Open and Close GL Posting Periods

Hi,
We would like to allow only certain users to post to a previous month - is there a way that we can do this? For example, we opened Feb. but due to month end the accountants still need to make postings to Jan. - can we give only them access to Jan and restrict th eother users from posting to Jan.?

Hi
In OB52 you can mention Authorisation Group to make a set of employees authorised to make entries in the specified period. Please note that such authorisation apply to period 1 opened in first period field.
In your case you can open previous period in Period 1 with authorisation and normal period in Period 2.
Authorisation object F_BKPF_BUP
Hope this helps

Scheduling opening and closing FI posting periods

Hi,
Could you please let me know if there is any program to schdule the opening and closing of FI posting periods, rather than doing it manually every month end.
Thanks
Uma

Hi,
I was at a customer who had multiple company codes and they had the business requirement of closing differenet types of accounts on different dates. For this I had got a program developed wherein the users had to mention the closing date and the account number. This program would run every day and if the current date is eqaul to the closing date in the program, system would execute transaction OB52 and close the corresponding account.

Open and Closing of Posting Periods in FI

Is it possible to open/close periods in FI per account? I'm using SAP ECC 6.0
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi,
Yes, you can use authorization group: "A posting period can be made available to only a limited set of users using the authorization group"
You assign the authorization group in GL master.
Assign authorization object F_BKPF_BUP to user ids.

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

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

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 periods on test system

Hello together,
to open and close posting periods is only allowed on the develepment und the production client, but not on the test client.
It is an customizing object, but the flag "current settings" is set, so you also can change the settings on the production system.
In the test system, it only can be changed by opening the system for customizing using SCC4 und change to "Changes without automatic recording".
Is there a way to allow open and close posting periods on the test system without opening the client for customizing?
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Please, refer to the note 356483. Proceed as following:
Call transaction SE54
Enter the Customizing object (view or table)
Select "Generated objects"
Choose "Create/change"
Select "no, or user, recording routine" in the bottom part of the screen

How to open and close posting period for both material , n invoicing

HI
how to open and close posting period for both material , n invoicing , AM NEW TO SD , SO ALL DOUBTS I DO POST IN HERE PLEASE DONT MIND

Hi Sunaina
Period Open T.code: MMP1
Period Close T-Code: MMPV
Automate the opening of MM periods
How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods (transaction MMPV - program RMMMPERI) with
SM36?
RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working
day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
Another possibility:
Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

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.
Now when I am trying to do PGI from VL02N, the system says postings are only possible for 11/2008 and 12/2008.
How to close these two periods and default to 10/2008.
Please kindly help me to solve this issue.

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.
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.

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 ...

Thanks in advance,

If your fiscal year starts from January then for keeping open October period only and closing other , you will have to maintain all 10 in from and to along with year 2011 against account type A,S,K,D,M... I hope it will help you.
