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.

  • Re-open the Previous posting period

    hi...
    we have closed the posting period for the month of 01-02(april-may) and open the 03-04(june-july)...
    but now we want to open the previous posting period i.e. 01-02(april-may) again...so how could we do this..
    one solution i have got is that...
    1. go to OX18 delete all the assignment for that company code and plant.
    2. go to OMSY and change the posting period..
    3.  go to OX18 and reassign the plant and company code again...
    this is the right method to do that..?
    will there be any -ive implications if I open the previous period by this procedure..?
    or suggest me some other way to do that...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    You can open Closed MM periods but be careful because SAP does recommend opening closed MM periods.
    Steps are :
    1) Tcode MMPI --from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field.
    Try to remove assignment of plants from company code.
    Now Go to -
    T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.
    Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct preriod is open thru T-Code - MMRV
    Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.
    Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (or any other Material Type used by your company)
    Then click on the quantity and value update.
    Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update
    Even check this link...Reopening the posting period that was closed
    This will definitely reslove your problem.
    Thanking you.

  • Error in Opening the Posting Period.

    Hi All,
    The Current period in the system is 10 2009.
    The Previous period in the system is 09 2009.
    When trying to open the posting period 11 2009 ( through MMPV ), system throws an error saying "The specified year 2009 is not the current calendar year" and then a log is issued.
    Can anybody help me in this. Please...
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks Everybody for your help. It was resolved.
    The Periods in the Fiscal Year Variant (Z1 is my case) were not maintained for the Calendar Year 2009.
    Maintenance was done in SPRO in the following path ( Financial Accounting/ Financial Accounting Global Settings/Fiscal Year/ Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year) ).
    And after this I could close and open the periods in the system.
    Thank you all for the help.

  • 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\CLOSE POSTING PERIOD

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working on a system with different company code, each company code has a posting period variant.
    My question is:
    Is there the possibility (by tcode 'OB52') that more users can, at the same time, open\close posting periods related to them posting period variant?
    In practice, my customer asks me:
    AT THE SAME TIME: - user x (company X) modifies posting periods of PPV '001' and user y (company Y) modifies posting periods of PPV '002'...
    Is it possible???
    thank you in advance..

    Hi Jason,
    Probably I may not recommend this. These are most critical activities. We do not the dependency of the tables. Meaning that the table could be linked to many other tables and fields in database. This may end up in data integrity issues.
    These are not the activities that we should do on a daily basis. Normally we open and close the period on a monthly basis and open this screen for few minutes or so. I would suggest first user can go and change and then he come back and the second person may change.
    Since this a very critical activity, anything wrong would impact all other modules, as the data is moving from all other modules to FI.
    Therefore, I would only recommend one by one to change OB52 OR give the authority to a centralized person in order to open and close the periods.

    Ravi

  • Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a "per day" basis?

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a per day basis?
    It is not possible in OB52 since it only has control per period and not per day.
    Will assign points for suggestions. =) Thanks!

    Hii
    In standard SAP there is not such functionality where u can do these kind of configuration...it is at least for a month that is through OB52.
    If u still wants this functionality it is through the validation.
    u need to create the validation for that company code and thn u can use this functionality....
    hope it helps u

  • Authorization for opening & Closing posting periods - OB52

    Hi,
    Is there any way to set authorization for opening & closing of posting periods in OB52?
    My scenario:
    I have 2 company codes - A & B assigned to 2 different posting period variant - say PPA & PPB.
    The user belonging to CoCd A should not be able to open/close posting period of CoCd B and vice versa.
    Is this possible through any authorization settings?
    Request your help on this.
    Regards,
    Sridevi

    Hi Sridevi
    Please go through the following:
    You can assign authorization groups for permitted posting periods. This means that, for example, some posting periods can only be opened for particular users within monthly or annual closing. You can only assign the authorization group at document header level and it only affects period 1. The authorization object is called F_BKPF_BUP (Accounting document: Authorizations for posting periods). Read the corresponding chapter on "User maintenance" in the "Assigning authorizations" topic.
    "User maintenance"
    Due to the modular authorization concept of the system, you can define authorization profiles which are tailored to the workplace of your employees. You can, for example, assign authorization to a workplace in the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable or General Ledger Accounting areas.
    By assigning authorizations you define which business-related objects your employees are allowed to process and which editing functions are allowed.
    In the following activities for authorization management, you must carry out the following for employees who are to work with the system:
    Assign authorizations
    The authorizations are assigned by specifying permitted values for the pre-defined objects.
    Define profiles
    In the SAP system, authorizations are grouped together in workplace profiles. Therefore one or more profiles must be allocated to the individual employee in the master record.
    I hope this helps.

  • Clarify these words:posting period varients & open & close posting period

    Hi Sap Gurus,
    Someone kindly make me clarify following words.Thank you.
    1.Posting period varient.
    2.Open & close posting periods
    3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
    Best Regards,
    priya desai
    Financial Analysist

    Hi,
    It is very easy and understandble.
    1.Posting period varient.
    If you want to post any documents you need to enter some date right? That date would belongs to some posting period right?.
    for Example your Fin.period is JAN to DEC. Means 01 is for Jan, 12 is for DEC, 05 for May.
    So according to your requirement you have to create the variant and define what do you want.
    2.Open & close posting periods
    When you in operation and if you are posting a document in the month of Feb. the period Jan has been closed it will avoid the mistakes while posting to the different periods.
    3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
    Once you have created your company code and your posting variant. You are assign to make the link to both the level.

  • Close previous posting periods

    hii pl tell the procedure to close the previous open& closing periods and to open the new posting period.
    sineours:
    will i am making the posting for g/l in f-02 it is  showing the posting period for 05/02/2002 not the current fical year period
    what is the procedure to change this to current posting period

    Hi Shashi
    Please check what is the entry you are trying to make. The posting date that you have provided in F-02 should be 05/02/2002 as the error message is saying that the current fiscal is different. So please provide more information on what is the entry you are trying to post.
    You could however run some preliminary checks with tcode OB52. Check the variant assigned to the company code with the path Financial Accounting->Financial Accounting Global Settings->Document->Posting Periods->Posting Periods. Then in OB52 check what are the periods open for that variant.

  • 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.

  • PCA Manual Posting - Open/close posting periods

    All,
    Is there a way you can open or close PCA posting periods? The FI posting period control does not control the PCA manual posting. We need however to do this. Is there a way to do it. I know I can create a validation. But is there any other way?
    Regards,

    Hello,
    here is the one and only correct answer for your question:
    Unfortunately, there is no possibility to lock periods / posting
    transactions in PCA (including distributions).
    There are only two possibilities to prevent postings to profit centers:
    1. is to completely lock them in the master data via transaction KE52 (tab 'Indicators' -> activate 'Lock indicator'. Please read also the F1-help here for the field 'Lock indicator')
    2. to lock one complete fiscal year in the entire Profit-Center
       Accounting via transaction 1KEF.
    One important reason is that PCA receives its postings from preliminary applications like MM, CO, FI. Therefore, postings can only be locked in those applications (like in FI via TN OB52 or in CO via TN OKP1 or FI-SL via GCP1), but not directly in PCA.
    Excpetions from that are described in the SAP notes 436384 and´836218 for manual postings made with transactions 1KEL and 9KE0. With the coding corrections of the both notes a period lock is possible for these two transactions.
    It is not planned to have a general functionality of period locks in Profitcenter Accounting. PCA should be always open for postings. It is designed to be the receiving application of data delivered by the preliminary applications. Therefore period locks must be handled / maintained also in those applications.
    Best regards,
    Andreas

  • How to set up open&close posting period to process year-end at April

    Hi FICO GURUs,
    I m a new student in FICO, here i have a question as following, ask for help,
    For the open period. If we need to clearing till April, how do we do for that? How to set up in open and close posting period?
    Any responses will be awarded.
    Thanks a lot!
    Samson

    In OB52 you need to manage open periods related to FI. Any periods which are not managed here implies those periods are closed
    Ex: From Period Year       To Period Year
           04               2008        04          20008
    This means 4th Period of 2008 is open and all other periods are closed.
    Also you can open and close period seperately for General Ledger and Subledgers
    Types A,D,K,M are subledgers and S type is for ledger.
    There will be seperate open and close periods for FI,MM and CO modules
    FI- OB52
    CO-OKP1
    MM- MMPV
    Assign Points if useful
