need to be trained.  The
    T.Code ob52 or  S_ALR_87003642   can be authorised  to the specific user only on security grounds.

  • S_ALR_87003642 FI Periods, request, current settings

    Hi all,
    I have a little trouble. After support-packages the system need a request to open and close FI periods with tcode S_ALR_87003642. I've checked the system and I have not found that the current settings in tcode SOBJ por object V_T001B was changed. I've found the note 307222 'generated transactions for current setting' but I think that it is not relevant.
    Any suggestion is wellcomed.
    Thanks in advance.

    PD: I'm sorry, I forgot it, we are in a ECC 50, APPL level 20 (ie: SAPKH50020)

    In ECC.6 a request is generated in Development System for any change in OB52 / S_ALR_87003642, but the standard settings of Production System by Basis resources make it available for change without asking for Transport request.
    Which system requires you the Transport Request on OB52. Is it DEV, QAS or PRD????????

  • Two intervals in Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

    What is the purpose of the two intervals (period 1 and period 2) in Open and Close Posting Periods (transaction OB52)?

    Hi,
    Financial statements cannot be prepared on the last day of the accounting period... to find out the correct profit and to determine the correct financial positing... sometimes you may require to make some adjustment  to accounting records after the closing of the accounting year... like adjustments for expenses payable, income receivable, writting off bad debts ...etc. 
    For posting those transactions....period 2 is maintained ..which are also called as special periods... to make the postings in these periods ...special authorisation is required..... 
    Period 1 is for regular postings ...

  • Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

    Dear Experts,
    My client wants to close the posting period of the previous month. 
    First I went to transaction OB52 to define an entry From Per. 1 2008 To Per. 12 2009 to open all the posting period for the year.  But when the time passes, do I have to manually change the From Per. back to the current month (e.g From Per.1 2008 changed to From Per. 2 2008 and so on)
    If this is the case, is there any way to make this a automatic function to do this.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You define posting periods in your fiscal year variants. You can open and close these posting periods for posting. As many periods as you require can be open for posting simultaneously. Special periods can be open for closing postings during the period-end closing.
    You have the following options for opening and closing posting periods:
    - Posting Period Variants: You can specify which company codes are open for posting in a posting period variant. Posting period variants are cross-company code and you have to assign them to your company codes.
    - Account Type: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account type. This means that for a specific posting period, postings can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts.
    - Account Interval: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account intervals. This means that you only open a posting period for posting to a specific account.
    Path for making the settings for opening and closing posting periods:
    Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Posting Periods
    For detailed example for opening and closing posting periods please refer the link below:
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/96/8b300943ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

  • 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

  • Open and close posting period authorization control TCODE: S_ALR_87003642

    HI All,
    Is there any chance to control the user to open and close another company code posting period variant in TCODE: S_ALR_87003642.
    In our system we are using the same client for different countries. So user can able to change the other country company code posting periods.
    We would like to control either on the country (or) organizational unit(company code) (or) posting period variant so that user can only open/close  their country / company code posting periods.
    Our present authorization role for open and close posting period contain the auth.Obj. : S_TABU_DIS.
    Please share your knowledge if you come across this problem..
    Thanks in advance..

    Hey Sandhya,
    Congratz, this can be done using linbe item authorization with the object S_TABU_LIN.
    Field ORG_CRIT - Value 02
    Field ORG_FIeld1 - Value ZT001B
    We have successfully done it in our client.
    You need to contact your BASIS consultant for this.
    Thanks,

  • OB52 : open and close FI period by sales office

    Dear experts,
    I have a client who wants to open and close FI period by sales office.
    After some researches, I find that itu2019s only possible to create the variants by FI company.
    But what kind of solution I could suggest to the client ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best Regards.
    Nathalie

    hi
    in ob52, you can define periods by account type i.e. A,K,D,M,S.
    in your case if your sales office shall cater to Customers, you can specify those particular Account codes.
    here i assume that a sales office shall cater to only certain group of customer accounts.
    thanks

    Most likely you don't have an authorization - check SU53 transaction.

  • OB52 based on Company Code

    Dear All,
           As we are having several company codes and want users only to be able to open and close periods from transaction code OB52 belonging to their posting period with respect to company codes how can I restrict and allow them open & close periods based on company code repectively. Is there any process this be done.
    I tried with the notes I got from one sap-img link. But it did not work & there something is missing. Kindly if anyone have done this before send be step by step process. Awaiting for you reply...
    regards,
    Raj B...

    How about trying it this way?
    1. Remove access to OB52
    2. Create a maintenance view similar to V_T001B specific for each company.
    3. Create a TCODE for each of these views.
    4. Use this TCODE for authorization assignment.
    This should be simple but your number of views would be increasing with respect to the number of companies.

  • 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.
    Edited by: ashilpa54 on Feb 16, 2011 3:37 AM

    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
    Regards

  • 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.

  • OB52  Stuck

    Why i am recieving this error message ( Attached a screen shot )
    Define OPEN AND CLOSE POSTING PERIODS  OB52
    I created one, saved it.  Discovered a mistake.
    So let's copy another one rename it,  Now error message "
    Entry D002   does not exist in T010O (check entry) "
    Why ?

    Entry D002   does not exist in T010O (check entry) "
    because D002 is not created in the table
    T010O. So go to obbo and create posting period variant and assign that to co.code in obbp.then go to ob52 and open the posting periods.
    PPV -D002
    act type - +
    from a/c -leave blank
    to a/c - ZZZZZZZZZZZ (infinitive)
    from period -1
    year 2015
    to period -12
    year -2015
    save it now you are good
