Can't define previous & current posting period date in Balance sheet PLD.

Hello Experts,
I need to print previous financial year's last date & current financial year's last date on the balance sheet in a new company.
But i am unable to do so, as i was trying to link it with posting period's date in the PLD. And in the new company currently i am having only one posting period i.e. current financial year. How can i get the date from the previous posting period's date.
Please suggest me, how can i get the previous financial year's last date & current financial year's last date on the PLD of Balance Sheet.
Regards.
ShriX.

Hi,
This is one of Hard Coded PLD that no way to link to other tables. You have to create your own report if you need those dates.

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

Posting date and posting periods

HI Experts,
I am practicing IDES for SD. While using T VL02N for post good Issue I got this error:
Posting only possible in periods 2006/12 and 2006/11 in company code 1000
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. Copied from M8022
I don;t think there is problem with my posting date. Can someone guide me on how solving this
Thanks
Yael

Go to OMSY and check the periods are current peiods or not to ur comp code?
If it is not the current period.
close the posting period by going to MMPV.
let us say comp code EG, YEAR-2006 PE-6
so you have to close the posting periods for all months till this month.
from comp code-EG
To comp code- EG
period-7
fiscal year-2006
repeat the same but with period-8(month) 9,10,11,12,
and do the same for 2007 too till you get the current month in OMSY T-Code.
you need to do close the period end of every month.
thank you

How to calculate First Date of Posting Period in BEx Query

Hi,
I have 2 reporting requirements as follows:
1) User will either enter a single posting period in a fiscal year or can enter a range of posting periods.
Based on user selection I need to display three key figures in a report.
Key figure 1 and Key Figure2 should be the summarized values for each posting period.
key Figure 3 should be the value on the first date of that particular posting period (in case user selects multiple posting periods i should derive the value of the first date of each posting period).
2) Also, in another report I need to display only top 8 values for one key figure in the report.
Please let me know the method or code required to get this Functionality.
Thanks in advance.

First Report
1. Create Restricted KeyFigure 1 & 2 for the summarized values.
2. Create a Customer Exit Variable for getting the first date of the posting period, this should be of type Interval. Write code using FM FIRST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to get. Read the selection variable to see the range of posting period and you have to insert that many first dates into this variable.
3. Create a new Restricted KeyFigure 3 and use the Customer Exit variable created in Step 2
Second Report
Use the Top N functionality of BEx and create a workbook. You can set the option Refresh query when the workbook is open so that the data is current when opened.
Hope this helps.

Error in document date & posting date-- Posting period 001 2008 is not open

hi guru's
while doing vendor creation in XK01, i m not getting the data screens like address, ..etc.i m getting error..posting period not open". what does it mean..
What date i need to give in both fields...?
can anybody send a set of data for me to create a vendor to test for my bdc/lsmw?
can any help me step by step vendor creation in xk01,
I am getting this below....
Posting period 001 2008 is not open
Message no. F5201
Diagnosis
Period 001 of fiscal year 2008 is not open for posting for the variant of posting period 1000.
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 1000 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 1000 and account type + is contained.
Proceed
thanks

Hi
Kris is right, that message means you can't post a FI document in the period 1 (probably Gennuary) of the 2008, but this can't mean you can't create a new vendor.
So are you sure on trx?
If the trx is right perhaps somebody has inserted a control in a user-exit.

Due Date in new posting period

Hi All,
Posting date range in new financial period (new posting period) is one in which my JEs should posted and they will be having impact in financial system. Which is logical.
What is the need of Due Date? Is it useful in any practical situation?
B Ravi Shankar

Ravi,
You do not have to specifically define a range? When you create a posting period SAP automatically create the range from first day of Fiscal year to last day of Fiscal year.
Let me explain with an example.
Let us consider 01/01/2007 to 31/12/2007 as the fiscal year
For some of the document that you create during the last few months, you may require to enter a Due date later than the Fiscal year (going into next fiscal year)
example: Invoice created on 15/12/2007 with Net 30 terms will need a Due date of 14/01/2008 but since you Due date range ends on 12/31/2007 you will not be able to Add this document.
To overcome this you will have to click on the yellow arrow next to the Period and change the Due Date to to accomodate the 14/01/2008 due date.
Hope it helped

PRRW: Incorrect posting period (fixed posting date)

Hi,
¿Can anyone help me? I have problems when using transaction PRRW in order to transfer travel expenses to accounting. The issue is that for one company code the posting date is not of the same posting period as the travel. If I try to transfer all the travel expenses created in september, PRRW tries to use july posting period. Does anybody know how can I customize this? I don't know why it is always trying to post in july.
Thanks and Regards,
Ariana

In t.code PRFI under general trip data you define the posting date.
Hope this helps

Data column (for posting period) converted to COMPARISON COLUMN

Hi all,
I use 'posting period'(derived from fiscal period/year) in the data column and assigned CHAR-posting period to a variable (the value is 1.2.3....12) in the planning level.
When I execute my layout, I got an error message: Data column 2 will be converted into a comparison column.
Diagnosis:
You have entered variable ZFIU004 in data column 2 and provided it with an offset. This results in values arising for variable ZFIU004, which are no longer within the selection, which was defined for the variable.
Can someone please advise me?

Hi,
What is the selection maintained for posting period on the level.

REOPEN THE PERIODS:
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.
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.

Posting period is showing in future date

Hi,
This is issue am facing in my IDES system.
The error it is showing is as below:
Posting only possible in periods 2015/03 and 2015/02 in company code z001 and message number M7053
other inputs: MMRV : Current peiod   : 03 2015
                                       Previous period: 03 2015
                                   Last period in previous .year 12 2014
And one more input about this is, in my system the system timing was showing 2011, this i did not recogbise, and when i tried to do the post goods issue(PGI) system shown some Posting error then i cloed the periods through MMPV t code, and closed upto 02 2015, then i reliazed why still system is allowoing to close the periods. then i checked the sytem timing and corrected it to current date.(13 th July 2014).
In OB29 my Fiscal year variant is K4 (number of posting periods 12 and no of Special periods 4) is assigned to my company code z001 in t code ob37
In OMSY "also showing the 2015 3
Now even after changing the sytem date to correct date still system is showing the periods problem, when i tried to initialize the periods in t code MMPI sytem is showing the below message "Follow the instruction note 487381 before initialiazation"
I found many treads similar to this issue, but all of them faced past date, needs to be closed the periods until current date, where as in my case the periods alredy open in future date.
am not much familiar with this periods problem as am SD consultant.
Please help to resolve this issue.
thanks,

Nobody needs help of an ABAPer to close or open periods, this is just normal customizing.
Goto service.sap.com/notes and read the content of the OSS note mentioned in your message and just follow it, as it is the only way to run period initialization. It does not matter it you rolled it to far into the future or if you still have stone old periods like in the hundreds of other discussions on the same issue.
And since this is that often discussed I am locking this thread.
