ESYU: "Open/Close Periods" 와 "Control Purchasing Periods"의 차이점

Purpose
Oracle Purchasing - Version: 11.5.10
FORM:POXSTCPP.FMB - Control Purchasing Periods GUI
FORM:GLPRDED.FMB - Open/Close Periods
"Open/Close Periods" 와 "Control Purchasing Periods"의 차이점이 무엇인지
알아본다.
Solution
1. Purchasing Periods 관리
(Purchasing-->Setup -->Financials --> Accounting-->Control Purchasing Periods)
Control Purchasing Periods는 Purchasing Period를 관리한다.
Purchasing periods는 Receiving Sub Ledger에 ledger 입력을 관리한다.
Purchase Orders와 Receipts(만일 PO를 Inventory로 넘겨줘야 한다면 transaction date는
Inventory Accounting Period 안에 있어야 한다) process를 위해서는 Purchasing period는
Open 되어져야 한다.
만일 예산 관리/Encumbrance Accounting을 사용한다면, Purchasing은 PO distribution과
Requisition distributions에 입력된 GL date가 open Purchasing period 안에 있는 날짜인지를
검토한다.
만일 집중화된 Procurement를 사용한다면, Purchase Orders와 Receipt process를 원하는
모든 Business units 안의 Purchasing Period는 Open 상태로 남아 있는지 확인해야 한다.
2. Open/Close Period
(Purchasing-->Setup-->Financials --> Accounting-->Open/Close Period).
이 화면은 GL periods를 관리한다.
GL periods는 GL에서 posting과 journal 입력을 관리한다.

Note 394361.1

Hi Vamsi,
Thanks for your response and our company metalink account has been expired, and Oracle no longer support us.
I want to confirm that, do you mean that I update the adjustment month on gl_period_status, then the system can generate the 'missing' inventory accounting period and purchasing period, and also other periods that should be existed?
Thanks for kindly help!

Open Close Periods

Hi,
   I have a requirement that access to the transaction for OPEN CLOSE PERIODS
   (S_ALR_87003642) needs to be provided only to the users who are authorized
   to open close periods for specific company codes. This transaction does not
   have a user interface and displays all the data for all the company codes
   irrespective to the authorization of the user for accessing the transaction for only
   specific company codes.
   I need to display data only for specific compnay codes based on the user
   authorization. Is it possible to achieve this functionally assuming that the user
   has authorization set up to access and modify data only for specific company
   codes and not to all.
Thanks,
Vamseedhar K

Hi
I think you can use authorization object S_TABU_LIN, please check with basis security guy.

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.
Regards,
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
reward points if helpful

GL - Open/Close Periods

After setting up Set of books (along with chart of accounts, calendar, and functional currency, etc.) I opened the first period as Dec 04, although my first financial year will be from January 05 to Dec 05. Then I tried opening next period (which should Jan 05) but the concurrent process failed.
I thought it might be because there is no data in Dec 04 (i.e. current period). I then used journals to post account balances (for assets and liabilities + shareholders equity) to Jan 04. Then I closed the current period and tried to open next period again but the concurrent process failed!
Please tell me what I need to do in non-technical language, so that next period can open. I am a functional user, not a technical consultant!
No concurrent reports were produced but the View log is pasted below. Please note that I did define calendar periods before defining Set of Books and the periods are all in the LOV window for Open/Close!
OOAP0010: Please define Calendar Periods before opening them.

Hi Everyone,
I've been able to resolve this problem by myself. If you care to know, the problem was with calendar validation. I didn't check the concurrent validation report before assigning the calendar to my SOB. I have now checked it and corrected the error. I can now open and close periods. Let me know if you need more info.

Open/close periods menu

I want to design a menu for one user who is responsible for open/close all ebs periods.
I have 2 Set of Books means 2 periods for GL.
I have 2 each operating units and inventory orgs means 4 each for purchasing/inventory/ap/ar
I have designed menu but its not working.
I have created a 4 menus with responsibilities assigned OU Wise from system profile option but its not working.
Yours help required.

I am not a functional expert, but several profile options (MO Operating Unit, GL Set of Books etc) will have to be set at the responsibility level for each responsibility in order for them to pick up the correct SOB. I believe this is documented in the GL Manuals at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/html/docset.html

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.

Open / Close period

Dear Experts,
I am trying to open a posting period for Account Type 'V' with a specific Account Number Range.
But the system is showing me the following error message:
"For account type 'V', do not specify account numbers"
Please advice me why can't i provide account number range to this account range?
Thanks
Gunjan

Hi,
To post a document in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, the relevant posting period must be open.
You define whether a posting period is open in Customizing (see IMG structure: Financial Accounting ® Global Settings ® Document ® Posting Periods ® Open and Close Posting Periods).
You can only carry out a posting in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable if the period is allowed under account type V for contract accounts and under the masked entry '*'.
If a period is to be closed only for postings in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable but not for other postings, close this period using the account type entry V. In addition, the system also checks the entries with account type S at G/L account level. Do not specify any account numbers for the contract accounts entry, or for the entry * (all account types).
In order to be able to post in contract accounts receivable and payable after a release change from Release 4.51 (or earlier) to Release 4.61, enter account type V for all variants in the posting periods.

Srinu

Hello,
For creating authorization group please follow as below:
Add the posting period authorization (authorization object F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an authorization group (ex: 0001). Enter the account type 'S' for the posting period variant to which the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all users in the other account group, and the authorization group (ex: 0001) in the last column.
Try this it should work
Thanks

Period open date in FA_DEPRN_PERIODS

I want to know what controls period open date and close in FA_DEPRN_PERIODS
table. We have first open period (JAN-02) for year 2002 from '02/27/2002' and
now we have some depriciation transaction for this year (2002) before this
date.
So when we are running Journal Entry Reserve ledger Report for this year then
those transaction are not matching showing up because they are before
'02/27/2002'. So can I update period open date to early date or what is the
impact on system.

Did you refer note 1061798.1
If this note didn't help you,
let us know the version also let us know if the GL period is ever used.
