Posting periods and account segmentation

the company has several suboffice/division, but they want all under one company in B1. also they receive some of they invoices 2 months lates. Data migration will go back 2 years. So what is best way to set up posting period and account segmentation.

Hello,
Take a look at this thread and copied to your notepad :
Division in SAP Business One
about how to create suboffice/division.
The posting period can be created go back more than 1 years from now as long when performing data migration, do not forget to set the current period that match with your data dates. The invoices and other opening balances can be migrated using DTW templates.
So, I suggest you could create posting period more than 2 years ago in the last time and create 2 segmented accounts consists of sub office and division beside natural account. E.g. :
12111-01-02 : 12111 is natural account, 01 is suboffice code and 02 is division.

  • Linking a Period Indicator to a Posting Period and Document Numbering

    Dear All,
    Could you please tell me that, what will be the consequences if I do not link a Period Indicator to a Posting Period and use the Period Indicator in any document numbering?

    Hi,
    The use of the period indicators depends on the accounting practice of the company.
    The consequence you will face when you are not using period indicators:
    1.Your document numbering series will be continued from year to year,for ex.if your last document numbering series for AP Invoice is 3489 for FY200809,then the starting series for the FY200910 will be 3490.
    2.You should perform period end closure before proceeding to the next financial year,which would not be possible(Atleast one month in the new financial yr) as we may need to use adjustment transaction for accounting/auditing purpose
    3.Unless you perform year end closure the new series can not be continued,if you continue there must be accepted/explained in the accounts auditing too .
    4.But you don't use period indicator,there will not be any necessity to create new document series for every new financial year.
    Also check this document on [Period indicators|https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000513532005E] for better understanding.

  • 0 fiscper3 (posting period)and 0fiscyear (fiscal year) in bw report

    Hi I need a quick help, please resolve my issue in step by step. Report is required to display the 0 fiscper3 (posting period)and 0fiscyear (fiscal year) in bw report. I have a 0fiscper Fiscal Yr / Period in my datasource and infosource but not 0fiscper3 (posting period)and 0fiscyear (fiscal year). Can any body help me how to add the abap code to convert the 0fiscper Fiscal Yr / Period to display 0fiscper3 (posting period)and 0fiscyear (fiscal year in report or how to add by abap code 0fiscper3 (posting period)and 0fiscyear (fiscal year)in datasource. User will select the value of 0FISCYEAR
    Fiscal year during the execution of report. please help
    will reward all points.
    thanks
    soniya kapoor

    In de update rules from infosource to datatarget you fill the rules like this:
    For 0FISCYEAR:
      result = comm_structure-fiscper(4).
    For 0FISPER3
      result = comm_structure-fiscper+4(3).
    Note that this can also be done by using formula's. If you can't ABAP you may prefer to use formula's.

    Hi Soniya,
    Y don't you enhance ur datasource with these fields?
    Anyways the workaround could be add 0FISCPER3 and 0FISCYEAR in ur data target, and write ABAP code for it in transformation.
    Map 0FISCPER with both the fields, and now click rule type of both the fields independently.  Select rule type as routine.
    0FISCPER stores data in format YYYYPPP, so you have to write code accordingly.
    Likie in 0FISCPER3 assign last 3 digits of 0FISCPER to 0FISCPER3 and first 4 to 0FISCYEAR.
    Suppose u have pne temp variable with name fis_yp which stores value of 0FISCYEAR. For getting period from it you have to write:
    period = fis_yp+4(3), ( 3 characters from 4 place)
    and similarly for year,
    year = fis_yp+0(4),  ( 4 charaters from 0 place)
    I hope now u can write code for it easily?

  • Derivation Rules in Posting Control and Account Deternination

    Dear Friends,
    Can any one please explain me the derivation rules. I started the chapter with the Posting Control and Account Determination in that:
    Posting Control define:
    Company Code
    Acrl Type
    Accounting Principle
    Account determination:
    Target account
    Source account
    document type
    but if you see in the configuration in Derivation Rules:
    It gives a different configuration like
    Posting Control
    Acct Princpl.
    Accrl Type
    COA
    Process in accrul Engine
    Own Parameter
    Acct Determination
    Doc. Type
    Start Account
    Target Account
    Own Parameter
    in this I am really get confused what is derivation rule in the accrul engine.
    Can anyone please summarize for the same.
    Thanks in advance
    Mahendra Dev

    Hi
    Derivation Rule - is nothing but the deriving the values based on some criteria mentioned in the configuration.
    Derivation rules you can see in the PCA (Profit Center Accounting) , CO-PA (Profitability Analysis).
    This contains the different steps based on the requirement.

  • Cost Centre and Account Segmentation

    Dear Experts,
    Our client's requirement is to take profitability branch wise, department wise. 
    Can we use Cost Center or we can enable account segmentation.  Which is the best way. 
    As per SAP notes, it is stated that account segmentation is used for branch wise, region wise, department wise arriving balance sheet, profitability.
    Which will be the appropriate way.  What is the advantage and disadvantages if we cost center or account segmentation.
    Thank You,
    Sundaram R

    Hi Senthil, this is what I have experienced.
    Segmentation may be mandatory in USA, for other countries they are optional.
    For some who are playing the role of accountant in the company, they find it hard to comprehend the segmentation rule. In which case it is best to convert their current single segment profit center oriented chart of account to map into SAP B1.
    Segmentation may be too complicated for smaller companies and one or two ware houses, mainly because to best use the segmentation, the accounts in G/L determination and warehouse determination and item determination need to be configured properly for segmented chart of account.  At times the customer will have to choose a segment for manual JE, and it is not that simple if they are not used to the idea of segments.
    There will be situations when certain segments do not make sense and yet you need to have them as zeros or something common while implementing it. You may end up creating too many segments or too few at the beginning. If too many it is not a good sight with useless accounts, if too few, they creating new accounts needs planning.
    I would leave the option to customer and as consultant it also depends upon your own experience.
    Hope that helps.

    MM periods follow as
    First go to OMSY and check the current period for your Comp code..
    Then go to MMPV trx..
    and Enter Comp code, period & year..
    Here you need to enter the period you wants to open..
    Ex: The Current period in OMSY is 10,2007
    Then you need to enter period 11 & year 2007 in MMPV.
    So, that period 10 will be closed & Period 11 will be opened automatically..
    Like that you need to close the periods one by one till the period you want to post.
    You can not reopen the closed MM period.
    Pls becareful while doing in PRD client
    and in OB52 maintain Like this

  • 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:

  • 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
    regards

  • OB52 - open and close posting period

    Hi
    I want to know that what is the meaning of + while populating the posting period variant with data for posting periods and also what will be the effect if we donot put the same. Instead that we only put the entry for A D K M S.

    Hi Srikanth
    Thanks for the quick response.
    But does your answer mean that if we put only + and no other entries for A D K M S then all a/cs will have the same posting periods open for them.
    Also how to keep two different posting periods open for open for two different assets (A).
