Open an already closed period

Is it possible to open an already closed posting period? If yes, how? And is it recommended to open any closed period?
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
There are two different places where the period is closed in SAP.
a. FI period
Use transaction OB52.
b. MM period - MMPI
The help extract for the same is given below for your reference:
Short text
Initialize Period for Material Master Records
Description
This program must be viewed in conjunction with the period closing program (RMMMPERI). It does the following:
Sets the current period
However, do not use this program to set the new period at the end of a period, and use it only in addition to the period closing program, never instead of it.
Creates or updates the control record
Makes it possible to create material master records if you are initializing a company code for the first time
However, to initialize company codes, you are recommended using the IMG activity Maintain company codes for materials management instead of this program.
You can also use this program to correct data inconsistencies, for example, due to user errors when running the period closing program, or that occur as a result of skipping several periods in a test system. However, first make sure you understand why the inconsistency arose and then decide whether running this program is the correct way of resolving it.
Caution
Be careful if the period used for initialization precedes the current period in the control record for the company code since this can result in an inconsistency between goods movements and material master segments. This is because the stock information in the material master segments is assigned to the new current period in this case (see the following example).
Example
Current period 02
Opening stock balance 0 pieces
Goods receipt 10 pieces
Period used for initialization 01
According to the material master segment, there are 10 pieces in stock in period 01, although 10 pieces were posted to stock in period 02 according to the goods movement document.

Delta extraction of modified data in already closed periods

Hi everyone,
we're currently facing a scenario where data in BI does not seem to match R/3. We're using the business content extractors 0ec_pca_3 & 0ec_pca_4 to get data for a balance sheet report, but some of the figures don't match. The client currently uses periods 001 - 013, in other words they have one special period. After much investigation and discussions with the users, we found out that the client sometimes goes back and makes changes to periods that have already been closed. For instance, period 013.2007 is closed in R/3 (and loaded to BI), at some point in 2008 the client "reopens" the period and modifies the data. This data does not seem to be picked up by the BI delta extractor. So our theory is that the two systems don't balance because of this late period modification. My questions are:
Is it part of standard SAP FI process to re-open an already closed period and add/change/delete data?
If so, would this changes be picked up by the standard delta extraction? If not why and is there anything we can do to achieve this?
If not part of standard process, what would the solution be? We've suggested to potentially create a separate period, say period 014, for these changes? Would this be a recommended way forward?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Dion

0EC_PCA_4 does not support delta right?
Have you already checked contraints mentioned in these links?

Hello Hana,
It is possible to reopen a previously closed period. However, it isn't
advisable to do because the valuation data of the previous period could
get affected. If you decide to proceed with the process, please review
the documentation of program RMMMINIT (To see this documentation, please
do the following: SE38, RMMMINIT, and select the documentation button
and display).
Take into account the documentation of the program RMMMINIT:
"Caution
Be careful if the period used for initialization precedes the current
period in the control record for the company code since this can result
in an inconsistency between goods movements and material master segments
This is because the stock information in the material master segments is
assigned to the new current period in this case."
Please also review the note 70545 regarding the initialization
process. Although this note is NOT valid for your release, it provides
good information on the use of initialization for correction purposes.
Additionally, please review the note 369637 in this regard as well.
PLEASE FIRST PERFORM THIS IN A TEST/DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRIOR TO MOVING
TO PRODUCTION AS YOUR VALUATION DATA FROM PREVIOUS PERIOD WILL BE
AFFECTED. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can move it
to production.
Also see the SAP On-line documentation (http://help.sap.com):
Logistics - General (LO)
-> Logistics Basic Data (LO-MD)
-> Material Master (LO-MD-MM)
-> Period closing
In addition, as you know, please check the following note as well:
487381 - RMMMINIT: Protection against unintentionial execution
I hope this information helps you.

It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

MK

hi Mk
for opening the already closed period & if we want to reopen & post it in previous period.use MMRV
When you are opening Aug'2007 then the period Jul'2007 is closed.
You have the option of posting in the Jul'2007 by setting the posting allowed in the pervious period in MMRV transaction.
But u will not able to post for period June'2006 , once you open August'2007 period. That is the reason why it is always mentioned that Posting to previous to previos period is not possible.
Hope it answers your Prob.
Please reward points if u are satisfied with the answer

To open the closing period...

Hi all,
To reverse the period, is there is any other way other than following methods.
Note that no transaction is done.
1.Reassignment of Plant
2.To run SAP note initialization (MM_PI_Note)
If we remove Plant it makes some problem and for running SAP notes we need Basis and abaper help.
Any other solution is there...
Thnks & Regards

Hi
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 postings 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.

How to Open and Close Posting Periods in MM

Hi,
I have opened posting periods for 10/2008 first and by mistake even 11/2008 and 12/2008 using MMPV.

How to close these two periods and default to 10/2008.
Please kindly help me to solve this issue.

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
That means, user can post for the month of Feb 2008 as well as Mar. 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.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
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.

Open and Closed periods

Dear FI experts,
For FISL, can I say that a closed period can be modified and closed again?
For example, periods 1-6 have been closed.
Correction or adjustment need to be done in period 2. Period 3-6 balances are affected. So, how is the adjustment applied to the 6 periods? In this case, a closed period becomes opened again? Is such a scenario possible?
Thanks
Adette

Closing and opening in new fiscal period

Hi
I am going to close last fiscal period and open new period . What should I do step by step for closing inventory and BP and Accounting and Open them in new Period. does system has any facility to do these step automatically.
Thanks in advance

PEC is a tool to use for you to close any periods. What it does is mainly creating certain retained earning entries. There is no way to do anything automatically for you. You may need to define new fiscal periods first before you do Period-End Close.
Thanks,
Gordon

Opening and closing periods in FI

Dear FICO experts,
Just a quick question regarding OB52.
We have only 1 company code, can we use the same posting period variant in mulitple line items for the combination ALL account types and a range of periods that are open?
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011
Posting period variant:0001 (continue making new posting period variants for all account types as needed)
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2012
Period to: 12
Year: 2012
OR
Do we just adjust the one line item: example below
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011 (keep ajdusting this one line item whenever we need to open new periods for all account types)
Thanks, Deb
Moderator: Company code is assigned to one variant; so the question is irrelevant

Hi,
The Posting Period Variant is just defined once and is not year dependent.
The second option that you maintained is the way how the Posting Periods are maintained.
Against the Same Posting period variant, you can have your open and closed periods and years maintained year after year.
Generally, you keep only 1 period in a year open, the current period, and at the most 2-3 periods in some cases, and that you can easily maintain in Range.
Hope this clarifies..

Opening/closing periods in DEV - good procedure

What's the best way to deal with opening or closing periods in a DEV system? This is a sandpit client in DEV that is normally closed to changes. Should I unlock the client and have the change trigger the creation of a transport, or not bother about forcing the creation of a transport, as it's not going anywhere?

Hey,
It is surprising that your Dev system is closed to changes. So how do you usually use it if you were to test your development prior to moving it to Q. Do you use the Original dev and copy the Transports to the sandpit?
Regardless.. based on your information.. have your Sandpit client unlocked...Unless there is a wierd but valid reason why it has been locked.. BASIS acts strange at times. CTS should be disabled as well. however it should not pose any issues if the transports hang around.. moroever you would not need to log your changes as they serve the purpose. Hope this helps

Log for the Closing Period & Opening Period -Urgent

Hello,
While Opening & Closing Periods in MM where will be the logs saved.

Kumar Rayudu

Go to transaction SE16> enter the table name MARVCD or MARV and enter the parameters of company code, then execute, you may find the person who changed the last MM period. I am not sure if it holds previoys history, but the latest changes may be found
