Restrict the posting period opening and closing for some users

Dear SAP gurus,
I want to restrict some users to open the posting period and for some users close posting periods. I knew that these can be done through authorization group. Pls explain how to create authorization groups and how to use those? Anybody can help me out?
Regards,
Venkata Reddy

Dear Venkatareddy,
There are two sets of period in OB52. The first set of "From" and "To" is for the authorised group and second set is for the non authorised group. In the "Authorisation Group" (last column) give some 4 charecters name. Say "FICO".
Now ask the basis to attach the object "FICO" for the users who are authorised say user1, user 2 and user3.
Now in the first set of period you can maintain say 1 2008 to 16 2008 and in the second set 1 2008 to 1 2008.
So except user1,2 and 3, all the others can post only in 1 2008. Whereas users 1,2 and3 can post in all the periods of 2008.
Assign points if useful

Posting period on status "period closing" allows enter goods receipt

Hi to all:
My customer is having the problem that the posting periods that is on status "period closing" allows users to save goods receipt and goods issue that DON'T have the authorizations under:
1) General / Period status: Unlocked Except Sales
2) General / Period status: Closing Period
But any other kind of marketing document, journal entry, shows the error correctly:
"user is not authorized for data entry in posting periods with status 'Closing Period'. Contact your Administrator"
According to the Help of SBO, the period status authorizations are:
"Unlocked Except Sales u2013 all types of transactions and documents, except for the documents under the Sales u2013 A/R module."
"Period Closing u2013 users who have period closing authorization can post all types of transactions and documents."
We are using Period Closing option for example in May, but even i dont have the authorizations for these options, and i can enter goods receipt and goods issue without problems, is this normal? and Why?
I only think it could be that goods issue and goods receipt is seen like a stock fix transaction but im not shure about this.
I have tested this in PL42 and PL46, thanks a lot for your help.

How to re-issue a disputed billing doc when mat posting period is closed

I'm working a client site that has to deal with disputed invoices that come in after the material posting period has been closed.
What needs to happen is that the billing document is cancelled (no problem) and this returns the stock (fuel put back in the tank).
Howeve, the problem is we do not know the best way to re-issue the billing document so that the posting date is against the original date which is often outside the current of previous month's posting period.
Is it practical to open the period prior to last month again? We suspect that this may cause more issues than it solves. What tis the industry standard process for dealing with such disputes?
Thanks for your suggestions
Phil

Hi,
It is not good to open the period again, as you are in current period.
The best business practise is to raise an return order request against the billing docuement followed by credit memo to give the credit to customer. The return delivery also will be created against return order as you need to return the suplied goods.
The sales docuement type 'RE' is used for sales return in standard SAP, followed by delivery docuement type 'RE' and billing type 'RE' (Credit Memo).

Vivek.

BADIACREV in Closed FI Posting Period

Will this function module work to reverse a document in a posting period that is closed in t-code OB52? I am a functional person being asked to test out functionality to automatically reverse a document after it initially posts.

Hi
You have multiple posting period variants (multiple company code wise).
After the creation of posting period variant in OBBO you will assign the posting period variant to Company code in OBBP.Once you assign one posting period variant to company code , the posting period is restricted to that company code only.
use Authorization groups if you want to restrict the posting periods to the users.
suppose that authorization group for user A is A.
Go to OB52 -
>Open/Close posting periods.
Variant(posting period variant) , Account type , From Period1(6) , Year(2008) , To Period1(6) , Year(2008) , From Period2(7) , Year(2008) , To Period(7) , Authorization Group(A)
This means that periods 6 and 7 are accessible to Authorization group A and Period 7 is accessible to rest of the authorization groups.
This will solve your issue.

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.

Posting Period Authorization

SAP Version: SAP B1 8.8 PL 10
Hi All,
            On 1st of every month we close the Previous moth Posting Period, so that No user can Add or Update any Documents which belongs to the previous month. But we had to give authorization to few managers to update.
            We tried to achieve this in this way:
            1. Previous month Posting period set to Closing Period
            2. Set Authorization to all users No Authorization for Period Status: Closing Period & Period Status: Unlocked Except Sales in Authorization window.
            3. And Set Posting Periods to NO Authorization in authorization window.
                   By Doing this should make all users who have got NO Authorization to Period Closing should not be allowed to Update OR Add any Documents which belongs to Previous month.
                   But this is not happening. I am able to cancel the document and add the document in to previous month logging into the user who doesn't have authorizations to do so.
Is there any other way to Achieve this.
Cheers,
Sree.

Check the solution as follows:
dministration -> System Initialization -> Posting Periods
   1. The implications of different Posting Period Status.
When Posting Period status is set as:
Locked
any data entry or journal entry will be disabled for all users.
Unlocked
data or journal entry can be done by any user in this period provided that General Authorization does not restrict the user from certain actions.The functionality is as the following combination of fields values 'Active'=Yes, 'Locked'=No from the previous versions.
Unlocked Except Sales
data and journal entry can be entered within all document types appplications and tools except any Sales document under (Sales - AR). The functionality is as the following combination of fields values 'Active = No, 'Locked'= No from the previous versions. Work under this period status is allowed only for those users who have assigned 'Full Authorization' in General Authorizations form -> General group -> Period Status: Unlocked Except Sales.
Closing Period
data and journal entry can be performed within all document types, applications and tools. Work under this period status is allowed only for those users who have assigned 'Full Authorization' in General Authorizations form -> General group -> Period Status: Period Closing.
NOTE: The Period Indicator set for certain Posting Period does not influence on the possibility of entering data (marketing documents and journal entries).
NOTE: When you log to a company after its upgrade from previous versions then SAP Business One checks for "Unlocked" and "Unlocked Except Sales" periods whether their 'To Date' are older than Actual System Date. If YES those period statuses are changed to "Period Closing".
It is also possible to switch on / off this automatic update of periodstatus and also define a delay in days. For more details please refer to the 'Automatic change of period status' section.
   1. Automatic change of period status:
Period status of just ended posting period (based on actual system date) should be automatically changed from "Unlocked" or "Unlocked Except Sales" to "Period Closing" after the very first log into the system in a new subsequent posting period (based on actual system date) when "Automatic Change of Period Status to 'Closing Period' " checkbox is checked and value in "Date When Automatic Change Is Applied" field equels 1 (what are actually their default settings after upgrade or when new company is created). However, if authorized user would change the period status back to "Unlocked" or "Unlocked Except Sales" from "Period Closing" and the system would be started again e.g. next day or simply in a few seconds later, automatic change would not be applied any more.
User can decide to disable function of Automatic Change of Period Status by unchecking "Automatic Change of Period Status to 'Closing Period' " checkbox.
User can also decide to execute automatic change on the second or later day in new period or even the period after by entering a new value in "Date When Automatic Change Is Applied" field on Posting Period. When the value = 1, the change is applied on the first or later day of new period depending on the first login into the system. When the value = 2, the change is applied on the second or later day depending on the first login into the system. Default value for new company and after upgrade is 1.
   1. "Posting Date To" field is disabled.
When you try to add a new Posting Period, SAP Business One offers the next free year which has not been defined yet. For example, when you have already defined Posting Period for 2006 year and then you want to add a new one, SAP Business One proposes you the next 2007 year (in Administration -> System Initialization -> Posting Periods -> orange arrow callingparticular posting period form -> 'Dates From... To' fields) automatically. Moreover, when you want to add a not annual period (e.g. quarter, month, etc.) then even if the "Posting Date To" field is disabled and has wrong value in process of adding, after the period is created the value of the field "Posting Date To" is recalculated and changed to correct date (usually end of the year).
   1. When any data or journal entry is being created behind some system document (exactly when a user tries to add the document), SAP Business One checks whether the entered date value in 'Posting Date' field fits any defined posting period. If NOT i.e. there is no posting period defined coveringthe entered Posting Date, the following system error message will appear as a pop-up: 'Posting Date deviates from the defined range. To complete the action, define posting period matching the entered Posting Date.'
   2. When deleting Posting Periods (by sub-periods) SAP Business One checks whether there is no data entered within the particular period, additionally SAP Business One checks if at least one very last posting sub-period remains defined in the database. If not, the deletion will not be allowed under any circumstances. As part of this restriction, the following system error message will appear for the user: 'Cannot remove the last period'.
it is from SAP note 1050246. if not resolve, log a message to SAP support or upgrade the PL version from 10 to 13.

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 !

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.

Posting period 002 2011 is not open (MRKO)

Dear experts,
I process Vendor consignment:
1. Goods receipt - 501K
2. Transfer posting - 411K
3. MRKO
On MRKO, I choose Document date and Posting date is: 17.12.2010
Open period in MM: 01/2011 (12/2010)
Now is 02/2011 but I want to post in 17.12.2010
I get this error:
Posting period 002 2011 is not open
Message no. F5201
Diagnosis
Period 002 of fiscal year 2011 is not open for posting for the variant of posting period 2650.
System Response
Processing cannot be continued.
Procedure
The error can have several causes. In order to eliminate the error, proceed as follows:
1. Check whether the posting date was entered correctly. The system determines the posting period by means of the date.
2. Check whether the required posting period is open for posting for the variant of posting period 2650 and account type +. Make sure that the period is open for posting.
To do this, specify a period interval in which the required period for the variant of posting period 2650 and account type + is contained.
You make these settings in Customizing of Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Fiscal Year and Posting Periods - > Posting Periods -> Open and Close Posting Periods.
Plz help!

Hi,
If you are sure Open period in MM: 01/2011 (12/2010) & 02/2011 not opened( can be cross checked in MMRV)
As you want post in 12/2010,then use t.code: OB52 and open the 12, 2010 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.

Re open the closed Posting Periods - Very Urgent

Dear Experts,
We have an urgent problem to solve.The company code currently we are configuring uses fiscal year (oct - Sept) and the other company codes in our client site uses (jan -Dec). So by mistake we closed posting periods using MMPV upto 2007 03 but it should be 2006 06(correct me if i am wrong).
As we are still in baseline configuration we don't have any material document in the current company code. From this forum I got some solution to intialize the posting period using MMPI(which directed me to use SAP Note 487381).
Now if I do MMPI with the directions mentioned in SAP Note 487381, will i face any problem now & in future.
Please suggest me and help me as has become hurdle for the test process.
Thanks in Advance...
Nagesh Aswartha

Hi Aswartha
As you do not have any material documents , pl go ahead and initialize the periods. Should not be a problem.
I normally do this to avoid errors:
In MMPV, never give a period. Enter the current date(or first date of the month) in the date field and execute closing program.
Best regards
Ramki

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.

Kavitha

Posting period closing

Hi Gurus,
Can any one tell me is it neccessary to close the posting period every month. Can i have th posting period for my client open for one full year. which means open and close the posting period only once a year, rather than opening and closing every month.
Please advise
Thanks in advance.
Anoop

The answer to your question would be YES. you can have a past period open and leave it at that for however long you want to..
ex, you want aug 2008 open for the next 6 months
Currently in the system, if you have back posting active, then July 08, and Aug 08 are open
now do not close the period until the next 6 months...so July 08, and Aug 08 will stay open..
Now lets say, September has come, date 09-02-08.. A GR or IR Would not let you post as September is not open yet.. you'd have to choose a date in Jul 08 or Aug 08.. Which again would be incorrect.
so, bottom line.. close the period at the end of each month, else you cannot post to the current calendar month

Posting period 09 2011 is closed centrally
