       Days                    Period
Jan 01 - Jan 25     1
Jan 26 - Feb 25     2

I have configured the system as said above with out selecting Calander year and Non Calander year check box, I have posted few entries and tested. Now I am looking few inputs from sap experts:
1. Is the correct way what I did or am missing any thing here?
2. Is that 12 periods are sufficient or want create more periods.
3. Any other future implications.
Thanks

Hi,
You can define additional period based on your requirement basically we say 3 as special period.
In Fiscal period variant select year dependent and state number of posting period as 12 and special period as u like it
further in period define the structure u stated below and proceed in normal way. t.code for above is ob29. Posting period will operate in normal way.
other than this take care of controlling period we normally keep all period open unless there is excessive use of PS module.
Requirement of yours is more or less similar to 445 requirements.

Open and Close Posting Periods According to G/L Account Assignment Objects

Hi,
Can anybody please explain me how configurations related to " Open and Close Posting Periods According to G/L Account Assignment Objects " works in SAP FICO? I am confused about this config.

Mandeep

Hi Mandeep ,
First i would like to tell about fiscal year
fiscal year is nothing but a financial year of company in sap . it contain 12 normal periods and 4 special periods.In genaral we will call like month but that is sap that is a period. so 12 period for 12 months ok next special period will use in all companies for audit and tax adjustment purpose of previous year.
coming to the open and close periods.in sap for security purpose we have to open one period like this month july so i opened july period only we cant post the pervious month (june)and we cant post future month lik in (Auguest)ok
You can close and open periods by transaction ob52.
In transaction ob52 there are account types
+ Valid for all account types
A Assets
D Customers
K Vendors
M Materials
S G/L accounts
V Contract accounts
+ means all types. if you want to open vendor then enter period from and to according to your fiscal year.
you cant adjust items in closed period. if you want to then you have to open the period
For your information.....
posting periods also open user level tc S_ALR_87003642.
customization levael OB52.

Allowed OB52 based on company code
If you have several company codes and want your users only to be able to open and close periods
(transaction OB52) belonging to their posting period variant (=company code).
First you configure the Posting Variant :-
1) FI- FI Global Settings - Document - Posting Periods - Define Variants for Posting Periods
2) FI- FI Global Settings - Document - Posting Periods - Assign Variants to Company Code
Second Step:-
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, test your new transaction code ZOB52_000X which will only display the
Posting Variant that you have define in your table view.

purna

          The variant for posting periods is defined for every company code. The name of this variant is identical to the company code name. Every company code is allocated to this variant with the same name.

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.
Thanks

Hi,
First check the Current period in OMSY trx...for your Comp code..
Then go to MMPV and enter Comp code, Period & Year
and execute...
Ex: if the current period in OMSY for your Comp code is 01,2008
then you need to enter period 02, 2008 in MMPV trx...
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...
Remember you can not Roll back the closed period
Be careful in closing the MM period in PRD client.
Thx

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.

Re open the closed Posting Periods - Very Urgent

Dear Experts,
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...
Nagesh Aswartha

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
Ramki

Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a "per day" basis?

Hi SAP gurus,
Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a per day basis?
It is not possible in OB52 since it only has control per period and not per day.
Will assign points for suggestions. =) Thanks!

Hii
In standard SAP there is not such functionality where u can do these kind of configuration...it is at least for a month that is through OB52.
If u still wants this functionality it is through the validation.
u need to create the validation for that company code and thn u can use this functionality....
hope it helps u
reward points if helpful

Error in Opening Posting Period in MM

Dear Gurus,
I am facign an error when i am opening a posting period in MM. In MMPV, when i open the Period and execute system displays the following error message:
Client 300
Period Entered : 112009
Log
ABEND
MMPV_Date_Check Error Occured (See note 1082841)
Transaction MMPV (period closing program) cannot be executed . For more infomation see note 1082841.
Kindly provide me with the solution .
thanks in advance....

Below is straight from the OSS note. You need to set the parameter id MMPV_READ_NOTE to current date for yourself or change the number of days in CKMLMVADMIN-KDATA to 999 (for example) and then you will be able to do. Probably better to set the parameter id for yourself and suitable colleagues only:
This note provides a feature to prevent using MMPV to shift into a future period. This feature is activated automatically after implementing this note and works with our without Material Ledger active. MMPV can continue only if the new period is within 10 days (by default but is configurable) away from the current date in the system. Otherwise, it will terminate and no change will be made.
To disable this feature, you must set parameter ID MMPV_READ_NOTE with the current date in the user parameters in form YYYYMMDD (Y = year, M = month, D = day).
To change the number of days to a value other than the default (10 days), set the following entry in table CKMLMVADMIN:
KKEY : MMPV_NUMBER_DAYS_ALLOWED
KDATA : <number of days MMPV is allowed>
Only integers are allowed, with 0 meaning MMPV is allowed only on or after the first day of a new period. If the value is greater than the actual number of days in a period then it means MMPV is allowed for the entire month. Any invalid entry in the KDATA field will be ignored and the default value will be used.

Nick

Posting Period coming into the rows at the query runtime & couldn't drop it

Hi All,
We have a query on an InfoCube that we have copied to the Multiprovider containing two cubes, exact copies of the original cubes.
Two cubes are one for the previous years and one for the current year.
Now, the query is copied from original cube to the MultiCube.
The query looks exactly the same in the Query Designer. But when run in Analyzer or on Web, Posting Period is coming into the rows automatically and in Analyzer, when I double click on the Posting Period to take it away from the report, it doesn't go away. Similarly in web, I do not have a option 'Remove Drilldown from rows', against posting period. I have identified posting period in both the cubes in the MultiCube configuration.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you have.
Best Regards,
- Shashi

hmm, we have now something interesting....
but this means that you have two structures defined in your query right?
Is your query cell based? It looks to me that this is the case; you have elements using created using the posting period thus it can be moved to the free chars and must be included in the drilldown.
Remove the posting period again and perform a check before saving the query; this may give the element defined with your posting period.
hope this helps...

Network confirmation cancell. thru CN29,when past posting period isnot open

Hi Gurus,
I have one query regarding netowrk confirmation. In our scnario, we are confirming network activity/element directly through CN27. Now after confirmation, due to some mistake we are trying to cancel that confimration through CN29 but system gives me error that "posting period is not open". As my network confirmation was done in the month of March'10 and i am trying to cancel it in April'10 that's why system is not allowing me to canel the confimration.
Now my query is that how to cancel the network confimmation without opening past posting period. I looked into the configuration for network confirmations but there is no setting available to allow cacellation of network confirmation done in posting period which is not open now.
however in CAT5, we have a option where we can enter cancellation posting date, and system allows to cancel time postring for that period also which is closed now (by putting cancellation posting date belonging to current posting period wihhc is open).
regards
Alok Mittal

I have not verified the same on system, but It's quite good observation. I think it's standard behavior in system and could be possible, in CN29 you are not having option to put posting date, so, system is taking date of posting date on which it got posted for reversal. i.e. March 10, but period is closed for that date. so, system is giving you error that period is closed.
Now coming to CAT5 if you give posting date of March 10, and try to reverse this document system will give you same error of period close. but if you give posting date of period April 10 system will allow to post. Because current period is open. Reversal program works in SAP based on some logic for different documents.
If you wanted to check why system is behaving in that way in that case, compare both documents ( original posted and reversal document posted in CAT5, check after posting reversal document is there any change done by system to original documents , I understand mostly system put reversal tick mark or so, in original document and give reference document in new documents )
Please check and revert back.
With Regards

ASKBN error: Posting period Jan is not open

Hi,
We are getting the following error : Posting period Jan 2009 is not open when we do ASKBN.
Can it be resolved without opening period Jan 2009? if we dont resolve it we cannot do AJAB.
But if we open Jan and do ASKBN what could be the financial impact?
Please advise.
Regards,
DP

Hi DP,
I think you have to open the period to post ASKB (or ASKBN)
The financial impact is that it will post from the cost depreciation areas to the general ledger, depending on how the account determination is configured in your system.
Thanks,
Tammy

DP - Seasonality groups posting period conversion error

Hi,
I have recently configured Seasonality Groups which was released in APO SCM7 EHP2 with the Demand Planning Worklist. We are using posting periods (fiscal periods) in all planning books and background jobs,
The following notes have been implemented in our system: 1871842-1879577-1900933-1855921, and our latest APO support pack is SAPKY70204.
The following steps were successfully processed:
- Specify planning level
- Maintain settings for seasonality
- Create seasonality groups
However, the assignment of planning objects to seasonality groups generate an error when using period indicator P. It was successful with period indicator M. Here is a sample message from the short dump generated.

As per SAP, periodicity P is not supported.

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?
