Period Close MMPV and OB52

Hi Experts,
I have some questions about the month end period close.
My company have multiple plant location in Asia, UK and US. Each of this have different company code for example 1000(UK), 2000(US), 3000(SEA). Due to the time zone different, SEA always is the first plant have the period change then follow by UK and US.
In my OB52, it already open for all company code from P1 to P6 (Open in advance). MMPV will only be open when the period change from one to another.
My question is:
1. Will it create any problem if OB52 is open in advance? (For example currently i am in P1 but OB52 allow posting from P1 to P6).
2. What about MMPV in advacne for all? Mean i may open the next period (P2) for all 3 company code even these 3 company posting date still remain in P1's posting period. Example in 31st Jan 2010, 6pm SEA time. I perform MMPV to open period for all company code 1000-3000. With the condition 'Allow posting to previous period" set.. Will this cause any problem to system?
3. What suppose be the best practices recommended by SAP in open and close period in month end?
You prompt reply will be much apprciated. Thanks.

Hi Srinu,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Please let me know if you found some info about the timezone maintenance.
I am clear about OB52. Understand that we can do it in advance.
But for MM, my question will be more specific with scenario below:
I have 2 different company in SEA, UK and US. With the company code 3000 (SEA), 1000 (UK) and 2000 (US).
Jan = P1, Feb = P2 and so on...
On 1 Feb 2010, 12am SEA time, we have close P1'2010 for company 3000 and open P2'2010 for posting.
By right, we do not close P1 for UK / US as on their time zone, it still in P1.
BUT what if someone close the P1 for all company 1000 to 3000 on 1 Feb 2010, 12am SEA time? With the condition 'Allow posting to previous period" set.. on
SEA - No problem as the period suppose be P2.
UK & US - Posting date still remain in P1 date but the period P2 is open for posting. The users in this location will NOT be affected by system as they will not change the posting date. In their location, the system still reflect as their location date/time still in 31 Jan 2010. Not sure whether this is caused any problem in account point of view?
Thanks.

Difference between mmpv and ob52

wat is the difference between mmpv and ob52 and how to close those

MMRV -->
To Check the Current Period in company and to allow
                postings in previous periods.
MMPV -->
To Close the Current Period and to re open the Next
                Period for postings.
OB52 -->
Specifiying which account types
            (Eg.,MMaterial,KVendor etc.,) Are allowed for
postings in Particular periods... i.e., periods and years
No Need to close any thing in OB52.
But, whenever month is completed,
we have to close MM period in MMPV.
To close the previous period Eg.,01,2008,
Enter 02 period, 2008 year
Press Enter and press F8, Then period will be closed.

How to close a period in MMPV and observe results in OMSY

Hello Experts,
My question is regarding closing of a period in MMPV. Here is the scenario.
The current and the previous posting period and fiscal year is shown as 12 2007 11 2007and It should be 2 2008 1 2008 instead.
When try to close the period 1 2008 using MMPV. It tells me that 2008 is not available in the current calendar year.
Is there anyother place where I can change this value other than MMPV. Is there a place to directly change the calendar year so that it would take 2008.
For you info OB52, posting period variant, and assignment are all 2008. All other places are 2008. I dunno why this message keeps jumping up.
Please help me resolve this issue. Suitable points would be allocated.
Thanks in advance

I am getting the following message after I am running the TCOde MMPV for 1 2008. I think its a message and I am sorry I didnt understand what you meant by the:
If it is an error message try making it a warning and then post using MMPV.
How to change a message into warning. Please help.
This is the error
The specified year 2008 is not the current calendar year
Message no. M3 489
Diagnosis
The year you have entered on the selection screen does not correspond to the current fiscal year (for example, 94 instad of 1994).
Procedure

OB52 Posting Period Close: Does anyone know how to automate the close?

Does anyone know how to automate the FI Period Close (trans code OB52)? Currently, the business users go into the screen and open and close any periods manually. For the MM period close, we are able to do so because we found the program to use in the batch job. For some reason, the FI side shows the program SAPL0F00 but this is only a view and will not allow a batch job to be created. Does anyone know of the actual program used for the FI period close?

Use program RFPERIOD_OPEN. It may help. For further details you may check the following thread.
RFPERIOD_OPEN

Reg.Automatic posting period close and open

Dear Experts
We have to do Posting period close and open in MMPV every month, is there any way to do automatically as background job. Pls help me.
Thanks in advance
Rajakumar.K

Hi,
To open the MM period every month, you can schedule the batch job in background.
Use transaction code SM36 and the program name for this transaction code is RMMMPERI.
Use dynamic selection for the date, where u can give the date as a first day of next month and schedule the job for the last day of every month.
It is working fine in my system
I hope it will help.

Period close in MM problem in PGI SD

Hi,
I have problem at the time of PGI!
I have close all the period by mmpv from 01/2006 to 01/2010 but in actually I have to post entry in 01/2010. To post entry in 01/2010 I have open period by the process of deleting the company and plant assignment then I have open the period . in between I have also tried that entering the parameter mmpv_read_note I donu2019t which one is worked out but after this all I get the message as material account determination is not determine of material then I have done that while doing this i think I have change valuation class from simulation (not sour ) and now I doing PGI it shows error as Period 001/2010 is not open for account type S and G/L 894025( I have checked mmpi it shows the current period is 01 2010 and previous period as 12 2009.
Gajanan

Hi,
After making OB52 settings, you can goto MMRV and click on
"ALLOW posting in previous period". Even though you have closed 01/2010, then also system will allow you to post.
Secondly an error related to M is again from OB52. Against your variant, you will have many entries in OB52, you need to open all periods or just open the period with entry "*".
Regarding the consumption account error, it seems, some settings in transaction OBYC are missing for your valuation class.

Hi Swathi,
Go to OMSY / MMRV and check which month is running against your company code.
Go to MMPV and close the previous period.
Note the Period 1 in the sence April and May 2 follows like this.
Suppose if you want to close the June Month then you have to close the 3. (Ofcourse it depends on Fiscal year dependent).
Now go to OB52 and check the Posting Periods below.

If any of the above is missed, correct it.
Definitely it will works in your case.

Please suggest how to clear this error message.
Regards
Kasi

Dear Kasi
its not a problem if you are working on IDES.
Enter T code SE16N.
Enter table name MARV. Press enter.
Enter your company code in the required field. Press enter.
Enter   &SAP_EDIT   in the place where you entered the T code. Press enter. Now it is in edit mode.
Execute (click on Clock icon). A new screen appears.
Enter The Current Year: Current Month: Year of the previous Month: Previous month: Last year: Last month of the calendar year. As asked in the screen.
Press enter. Save and come outside.
Please do remember all the time period should be as per your system calendar.
Also do remember this is only workable when you are using IDES for education purpose only. Because skipping so many periods in between can cause problems when you are on real time scenario. Using MMPV is the standard procedure where you close the periods one by one.
Try it.
Update forum.

Posting only possible in periods 2011/11 and 2011/10 in company code 4000

Hi All Experts,
I have encountered with this error while doing MIGO.
Posting only possible in periods 2011/11 and 2011/10 in company code 4000
Message no. M7053
Diagnosis
The posting date entered is not within one of the permitted posting periods (current period/previous period).
This can be due to one of two reasons:
The correct current period has not been set in the system.
For the system, the first of the entered periods is the current period. At the beginning of a new period, your systems administrator must change the current period in the material master record, using the function "Shift periods". This has not yet been done.
You have entered a wrong date in the field "Posting date".
Procedure
Check the posting date and correct it if necessary. If your input is correct, inform your systems administrator that the "period shifting" (period-end closing) process has not yet been completed.
I have checked OB52, OB29, OB37, MMPV, MMRV. All possible T.codes and threads I tried from SDN itself, still no luck ! In OB52 I have opened 2011 & 2012 year open absolute.
Would like to share MMRV settings :-
Current Period : 11 / 2011
Previous Period : 10 / 2011
Last period in prev year : 12 / 2010
We have India based client so fiscal year variant is Apr to March copied from V3.
Will be very much appreciable experts guidane !

Sharvari Joshi.

Hi All Experts,
I raised the OSS, and here which I got the reply from SAP.
There is a possibility to run the report RMMMINIT to initialize posting
periods. Please bear in mind that 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.
Please also review attached 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 attached 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. Please perform this at your own risk as this hotline
will not support any problems arising out of it.
Related the error message MM016 please follow the steps from note
487381:
To reserve the parameter use transaction SU01 for the user's name who
executes the RMMMINIT program. The parameter must be set as follows:
Parameter Value
MMPI_READ_NOTE YYYYMMDD (for the current date)
I am not able make out any meaning out of it. Can anyone please understand me this ?
Help will be appreciated !
Reagrds,
Sharvari Joshi.
P.S : Steps from my side which I performed , I changed the parameters for my ID in SU01 to current date 2011.11.16 (YYYYMMDD) and running MMPI still same error.

Hi,
Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Code and back posting is allowed or not.
In MMPV open period 09 with your company code.
Note-1: Check Fiscal Period Variant in OBY6..........is it K4.
Note-2: From FI side check or Now use t.code: OB52 and open the 09, 2009 period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type and save. Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.

Difference between trax MMPV and MMPI

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between transaction codes MMPI and MMPV?
Regards
NDS

MMPI
To use MMPI for period initialization, you need to give the parameter ID MMPI_READ_NOTE in the user ID of the concerned user and give the value as current date in the form YYYYMMDD.
In order to be able to have the period closing program running, you must reserve parameter ID MMPI_READ_NOTE with the current date in the user parameters with the current date in form YYYYMMDD (Y = year, M = month, D = day).
Check rhe following OSS notes for further clarification:
487381, 369637
MMRV -->
To Check the Current Period in company and to allow postings in previous periods.
MMPV -->
To Close the Current Period and to re open the Next Period for postings.

How to update closing period using MMPV after a long period

We have IDES which we use in our lab. Since there is no regular admin, we didn't close periods using MMPV since last March. So the dates are 03/2006.
I know that I can't simply type 03/2007. I know that I have to first close 03/2006, then 04/2006 and so on.
But when I enter that, I get an error saying that 2006 is not the current calendar year. So I am kind of stuck. It doesn't let me enter 2006. So I don't know how to close those periods and bring the material master to current.
Is there a way to do that?
Regards.
P

I realized my mistake. That message (2006 is not the current year) was just a warning. When I click Execute button, I get this warning. Then I clicked the red check mark (near top left corner), which caused the period to close.
