Posting period

HI
What unit test we have to do in " open and close posting periods"
Thanks,
Nivi

Hi,
The Unit test is where we check the configuration is in line with the requirement documents / customer expectations.
So, in the case of posting period, check the existence of entries in ob52 and are as per requirement document.
The integration test is where we can check the configuration indirectly.  for example you can a post a document and check the result.

  • 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!

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

    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

    Transaction SM30, Tick Skip initial screen
    Name of screen field       Value
    VIEWNAME                     ZV_T001B_000X
    UPDATE                           X

    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.
