Period Initailising

Hi
Iam getting this error when trying to open Initailise the period for October (10th Month) using MMPI.
I have already closed the period for 8th Month using MMPV.
Error:
Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization Message no. MM016
Diagnosis
You want to run the period initialization program. Note that when you start the period closing with initialization, inconsistencies can arise.
ProcedureNote 487381 describes the possible data inconsistencies that can occur if you perform initialization in a productive system. The inconsistencies cannot be traced back to a system error, but instead the period closing with initialization. Therefore, these inconsistencies can only be cleared by using the chargeable remote consulting service. This is because in releases higher than SAP R/3 4.5, the period closer does not normally have to be started with initialization.
What is the problem and how can i resolve this???
Regards
Vijay

Hello,
Actually no need to go to MMPI for this
As you have checked period is showing is 09 current and 08 previous period.
Now if you want to open oct and you are on english calender that is JAn to dec.
then in MMPV
Put copany code
put month as 10
put fiscal year as 2007
Then check and close period
system opens 10th period and closes 08
this is what you want
Please ckeck and confirm

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!

Issue with Period Control 03 for Depri key MSTL with 6446

Hi Gurus,
We want to use mid-month calculation for Dep. key MSTL using period control 03 (i.e. 03/03/03/03). We are also using 6446 as year-depedent Fiscal year (i.e. Jan and Dec 6 weeks other rest 4 weeks). period control 03 is pro rata at mid period
period 12 for 2009 start 11/14/09 ends 12/25/09
period 1 for 2010 start   12/26/09 ends 02/05/10
as per period control 03 mid month is Dec-04-2009 (setup in OAVH)
When i acquire an asset on Dec-04-09, the dep start date is Nov-14-09 which is correct and all calculation is correct
however when i acquire an asset on Dec-06-09 the dep start date is still Nov-14-09 which is not correct infact it should start dep from next month which will be Dec-26-09 (This is 1st period of Fiscal year 2010)
As mentioned above we are using 6-4-4-6 fiscal year
When acquiring an asset with mid month concept at year end we are facing problem in depri start date and hence calculation.
The setting in OAVH for period control 03 are as below
FV   Period Control     Desc.                             Year   Month   Day    Period    MidMonth
NL        03              Pro rata at mid period          2009    12        4         12           ticked
NL        03              Pro rata at mid period          2009    12        25       12           ticked
NL        03              Pro rata at mid period          2009    12        31        1            ticked
NL        03              Pro rata at mid period          2010    1          15        1            ticked
Thanks in advance

Deepak,
Your period 12/2009 starts and ends between 11/14/09 ends 12/25/09. Now you acquire an asset on 12/4/2009. As per OAVH, you want depreciation calculation start mid-period. Then how is depreciation start date of Nov 14, 2009 for this case?
Then you acquire an asset on Dec6, 2009. This, as per OAVH, falls into period 12/2009. Then why should the calculation start from period 1/2010 for this case?
Thanks,
Asheesh

Pension payment period record issue in Retiree Payroll

Dear Experts,
We are implementing Retiree payroll with new set of wagetypes and payroll area. Now requirement is that there needs to be a provision of recording the balance period of pension payment and further it should be displayed in the form of report. That means say employee has the eligibility of receiving pension from 01.12.1998 to 14.11.2015 and he has received it till Oct, 2010, remaining balance period needs to be projected in month and days like 60.14/98.12 etc.
Now please suggest how to achieve it, should we create a custom infotype for storing it or any other way is there.
Thanks and regards
Tan

It is Indian payroll.
Requirement is to store the balance period of pension payment, like if one employee is eligible to get pension ( as per our pension benefit scheme) for 10 years 3months 15 days since his retirement date and has already received for 36 months i.e. 3years, we need to store and display that he is eligible to get pension for another 7years 3months 15 days in 87.15 format (i.e. 7*12+3= 87months and 15days) on monthly basis.
This will be also captured in a report later on.
Please suggest

What causes cellular data usage to decrease if last reset has not changed? I reset every pay period cuz I do not have unlimited and was showing 125 mb sent/1.2g received. Now showing 98mb sent/980mb received. Last reset still shows same

I reset my cellular data usage every month at the beginning of my billing period so that I can keep track of how much data I am using thru out the month. I do not have the unlimited data plan and have gone over a few times. It's usually the last couple days of my billing cycle and I am charged $10 for an extra gig which I barely use 10% of before my usage is restarted for new billing cycle. FYI, they do not carry the remainder of the unused gig that you purchase for $10 which I disagree with. But have accepted. Lol Moving on.
I have two questions. One possibly being answered by the other. 1. Is cellular data used when I sync to iTunes on my home computer to load songs onto my iPhone from my iTunes library(songs that already exist)? 2. What causes the cellular data usage readings in iPhone settings/general/usage/cellular usage to decrease if my last reset has not changed? It is close to end of my billing cycle and I have been keeping close eye. Earlier today it read around 180mb sent/1.2gb received. Now it reads 90mb sent/980 mb recieved. My last reset date reads the same as before. I don't know if my sync and music management had anything to do with the decrease but i didn't notice the decrease until after I had connected to iTunes and loaded music. I should also mention that a 700mb app automatically loaded itself to my phone during the sync process. Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage? Guess turned out to be more than two questions but all related. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. It is information I find valuable. Sorry for the book long question.

Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage?
1) No.
2) It does provide an estimated usage, but it's not accurate. For accurate determination, you should check the remaining/used MBs from the carrier (most of the carriers provide this service for free).

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. It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.
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

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.

Gopi Krishna

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 ...

Open and close period

hi all,
i want the details about opening a period and closing a period, can we post a document which is in previous in previous period...
cheers
Amith

Hi,
No, You can not post a document which is in previous in previous period.You can post document in MM side in Current period and Curent minus one period, if set back posting allowed in MMRV.
In T.code: MMRV and you can see which period is open for ur Co.Codeand back posting is allowed or not.In MMPV close the period last period and automatically system open the new one, Its only control in MM Side.
In FI side , they use t.code: OB52 and open the period in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type. In FI side you can open period more then two period in OB52 step.
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.For more read the SAP Note:487381 and 369637.
If ur working in SandBoxx u can follow the these steps but not in Production:
1. use t.code OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. use t.code OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.use t.code OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.
But after doing all steps, u can see all G/L assign in OBYC, will be deleted, you have assign again in OBYC.

Open and close posting periods for at ledger level

Hello,
We are running on ECC6 with the new ledger. We have activated two ledgers (the leading ledger and a non-leading ledger for group reporting). Our client would like to manage the posting period at ledger level.
Example: during the month closing, the Leading ledger is closed on the previous month at Day +4, while the non-leading ledger is closed at Day +5.
Is there a way to open/close period at ledger level only ?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Steven Moulinot

It is possible to assign a different posting period variant to company code in a non-leading ledgers (the extreme right field) in the foll. node in SPRO.

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

thanks and regrds
dipti

Hi,
You can customise in Fiscal year Varient, If you are maintaining V3 then assign posting period days to March as 30 days and create period 13 as special period. Now you are able to block periods 1 to 12 in OB52 and allow user in posting period 13 (special period) i.e for March 31st
Try it.

Open and close Posting Periods. Different societies.

Hi all.
We have 2 societies 0001 and 0002.
In transaction S_ALR_87003642 or OB52 I want that user of society 0001 only can see posting periods of his society ( 0001 ) and the same with society 0002 users.
How I can do this ???
thanks a lot.

Hi,
This requires bit of ABAP help.
WE have achieved this scenario successfully based on the information provided below -(found the source on the internet!)
Goto SE11 copy the view V_T001B to ZV_T001B_000X (000X indicate the Posting Variant)
In Change mode, tabstrips Selection Conditions Insert line 2 with
Table     Field Name   Operator   Comparative Value    AND/OR
T001B   BUKRS           EQ            '000X'                          AND
Save your entries
Third Step :-
Goto SE54, Options Generated Objects -> Create
Authorizations Group FC31
Function Group          Z00F0
Maintenance Type     One Type
Overview Screen       65
Single Screen             0
Final Step :-
Goto SE93, Create a new transaction code ZOB52_000X
Start object - Transaction with parameters (parameter transaction)
Transaction SM30, Tick Skip initial screen
Name of screen field       Value
VIEWNAME                     ZV_T001B_000X
UPDATE                           X
Save your entries.
Now have the ABAPer to have company code on the selection screen. Based on user selection, invoke the corresponding neww transaction code ZOB52_000X which will only display the
Posting Variant that you have define in your table view.
Hope this solves your problem.

Open and Close periods/Fiscal years

Dear All
We are in the process of FM-BCS implementation, we observed thre is transaction code (FMOPER) for open the Budget periods. This is working for Budget workbech (FBMM) only. But at the time of Actual Postings even period is not open in FMOPER system is allowing for actual postings.
Kindly suggest where we can control actual postings through period open/cose option in FM-BCS.
Thanks in advance
Rao

Hi Rao,
You need to be aware of all the impact of the use of PBET (Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking) before activating it in transaction OF39. This is not a simple change, it impacts all your integrated postings that come from all other areas (FI, CO, MM, SD) into FM.
You cannot use any FM update date other than the POSTING date when PBET is active.
One common error when you activate PBET is FI_E050 - Posting date/period 00/00/0000 is earlier than existing
date/period 00/00/0000.
If you want updating to take place on the delivery date, you must return profile to Fiscal Year Based (non-PBET) updating.
This step will also eliminate the error FI_E050.
Part of the basic PBET logic, aims at recording a detailed change history of every single document in FM.
For more details on this, please also refer to the program documentation and chapter Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Recording Actual and Commitment Data -> Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking.
The standard functionality when PBET is active is to use the system date as the FM posting date. However, you do have 3 options to overwrite this:
Document Creation:
1.- Version Management (PR/PO)
2.- FM updating date is the document posting date.
Document Change:
1.- System use FM_TRANS_DATE date as FM updatign date, if this date is not filled, system use system date as FM updating date.
If customer want to change this logic, the FM updating date is decided by one of the following three steps, in order shown.
- Version Management (PR/PO): Posting date of version
- Transaction FMOD to override the update date by user
- Activate user exit EXIT_SAPLFMFA_004 so that a popup screen is
displayed that permits entering the FM posting date, you could
manually set the date found in the document header to a later date.
- you could manually set the date found in the document header to a
later date (System date SY_DATUM).
PBET is Periodic-based encumbrance tracking and it is a function that monitors encumbrances per period, with a change record issued for each change made within a period. This function belongs to Funds Management Area (PSM-FM).
If PBET is active, system does not allow posting to a date earlier than the present date, you will receive error FI_E050 in case this is not satisfied. Follow are two comments form the code which indicate same:
"No new dates can be earlier than the original or new account assignment line items".
"Ensure that new fm update dates are not older than original date or if a change, this change must be latest date in document"
To use or not to use PBET is customer decision and this impact that the period is verified more strictly than without PBET. Maybe you should consider with your consultant if using PBET is the best solution for your business processes.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.
