Posting Period MMPV

Hello All,
I am trying to post stock to a Material in the MB1C transction.
But I keep getting this message "Posting only possible in periods 2009/06 and 2009/05 in company code SPIL".
I have opened the period in MMPV. Can some one tell me where do we assign the calender to the company code.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sneha.

Dear Sneha
As Mr.Murali pointed out this has to be done in OB52 and MMPV and to see what is the current period you need to see MMRV
Menu path to t code OB52
img-financial accounting new-financial accounting global settings (new)--ledgers-fiscal year and posting periods-posting periods-open and close posting periods(OB52)
First of all you must see what the posting period varient maintained for your company code
This you can see in OBY6 (in processing parameters tab you can see that) and what the fiscal year varient maintained in your company code in t code OBY6
In that take your posting period varient say if it is 1000
Then in OB52 you have to maintain like this
1000--S-blank---zzzzzzzzzz--01-2009-12-2009---13-201016---2010
like this you have to maintain for A,+,D,K,M,V(account types) the second colunmn and do this and save
This is check one
You have to close all the previous periods thro MMPV transaction
For this you first need to see what is the current period in in MMRV
Go to MMRV first and input your company code ans see what is the current period maintained there
As today is feb 11 th 2009 the previous period should look like 01/2009(normal settings) in MMRV  and the current period should be 02/2009
That means the period is closed till jan 09
If in MMRV the previous period is say 07/2008 then it means you have to close periods from july 08 to jan 09
for this go to MMPV and input company code code and the date as 01.08.2008 then a log will come that means july is closed and august is open like that 01.09.2008, 01.10.2008, 01.11.2008, 01.12.2008, 01.01.2009 and 01.02.2009 that till feb 09 every month it has to be done
When you input 01.02.2009 in MMPV and execute that means the period jan 09 is closed  and (a log will come) and feb 09 is open which you can see in MMRV as the current period as 02/2009 and previous period as 01/2009
Better to take MM help if you are new to this
This is check 2

  • Posting Period - Opening

    Hi CB,
    Thanks for the information.
    In our company,we maintain Fiscal year from November to October.
    Nov = first month.
    *Can you let me know what should i do now to open the period 2009/09*
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Go to MMRV and check the current period. Next go to MMPV close current period by period.
    MMRV-display current and previous posting periods
    MMPV- open new mm period
    Here period means month in general terminology
    You can open only one period at a time.
    If Financial year is from January to December then, period 01 = January and period 12=December in MM periods.
    If Financial year is from April to March then, period 01 = April (this year) and period 12= March (next year) in MM periods.
    In your case financial year november to october then Period 01=November(this year) and period 12 = October(next year)
    Now goto MMPV and close current period. system automatically Opens the next period the posting period accordingly.

    Reopen The Closed Period
    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.
    SHD0: http://www.mortenhjorthnielsen.dk/Security/transactionvariants.htm
    If oyu have knowledge of Transaction variant then you can use SHD0 tcode and generate the transaction using defualt type and give that transction to user instead of ME21N so they will not have the issue.
    The exact solution for your problem is as follows
    Go to Tcode SHD0 and enter the transaction variant
    In T code field enter MIRO and then enter the ZMIRO or the name you want to keep in transaction variant field and hit create button
    This will take you to MIRO transaction and here you just post the invoice but make sure you enter the House bank key whic you want to default.
    Once you finish system will save this one as a variant
    Every time you hit or enter the pop up screen comes here you just hit enter and which ever data you want to default that you have to select in the Popup by checking the Box
    W content and output only for your case the field XXXXXXXX should be selected for W content and output only
    Make sure you have value 1 in contents field
    If not then restart the variant again and on the MIRO screen reselect the invoice field
    Later exit and save (save in the object which you can transport)
    Then from SHD0 transaction select GOTO create variant transaction and here you careate the tcode and use that tcode for MIRO

  • 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,

  • How to open and close posting period for both material  , n invoicing

    HI
    how to open and close posting period for both material  , n invoicing , AM NEW TO SD , SO ALL DOUBTS I DO POST IN HERE PLEASE DONT MIND

    Hi Sunaina

    Automate the opening of MM periods 
    How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods (transaction MMPV - program RMMMPERI) with 
    SM36?
    RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
    If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
    1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
    2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
    If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
    If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working 
    day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
    Another possibility:
    Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

  • Posting period 005 2020 is not open when perfomr /dbm/cashdesk cancellation

    Hi Expert,
    Currently our SAP DBM on patch7 & SP04 (latest), now i would like to cancel cash document in /dbm/cashdesk and system come out with error as below:
    Posting period 005 2020 is not open
    Message no. F5201
    Diagnosis
    Period 005 of fiscal year 2020 is not open for posting for the variant of posting period 5000.
    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 5000 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 5000 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.
    I able to post cashdesk document in customer incoming payment tab and i cannot cancel due to posting period 05 & year 2020 not open.
    Currently we are in 05 2011 not 2020, is any expert can advice where to set cashdesk fiscal year configure?
    I need to open FI period until 05 2020, then my cash document cancellation is successful.

    so, that period 01 will be closed & Period 02 will be opened automatically...
    You need to close periods one by one like this..
    until the period you want use...

    Dear Experts,
    I took a old shipment & do a new shipment cost but when I went to go for MIRO posting below error message showing. Fyki, every month we run S_ALR_87003642, MMPV & MMRV properly then why below message showing prior MIRO posting. Is there anything else what we are missing? or How can I resolve this issue?
    "QUOTE
    Allowed posting periods: 06 2010 / 05 2010 / 12 2009
    Message no. M8022
    Diagnosis
    The posting date is not within one of the allowed posting periods.
    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 specified periods is the current period. At the beginning of a new period, your system administrator must change the current period in the material master record using the function "Close period". This has not yet been done.
    You have entered the wrong date in the field "Posting date".
    Procedure
    Check the posting date and correct it if necessary. If your entry is correct, inform your system administrator that the "period closing" procedure has not yet been implemented.

    Hello ,
    MIRO doc can be posted on a particular posting date if:
    1. MM Period is open for the posting date .
    2.FI period is open for the posting date .
    No matter what date the preceding documents had been created on ( PO /MIGO/ML81N ) the posting date in MIRO doc shud fall withing the open MM & FI periods.
    check the Fiscal year variant in OBY6 trxn, Basing on that the MM periods will be maintained in OBYC trxn..
    the below are some of the Fiscal year periods normally we use
    K4--- Is for Calender year( Jan to Dec), that means jan is 01, & Feb 02 etc..
    V3--- Is April to march, that means Peroid 01 should be April & 02 is May etc..
    V9----Is Oct.- Sept., here period 01 should be Oct & Period 02 should be Nov etc...

    The posting date entered is not within one of the permitted posting periods (current period/previous period).

    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

    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...

    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

    Hello,
    The requirement is unclear.
    You can close FI periods in OB52
    Co periods in OKP1
    MM period in MMPV
    Please let me know if you have any further questions.
