PO Accruals and closing Purchasing periods

Hi, can anybody confirm how many purchasing periods should be open at any one time. We are having a problem with the accruals and I am trying to understand the correct procedure for re-setting the purchasing accruals. I am aware that by closing the purchasing period you re-set the previously accrued receipts. Does it matter if I have periods 8,9,10 open and then close period 8 before opening period 11 to re-set the accruals.
Thanks
Keith

If you are asking the best practice, then here it is.
Ideally Inventory & Purchasing periods should be closed very month.
So only one "should" be open.
Thanks & Regards

HOW WE FIND OUT OPEN PURCHASE ORDER AND CLOSED PURCHASE IN THE TABLE?

HI,
PLZZ HELP ME.
what are fields names for open purchase order and closed purchase order
thanks

Hi param,
Go to mseg table, pass the purchase order number and purchase order item. if the mseg-menge = ekpo-menge for the corresponding purchase order then consider the purchase order is close, else it is still open. even check if the entries are not there for corresponding purchase order in mseg table then also it is open.
select mblnr zeile matnr menge from mseg into it_mseg where ebeln = it_ekko-ebeln
and ebelp = it_ekpo-ebeln.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
then consider the purchase order is open.
This is the first case.
even u can consider like this
if sy-subrc = 0.
if it_ekpo-menge > it_mseg-menge.
then also the purchase order is open.

Purchasing Accruals on Closed Purchase Orders

I am having an issue with Purchasing accruals being performed on a closed purchase order. The accrual does not appear in the Uninvoiced Transactions Register, but is accrued in the Purchasing journal entry nonetheless. The purchase order is "closed". I am trying to figure out why the amount is being accrued and how to stop the accrual. Anyone have any ideas? Is this a bug or should I try to "Finally Close" the PO?
I also noticed that when this PO accrued in the first month, there were two accrual lines for the purchase order. One had a correct accrual of $67.20 and then there was a second line of $14.70 that was accrued for the PO. The $14.70 is the amount that has been continuing to accrue even though the PO has been "closed".
This is in version 11.5.
Thank you,
Erik

Here are the details of the PO:
Quantity = 1
Qty Rec'd = 1
Qty Billed = 1
Qty Cancelled = 1
Cancelled (flag) = No flag
Hi Erik,
interesting case ! Please note above. You have mentioned "Qty Cancelled = 1", is it a typo?
Assuming that it is a typo error, I don't think finally closing it will solve the problem.
Apart from quantity difference in received vs. billing there may be other cases like incorrect PO or invoice unit price, supplier billing discrepancies (since you have mentioned billing was in installments).
I'll suggest the following checks first before taking any action. Please test in a cloned instance first
- Run "Accrual Reconciliation Report" / "Accrual Rebuild Reconciliation Report" and check what is coming ... do you see the problematic entry
- Check whether there are any other reasons apart from quantity received vs. invoiced mismatch
- Try Accrual Write-Off option in Purchasing to clear that entry (refer PO
- Pass a manual journal entry in GL
For the last 2 steps consult with finance guys.
You can use Accrual Write Off Report as reference for manual journal entry in GL.
Once you are satisfied with the results, apply the solution in production with approval from finance.
Another option could be to use a "dummy" invoice to match the remaining amount.
Please let me know the results.
Good luck!
Thanks

Distinguishing Open and Closed Purchase Orders

We have a BI query which shows all Purchase Orders split by line item.
We would like to be able to determine which of those Purchase Order line items is closed within the core SRM system and which are still open.
Is anybody aware of an InfoObject that would allow us to do that?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Positive Parrot

You need to ask your functional team or business how they close Purchase Orders. Most companies I have been at never close the orders or line items.
At one company, I had an Open Order report requirement and it was messy. I had to identify which line items still had an open quantity and then load those line items only into a cube.
I wrote a ton of code to do this and had a few ODS objects to help out. This wasn't an easy task.
Hopefully for your sake, your company uses the 0COMPL_DEL (Delivery Completion) characteristic or 0FINAL_INV (Final Invoice Recieved indicator) characteristic and you can base your decision on the values in those fields.
I am assuming you are looking at the 2LIS_02_SCL extractor for Purchasing Schedule Lines....
Good luck,
Brian

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:

Open and Closed periods

Dear FI experts,
For FISL, can I say that a closed period can be modified and closed again?
For example, periods 1-6 have been closed.
Correction or adjustment need to be done in period 2. Period 3-6 balances are affected. So, how is the adjustment applied to the 6 periods? In this case, a closed period becomes opened again? Is such a scenario possible?
Thanks
Adette

Opening and closing periods in FI

Dear FICO experts,
Just a quick question regarding OB52.
We have only 1 company code, can we use the same posting period variant in mulitple line items for the combination ALL account types and a range of periods that are open?
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011
Posting period variant:0001 (continue making new posting period variants for all account types as needed)
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2012
Period to: 12
Year: 2012
OR
Do we just adjust the one line item: example below
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011 (keep ajdusting this one line item whenever we need to open new periods for all account types)
Thanks, Deb
Moderator: Company code is assigned to one variant; so the question is irrelevant

Hi,
The Posting Period Variant is just defined once and is not year dependent.
The second option that you maintained is the way how the Posting Periods are maintained.
Against the Same Posting period variant, you can have your open and closed periods and years maintained year after year.
Generally, you keep only 1 period in a year open, the current period, and at the most 2-3 periods in some cases, and that you can easily maintain in Range.
Hope this clarifies..

Hi,
user11118871 wrote:
Can you explain what that is? Thank you if you have one example.
ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 1 PRECEDING
When you use the analytic SUM (c) function, then, on each row, it returns the values of column (or expression) c from several rows in the result set added together.
Which rows? That depends.
If the analytic clause (the part in parentheses after OVER) does not include ORDER BY, then it is all rows.
If the analytic clause has an ORDER BY clause, but no windowing clause (that is, ROWS BETWEEN ... or RANGE BETWEEN ...), then the rows included in the sum are all rows up to and including the row where the function is being called (as sorted by the analytic ORDER BY).
If the analytic cluase has both ORDER BY and a windowing clause "ROWS BETWEEN x PRECEDING AND y PRECEDING", then the rows included in the sum are the rows from x to y rows before the one where the function is called.
Do some experiments with different values of x and y.
First, create a table like the one in the problem above, but simplified a little.
CREATE TABLE     test_sum
(      period     NUMBER
,      new_amt     NUMBER
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24108,     1);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24109,     4);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24110,     2);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24111,     8);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (25001,     32);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (25002,     16);
COMMIT;The original problem above used names that were meaningful for its application, and columns that have nothing to do with the SUM function. Let's simplify the former and lose the latter.
That problem involved the SUM of three columns added together. Since we just want to understand how the windowing clause works, let's simplify that to one column.
With these simplifications, my original query is:
SELECT       period
,       new_amt
,       SUM (new_amt) OVER ( ORDER BY          period
                                     ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
                             AND          1            PRECEDING
                    ) AS opening_balance
,       SUM (new_amt) OVER ( ORDER BY          period
                    ) AS closing_balance
FROM       test_sum
ORDER BY period;Given the data above, it produces these results:
.   PERIOD    NEW_AMT OPENING_BALANCE CLOSING_BALANCE
     24108          1                               1
     24109          4               1               5
     24110          2               5               7
     24111          8               7              15
     25001         32              15              47
     25002         16              47              63So, for example, on the row where period=24110,
opening_balance=5, which is the total of new_amt from all rows up to but not including that row: 5=1+4, and
closing_balance=7, which is the total of new_amt from all rows up to and including that row: 7=1+4+2.
To really understand how the windowing clause works, do some experiments. Change the definition of opening_balance to include " BETWEEN x PRECEDING AND y PRECEDING". You'll find that:
(a) "UNBOUNDED PRECEDING" means the same as "n PRECEDING", where n is greater than the number of rows in your result set.
(b) "CURRENT ROW" means the same as "0 PRECEDING"
(c) x must be greater than or equal to y
(d) neither x nor y can be negative (but you can use "FOLLOWING" instead of "PRECEDING" to get the same effect).
For more, see the introduction to "Analytic Functions" in the [SQL Language manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions001.htm#sthref972]
When you're finished, don't forget to
DROP TABLE     test_sum;

Scheduling opening and closing FI posting periods

Hi,
Could you please let me know if there is any program to schdule the opening and closing of FI posting periods, rather than doing it manually every month end.
Thanks
Uma

Hi,
I was at a customer who had multiple company codes and they had the business requirement of closing differenet types of accounts on different dates. For this I had got a program developed wherein the users had to mention the closing date and the account number. This program would run every day and if the current date is eqaul to the closing date in the program, system would execute transaction OB52 and close the corresponding account.

Opening and closing periods in MM.

Hi all,
I am trying to close the period 2008/01 and open 2009/07 in MM, I tried to do it from mmpv and got this error, " Incorrect period in control rec. of CoCd 4000; no conversion. The current period (month/year) of the control record is 012008. I went to IMG using omsy and it referred me back to mmpv? anyone with a solution? Thanks.

Hi ,
You can't directly close 2008/01 and open 2009/07 .
You have to do it month wise .
For example your current period is 2008/01 ...so next you have to open 2008/02 then 2008/03 ....2009/07 .
So go to MMPV and close- open period as per my suggestion .

Anupam
