Posting periods in material management

hi mm gurus,
i m fico guy, i need some help form ur side. the t.c. MMPV is closing the posting periods in MM is it right, then what is OMSY? as per as my knowledge in MM we have a chance to open only 2 periods, in OMSY the periods belogs open periods? or closed Perids?
my question in OMSY the periods belongs open or closed?
can u explain please.
thanqu

The T code OMSY is for Activating Material Management against a Company code.
Maintain the Material Master company code in OMSY.
This is done when you want :
1. To create a material master record, the control record must exist for the company code for which you want to create your master record.
2. To set up a company code, enter the current period here.
3. When changing the Allow backposting or Disallow backposting indicators
You can also use MMRV to set the Allow/Disallowed backposting indicators.
The current and previous period is shown on both transaction codes.
As MMPV is only Used for Opening / Closing MM Periods.
There are a number of activities that are managed by period in the materials ledger including: certain stock totals valuations, price units, goods movements, etc.
MMPV executes program RMMMPERI to close the current period and open the new one.

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
Period Open T.code: MMP1
Period Close T-Code: MMPV
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.

Closing/Opening Material Master Posting Periods

The instance is ECC 6.0
Can we roll back the material master posting period. We had some issue that the material master was rolled over by 2-3 periods accidentally which is corrected now.
OSS note 1082841 was applied so the periods can not be rolled over going forward. Now was going to some testing, but not sure if the problem is corrected or not and wanted to know what is the way to roll back the period if it is rolled over.

Check List for closing posting period

Hi everyone,
What should be the complete check list (activity to be done) before closing the posting period in MM

Hi,
In fact when ever you complete the month you have to close the period for the previous month.This you can do at the T.code MMPV.
1)before closing the period check wheather the Back posting is allowed at SPRO-logistics general -material master-basic settings-company code settings for the financial year.
2)There will be peiod indicatotors.You have to check them.
3)unless and untill you dont close the period your inventory management settings will not allow you to furthur stating a warning message that 'posting period is in previous month'.

Regarding MM Posting Period

At MIRO i am getting below error
"Posting only possible in periods 2011/11 and 2011/10 in company code 3220"
i am follwing a Fiscal Year from April to March, Hence current period is 11.
i have checked OB52 Posting Period Varient. where in period 11 is open to all Account types.
i have also checked MMRV..detaisl of MMRV below
Current Period 11 2011
Previous Period 10 2011
Last Period in prev. year 12 2010
Please suggest how shall i overcome this Error.
Spandana
FICO Consultant

Hi,
As you said & your system giving error message that to post in 10 or 11 period in year 2011.
Also you said your Fiscal Year from April to March & now hence current period is 11.
You are very much right about present period now 11. OK. What is current year now & how 2011 is opened?
Now the current YEAR IS 2010 & period 11
Now 1st check your Posting Period Variant for your company code " 3220" in t.code: OBY6
Now check your REQUIRED PERIODS to post ( 10,11 for year 2010) is open in Account Types A, K, D,M, S and specially Account Type u201C+u201D which stands for valid for all accounts type with Posting Period Variant. If not just open it.
Now you need to reset the period (if your are practicing & testing) in OMSY t.code for setting periods for your company code " 3220" for material management.( This setting in OMSY is done once for all )
Now cross check in MMRV t.code for your company code " 3220" & You should have
Current Period 11 2010
Previous Period 10 2010
Last Period in prev. year 12 2009
Now try posting MIRO.

MM Process flow:
Process Flow
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.

Posting on 13 posting period

Hi experts,
i just closed posting period for the period 2011(jan - dec)
but my posting periods 13 to 16 is open,
still some invoices are pending
i need to enter MIRO transactions on 13 posting period, how it can manage ?
regards,
Sanju M S

Hi
Expert,
check this........
Period management:
You have 2 kinds of period management: in FI and in MM.
Accounting needs to open and close financial periods before they can post in them. They usually have one period per month and one extra per quarter, so totalling 16 periods per year. Their periods do not need to coincide with the calendar.
MM needs to open and close MM periods. These periods reflect periods for statistical reporting. They should coincide with the calendar months. In MM you can only have 3 periods open at any time: the present period/month, the previous period/month and the last period/month of the previous year. The present period should normally be the present month.
The MM period and the FI period are linked indirectly, but not dependent on each other: when you post a document in MM, the MM period is determined based on the month of the document date. When the material document posting requires a financial posting, the FI period is determined automatically in background in the FI document based on the posting date of the material document.
When the MM period is not correctly closed, you'll get messages as you have got. When the present MM period is in the past, you just need to use MMPV to close the periods one by one untill you arrive at the present calendar month. When the present MM period is in the future, you need to use trx MMPI to correct the situation (read the OSS note!).
You can identify whether it concerns an FI or an MM period by the following characteristic: when SAP talks about a period ppp/yyyy (for instance 010/2004) it is talking about FI,

Can we change the company code posting periods to previous periods?

Hello folks,
I wated to change company code posting periods to previous posting periods.Right now the posting period for company code is 04/2008, and I want to make it to 10/2007. Is it possible.
I am doing this in Dev Sand box.
Thanks
Ravi

Path: SPRO->Logistics-General->Material master->Basic Settings->Maintain Company Codes for Materials Management.
In this configuration, you can change the posting periods. As mentioned earlier in one of the replies, this change is done with utmost caution as this could result in to data inconsistencies, if left open for a longer period of time.. It is advised to change this setting when no other document postings are allowed by other users...

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,

SAP QA Lead

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.

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.
Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers

Allowed posting periods: 06 2010 / 05 2010 / 12 2009 (Message no. M8022)

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.
UNQUOTE"
Thanks in advance for your valuable comments.

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...
