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.
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.

  • How to open previous period

    Hi all,
       Can any one please let me know, is it possible to open the period in the previous year. If so, please let me know the details.
    thanks & regards
    Chaitanya

    Hi,
         Using MMPI, i have faced the message "Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization".
    Further i have gone thru this note which specifies two points:
    1) The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.
    2) The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
       Can you please confirm whether loss of information indicates loss of accounting data or only information. Please provide the details of the consequences with the opening of any previous period. 
    thanks & regards

  • Opening Balances for Previous Periods

    Hi Experts,
    There is a client requirement of entering opening balances for GL for previous periods before going live.
    eg it is required to have OB for 2006,2007 and 2008 before live transactions are entered into the system.
    Please enlighten on how to carry out this.
    Regards,
    Asap

    Hi Asap,
    You could only have one OB for one account.  If those OB for different years are for different accounts, it is ok.  Otherwise, you have 2006 OB only. You may create JE to get something like OB for 2007 and 2008.
    Thanks,

  • Open a previous period in material master record

    I'm working in a test system and current period was closed and so was the next period. So period 3/2008 is closed, period 4/2008 is closed, and now 5/2008 is the current period. I know I can post to the previous period but that doesn't help me because I need to post for 3/2008.
    My question is can I reopen 3/2008? If so what is the potiential problems I'll run into if I do?
    Thanks,

  • Opening previous MM period

    Hello ,
    I would like to know if Previous MM period can be open .
    This being a Non production system , there is no material document expected in the open period and I want to post a document which is already closed .
    e.g Current open period 2009 / 10 and 2009/ 09 whereas I want to post document for period 2009 / 7 .
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    You can use MMPI to open the Previous periods
    OR
    Alernatively you can also use the program   RMMMINIT in SE38
    But SAP does not recommends to open the previous posting periods as it will cause data inconsistency.
    Be cautious while doing this.

  • Open previous Posting Periods

    Hi Experts,
    When trying to post a good receipts I get the current error:
    Posting periods only possible in 12/2011 and 11/2011. I want to post in 12/2209
    How do I set the system to post in 12/2009?

    Hi
    Allowing Posting to the Previous Period
    Prerequisites
    Posting to the previous period (backposting) is allowed only if the corresponding indicator is set
    in the control record. This indicator is set automatically during initialization and after each change
    of period. However, it can sometimes be necessary to set it manually.
    For One Company Code
    1. In the Material Master [Ext.] menu, choose Other   Allow posting to previous period.
    The initial screen appears.
    2. Enter the company code and choose Enter.
    3. Set the Allow posting to previous per. indicator.
    4. Save your data.
    But in your case the current year is 2011 but you wanna to post to 2009.You can allow by allow posting to previous period ( i.e. one period only).
    The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
              You need to take help of SAP  while doing initialization by MMPI and also prog. RMMMINIT but system gives error Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization.

    Hi,
    This question has been already answered in this forum......
    Deatiled process is:
    1. Lock all users out of PRD
    2. Take snapshot of MB5L for all materials at company code for current and previous periods
    3. Add User parameter MMPI_READ_NOTE with value = current date in this format YYYYMMDD
    4. Stop all processing that updates inventory values
    5. Run t-code MMPI with correct period
    6. Run Z_DEl_HIST_ENTRIES program
    7. Take MB5L snapshot for all materials at company code fs01 for current and previous periods
    8. Validate that values match on MB5L pre-post snapshots or are appropriate.
    9. Unlock all users in PRD
    10. Remove User parameter MMPI_READ_NOTE from user ID

  • Billing Document cancelled in previous period

    Hi Experts,
    There is an issue that an invoice was created in the month of Jan. 2010, it got cancelled due to some reason and while cancelling it user has manually put date of Dec.2009. It has impacted the customer ledger. Here the previous period is opened as client's requirement.
    Kindly suggest the solution.
    Thanks & Regards
    Girish

    Pass a manual accounting entry for reversing the effect of cancellation in Dec09 month.  Pass another entry in Jan10 month too.
    I am sorry but since the document is totally closed and cancellation sets itself off against the invoice document, you can't do much.  You cannot cancel a cancellation document to reset its effect.
    Thanks

  • Costs of previous period not getting settled in current period ?

    Dear All,
    Scenario - Ours is an investment project. User has forgotten to settle costs in previous financial period i.e. 2007. And is now trying to run the settlement via CJ88. Since the financial year/period has already been closed , the system is throwing error as shown below -
    "First settle items from previous year in previous year 2007: 400031819/001
    Message no. AW624 "
    We cannot open the period .
    Tell me how to resolve above issue so that user can post the costs.
    thanks in advance

    hi friend.
    kb11n cant be used here as this is used only for repostings, and this is not required in this scenario,
    i suppose you are getting the error message: AW624 : first settle the items of previous year.
    this error comes when you create a wbs and you are using that wbs as a AUC and posting the expences to that AUC and finally you capitalize that asset to final asset through CJ88  settlement.
    when the capitalization date lies in the next year where in you have the expences posted to that are in previous year.the system dose not allow you to do that as that period is closed. postings cant happen in the previous period thats closed.to rectify this issue go to OBA5 and give the selection AW and select the number 624 and in online and batch column give W. After giving this settings save it and you will be able to perform the settlement.
    this will resolve your issue.

  • Clearing Line Items in previous periods (F.13)

    My customer was not aware that an automatic clearing process had to be performed at the end of each month for a GR/IR Account (Transaction F.13). So, in Transaction FS10N, all line items by Purchase Order with balance = 0 are shown open. (They display with red light).
    We were able to fix the problem by executing the automatic clearing process (transaction F.13) for the current period which it is Period #10. Now, all line items by Purchase Order with balance = 0 are displayed on green which it is correct.
    We tried to execute the same process for previous periods (Period 09, 08, 07 .... 01) but we get the message Can't process, the period is not open. In previous periods, the line items still are shown on Red light even if the balance = 0.
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    MP

    Hi,
    F.13 clearing won't possible previous periods. can be possible present month and previous month only.
    Before previous month won't possible. the reason is Material period will allow only backpostings upto one month.
    Thanks

  • Allow Posting to Previous Period - MMRV

    Dear Friends,
    We can open / close MM periods thru MMPV & see the currently open periods thru MMRV.
    Now when we check current Period in MMRV, we see three periods:
    Current period                 07 2009 (October 2009)
    Previous period               06 2008 (Septermber 2009)
    Last period in prev.year  12 2008 (March 2009)
    Here we have also Allowed posting to Previous Periods.
    Thus current open period is 07 2009 (October 2009) & we can also post in Septermber 2009 (06 2009).
    But the real problem is can we post some MM Documents in March 2009 (i.e. 12 2008)? Currently when we try system gives error - Posting only possible in 07 2009 & 06 2009.
    I know it is SAP standard to allow only two MM months to be open at a given point of time.
    Then what is the use of "Last period in prev.year  12 2008" in MMRV screen?
    Waiting for early replies...
    Thanks,
    Jignesh Mehta

    In SAP system, you can only post stocks to one back period only by checking the Check Box in MMRV Transaction.
    The entries you mentioned (Current Period, Previous Period, etc. are just information purpose only.
    In certain cases, for ex: changing valuation Class etc., you have to check the stocks in Current, previous period and last period in previous year.
    So you can get information of periods in MMRV Transactions.
    For back posting to other periods (other than previous period), you should use Transaction MMPI.

  • GR IR clearance for previous periods

    HI,
    Our client is trying to clear GR IR Account via F.13. The OB74 settings was configured as WAERS (Currency )as Criteria 1 and PRCTR (Profit Center) as Criteria 2 for the Account Type u201CSu201D. Because of this setting the GR IR account got wrongly cleared from the year 2007. Now we are changing the setting in OB74 to ZUONR (Assignment ) as Criteria 1  and VBUND (Trading Partner) as Criteria 2 for the Account type u201CSu201D. I have also ensured that the GR IR GL account has u201C014u201D Sort Key in FS00.
    Now the solution for the issue is to reverse all the cleared documents which got cleared wrongly in the previous periods and to run F.13 in the current period. My query is -  is it possible to reverse the cleared documents as there might be PO and GRs archived. Will the archived documents/POs/Grs effect the clearing in the current year. Please suggest.
    Regards,
    S.Sumana.

    Hi,
    I do not think you really need to reverse any documents. You just need to reset the clearing between GR and IR document using t-code FBRA.
    Th system will give you errors if you try to reset archived documents. In that case you can talkk to the basis person and check if he can selectively reload the archived tables. However I think it is not advisable to change anything on closed Financial Years as the accounts are already audited and resetting even the clearing will have impact on provisons made for pending GRs.
    Or the other option would be to post new entries for the Opening GRs and IRs in current year. The business and auditors will have to take a decision how they want to offset these new postings.
    In any case if GRIR clearing took place incorrectly in previous year, the provisioning would have gone wrong, so the offset can be given to the same provisioning account.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Uma
