SAP HR /PY Accrual and posting Period

Hello SAP Experts,
The posting date of our Payroll is always 'Plus 2'. For example, if the fortnightly pay period ends on 29/5/2011, the posting date and the EFT release date will be 31/5/2011 - this pay period should therefore be included in May accounting.
However, our software vendor is telling us that where the posting date (i.e. pay period end plus 2) falls on the end of month date, that the system cannot recognize this pay period in May accounting. Rather this period will now be included in June accounting, and therefore, the system will calculate and post accruals in the previous pay period of 15/5/2011 i.e. 10 day accrual.
Is there a way that SAP can be configured to allow period 29/5/2011 to be included in May accounting and for No accruals to be calculated in the previous pay period?

Posting Period cut off

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have this situation, we are a manufacturing plant. Production is under shifting mode. We have two shifts A and C shift. A is 7AM-&7PM and C is 7PM-7AM.
Our Accounting and sales group (GL posting) want this cut off aligned to production cutoff in SAP posting period.
Would this be possible since when we do posting in SAP it captures system date and time? if possible, how is the procedures?
I appreciate any any comments and suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Nikhil,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/90/ba6609446711d189420000e829fbbd/content.htm
That a cutoff period is defined to protect the data of the previous period from being overwritten.
The cutoff period divides the life cycle of the production order into open and closed periods.
The work in process calculated up to the cutoff period is not changed the next time WIP is calculated.
The work in process calculated for later periods is overwritten by the current WIP calculation.
To prevent data that has already been posted from being changed, you usually define the cutoff period as the period preceding the results analysis period.
For a product cost collector, work in process is calculated in May, June, and July. The valuation for July should not change the work in process for May and June.
You set the cutoff period to period 06 and calculate work in process for results analysis period 07.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Fiscal period calculation

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein I need to get the following information.
I have a Fiscal period for Post_period1 which refers to the MARV-VMGJA/ MARV-VMMON, and another Fiscal period as Post_period2 which refers to MARV-VMMON.
I need to find out the fiscal period by deducting the posting period2 from posting period1
e.g. 2010/03 is the post_period1, 12 is post_period2 . I want the value which will be "2010/10 - 12". How can I achieve this?

Vaishali.

Posting periods issue though I updated in MMPV

Hi experts,
I created scheduline agreement and trying to do the PGI , system thrown an error saying 'posting periods possible only 9/2009 and 8/2009'. after this I closed the periods till sep09 in T.code MMPV, still the same error. is there anything else that I have to configure or check to resolve this issue. your help is neede.
Thanks,
Kanna.

Hi,
This is how you need to do it.
Go to Tx: OMSY or MMRV & check the current period against your company code.
Theory behind Posting Periods in SAP
Posting periods are calculated using a Config: Setting called u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D attached to the Company code. u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D is the deciding factor for the company code, whether to follow the calendar year or any other calculation method.
Eg: Fiscal year can be start from July & goes to the next year June for some companies.
Therefore what you see in the OMSY might not be the actual calendar month that SAP is referring.
(Eg: 01 means Jan, 02 means Feb, 03 means March, etc is not always the case)
So first you have to check the Fiscal Year attached to your company code.
Go to below path to check Fiscal Year attached to your company code.
IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> GIobaI Parameters for Company Code -> Enter GIobaI Parameters ->
Go in to your company & Check the Fiscal Year Variant field. There you can identify whether it equals to the calendar year or not. If its not clear, take that Fiscal year variant 7 go to below IMG path;
IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> FiscaI Year and Posting Periods -> Maintain FiscaI Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year)
Go in to the node.
Select the Fiscal year & double click on Periods node.
If Fiscal Year is same as calendar year, then you should have that u201CCalendar Yru201D tick box ticked.
Now check what's the SAP Fiscal month relevant to your calendar month.
The go to MMPV & open that relevant Fiscal month accordingly.
Then you should be able to post.
Hope this helps you !
Best regards,
Anupa

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!
Jacob
P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?

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.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
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.
Regards,
Gopi Krishna
SAP QA Lead

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 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.
Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers

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:

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.
