Revert back posting periods in MMPV..

Hi,

Posting periods by mistake i was extened 3 month ahead in MMPV trasaction ...now i want to revert back the entry.
this entry is in MARV table , how can i change the period in table MARV..
Help me.....

San Rao..

Hi,
NOTE: Involve also FICO Consultant and collect all the documents before proceeding.
MMRV: to check which period is open & also set back posting allowed,
MMPV: to open the period.
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.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.If there has already been a posting after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.
Steps are as below;
Go to Transaction Code SE38
Enter program name RMMMINIT
Execute or press F8 function button
Enter your company code (From and To)
Enter relevant date: Say 01/02/2008 for Feb. 2008 month to be opened as of now
That means, user can post for the month of Jan 2008 as well as Feb. 2008
Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.
As per SAP Notes 487381 ( If the periods are opened in advance in mmpv to again change it to current period the following process should be follow ), Go to Tcode MMPI, then go to menu bar and select system -> user profile->owndata.In that screen , under the parameters tab enter MMPI_READ_NOTE in Parameter ID field and enter, then under short description you will get Initialise period. Next Save.
Again go to MMPI enter company code, period and year and execute.
OR
NOT ADVICEABLE THIS METHOD, ONLY TRY IN SANDBOX NOT IN RUNNING SYSTEM
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.

Re open the closed Posting Periods - Very Urgent

Dear Experts,
We have an urgent problem to solve.The company code currently we are configuring uses fiscal year (oct - Sept) and the other company codes in our client site uses (jan -Dec). So by mistake we closed posting periods using MMPV upto 2007 03 but it should be 2006 06(correct me if i am wrong).
As we are still in baseline configuration we don't have any material document in the current company code. From this forum I got some solution to intialize the posting period using MMPI(which directed me to use SAP Note 487381).
Now if I do MMPI with the directions mentioned in SAP Note 487381, will i face any problem now & in future.
Please suggest me and help me as has become hurdle for the test process.
Thanks in Advance...
Nagesh Aswartha

Hi Aswartha
As you do not have any material documents , pl go ahead and initialize the periods. Should not be a problem.
I normally do this to avoid errors:
In MMPV, never give a period. Enter the current date(or first date of the month) in the date field and execute closing program.
Best regards

POSTING PERIOD ERROR URGENT

I am getting the error is POSTING PERIOD 012 2007 IS NOT OPEN. Please solve my problem.

Please check your Company Code posting period in MMPV, you may have to check and close all the period or months one by one from the period given there, till 2007 curent month. You can also check it up for status alternatively in OMSY. Note : Period refers to months in accounting.
Award points if helpful.

PGI error related to Posting Period issue

While delivering, when I do the PGI, it is not allowing ...it says "Posting only possible in periods 2009/02 and 2009/01 in company code 0430"... I closed earler posting periods using Tcode MMPV and opened the current period and fiscal in SPRO IMG. But still PGI is not allowed ...it still says "Posting only possible in periods 2009/07 and 2009/06 in company code 0430". Apart from closing earlier posting periods using MMPV and opening current fiscal in SPRO IMG, what else I need to do to overcome this PGI issue ?

Hello,
Please compare the posting periods from MMPV and MMRV
The posting period for your company in MMRV will show the exact postings periods for your company.
If this posting periods are not at par to MMPV you have to maintain it.

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

Steps are as below;
Go to Transaction Code SE38
Enter program name RMMMINIT
Execute or press F8 function button
Enter your company code (From and To)
Enter relevant date: Say 01/03/2008 for Mar. 2008 month to be opened as of now

Other way of doing it is follow these steps( But try this method in Sand box Only):
1. Go to OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. Go to OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.Go to OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.
SHD0: http://www.mortenhjorthnielsen.dk/Security/transactionvariants.htm
If oyu have knowledge of Transaction variant then you can use SHD0 tcode and generate the transaction using defualt type and give that transction to user instead of ME21N so they will not have the issue.
The exact solution for your problem is as follows
Go to Tcode SHD0 and enter the transaction variant
In T code field enter MIRO and then enter the ZMIRO or the name you want to keep in transaction variant field and hit create button
This will take you to MIRO transaction and here you just post the invoice but make sure you enter the House bank key whic you want to default.
Once you finish system will save this one as a variant
Every time you hit or enter the pop up screen comes here you just hit enter and which ever data you want to default that you have to select in the Popup by checking the Box
W content and output only for your case the field XXXXXXXX should be selected for W content and output only
Make sure you have value 1 in contents field
If not then restart the variant again and on the MIRO screen reselect the invoice field
Later exit and save (save in the object which you can transport)
Then from SHD0 transaction select GOTO create variant transaction and here you careate the tcode and use that tcode for MIRO

Posting periods issue though I updated in MMPV

Hi experts,
I created scheduline agreement and trying to do the PGI , system thrown an error saying 'posting periods possible only 9/2009 and 8/2009'. after this I closed the periods till sep09 in T.code MMPV, still the same error. is there anything else that I have to configure or check to resolve this issue. your help is neede.
Thanks,
Kanna.

Hi,
This is how you need to do it.
Go to Tx: OMSY or MMRV & check the current period against your company code.
Theory behind Posting Periods in SAP
Posting periods are calculated using a Config: Setting called u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D attached to the Company code. u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D is the deciding factor for the company code, whether to follow the calendar year or any other calculation method.
Eg: Fiscal year can be start from July & goes to the next year June for some companies.
Therefore what you see in the OMSY might not be the actual calendar month that SAP is referring.
(Eg: 01 means Jan, 02 means Feb, 03 means March, etc is not always the case)
So first you have to check the Fiscal Year attached to your company code.
Go to below path to check Fiscal Year attached to your company code.
IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> GIobaI Parameters for Company Code -> Enter GIobaI Parameters ->
Go in to your company & Check the Fiscal Year Variant field. There you can identify whether it equals to the calendar year or not. If its not clear, take that Fiscal year variant 7 go to below IMG path;
IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> FiscaI Year and Posting Periods -> Maintain FiscaI Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year)
Go in to the node.
Select the Fiscal year & double click on Periods node.
If Fiscal Year is same as calendar year, then you should have that u201CCalendar Yru201D tick box ticked.
Now check what's the SAP Fiscal month relevant to your calendar month.
The go to MMPV & open that relevant Fiscal month accordingly.
Then you should be able to post.
Hope this helps you !
Best regards,
Anupa

Why need do close posting period

Hi, All,
Why we need to close posting period, then we can do goods receipt?
What means MMPV?
What's the different material posting period and financial posting period?
Thanks,

JC,
You are asking the wrong people
Closing a period is a business decision. When you close a period, certain records are written that enable your FI and CO people to close their financial books and produce any required end-of-period reporting. In most companies that make financial statements on a regular basis, such as value of various types of inventory, they need a clear delineation between one period and the next.
Closing the period from a Material and inventory perspective (MMPV) creates that clear line. Once the line is drawn, and the records are written, then everyone can continue making transactions. The financial data can then more easily be extracted, and reports written, using data produced during the period close procedure, instead of trying to create reports while transactions are continually updating the inventory and other accounting type information.
So, ask your Accountants in your company why they want you to close your MM records each period.
In addition to Inventory records, other types of transactional data relative to accounting must also have similar "clear lines" drawn between reporting periods. These are the Financial closings you are talking about.

Check List for closing posting period

Hi everyone,
What should be the complete check list (activity to be done) before closing the posting period in MM

Hi,
In fact when ever you complete the month you have to close the period for the previous month.This you can do at the T.code MMPV.
1)before closing the period check wheather the Back posting is allowed at SPRO-logistics general -material master-basic settings-company code settings for the financial year.
2)There will be peiod indicatotors.You have to check them.
3)unless and untill you dont close the period your inventory management settings will not allow you to furthur stating a warning message that 'posting period is in previous month'.

Error with posting period

Hi All,
When I am trying to post goods issue
for material 1 I get the following error log
Posting only possible in periods 2002/11 and 2002/10 in company code .
Then,I tried to update posting period using transaction code MMPV BUT INVAIN.
Please help.
Regards,

Hi Neelam,
1. Go to t.code OB52 there u change the period for your Code for XXXX
2.Then go to OX18- remove the Plant and Cocd assisngment(remove all the plants and pls make a note of those plant code later u may need it and save it.
3.Go to OMSY,here u give the period from and to(whichever period u want to post n to)
4.Now again go to OX18 (Plant and Cocd assisngment) here u assign the plant to cocd (all the plant which u have removed/disassigned in the step 2. then save it and come back.
5.Now go to VL02N for Picking and PGI here u can be able to the same.
Please check and revert back.. if it works
Reason for doing above mentioned steps :
As we can't initialize the company code in this case due to the existance of material valuation records, we are required to do this. This should be taken as work around solution for problem posted in this thread. Normally we come across these kind of problems in sand box or testing server environment.
Once the system is in productive operation, we normally run the period
closing program once a month at the beginning of a new period. This
program sets the new period, making it possible to perform goods
movements with reference to the new period.
In real time this will be handled by MM consultants as they own this area
Thanks and Regards,
Guru
