Re-open the Previous posting period

hi...
we have closed the posting period for the month of 01-02(april-may) and open the 03-04(june-july)...
but now we want to open the previous posting period i.e. 01-02(april-may) again...so how could we do this..
one solution i have got is that...
1. go to OX18 delete all the assignment for that company code and plant.
2. go to OMSY and change the posting period..
3. go to OX18 and reassign the plant and company code again...
this is the right method to do that..?
will there be any -ive implications if I open the previous period by this procedure..?
or suggest me some other way to do that...
Thanks in advance

Hi
You can open Closed MM periods but be careful because SAP does recommend opening closed MM periods.
Steps are :
1) Tcode MMPI --from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field.
Try to remove assignment of plants from company code.
Now Go to -
T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.
Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct preriod is open thru T-Code - MMRV
Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.
Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (or any other Material Type used by your company)
Then click on the quantity and value update.
Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update
Even check this link...Reopening the posting period that was closed
This will definitely reslove your problem.
Thanking you.

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.

Close previous posting periods

hii pl tell the procedure to close the previous open& closing periods and to open the new posting period.
sineours:
will i am making the posting for g/l in f-02 it is showing the posting period for 05/02/2002 not the current fical year period
what is the procedure to change this to current posting period

Hi Shashi
Please check what is the entry you are trying to make. The posting date that you have provided in F-02 should be 05/02/2002 as the error message is saying that the current fiscal is different. So please provide more information on what is the entry you are trying to post.
You could however run some preliminary checks with tcode OB52. Check the variant assigned to the company code with the path Financial Accounting->Financial Accounting Global Settings->Document->Posting Periods->Posting Periods. Then in OB52 check what are the periods open for that variant.

Hi
Basically it is possible to reopen a previously closed period. However,
it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous
period could get affected. So first you need to pay more attention is
that not to repeat such error operation in your system especially in PRD system.
Please refer to note:
545952 FAQ: Period closing program
To find out what you should do when you meet this problem.
If you decide to proceed with this process, please review the
documentation of program RMMMINIT (to see this documentation, please
do the following: run transaction SE38, enter program RMMMINIT, select
the 'documentation' radio button and click 'display').
487381 - RMMMINIT: Protection against unintentionial execution
Here with the report you may find any data may get inconsistency goods
movement after you reopen the period and you need to clear them.

Open previous Posting Periods

Hi Experts,
When trying to post a good receipts I get the current error:
Posting periods only possible in 12/2011 and 11/2011. I want to post in 12/2209
How do I set the system to post in 12/2009?

Hi
Allowing Posting to the Previous Period
Prerequisites
Posting to the previous period (backposting) is allowed only if the corresponding indicator is set
in the control record. This indicator is set automatically during initialization and after each change
of period. However, it can sometimes be necessary to set it manually.
For One Company Code
1. In the Material Master [Ext.] menu, choose Other Allow posting to previous period.
The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the company code and choose Enter.
3. Set the Allow posting to previous per. indicator.
4. Save your data.
But in your case the current year is 2011 but you wanna to post to 2009.You can allow by allow posting to previous period ( i.e. one period only).
The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of the previous period in this case.
You need to take help of SAP while doing initialization by MMPI and also prog. RMMMINIT but system gives error Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization.

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.

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 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:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/96/8b300943ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

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

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 - 0B52 (FICO)

Dear Friend,
It will be much appreciated if you can help me with the below question.
What are the years to be mentioned in the year columns (_Underlined below_) in the Open and Close Posting Period (0B52) for the Fiscal Year 2011- 2012.
i.e., From Period 1 (1), Year (____), To Period (12), Year (____), From Period 2 (13), Year (_____), To Period (16), Year (____).
What is the significance of these years.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran RD.
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi:
The column on the right From to TO is for special period opening and closing and columns on the left are for normal period opening and closing. If your fiscal year starts from January then for keeping open October period only and closing other , you will have to maintain all 10 in from and to along with year 2011 against account type A,S,K,D,M... I hope it will help you.

HI All,
Is there any chance to control the user to open and close another company code posting period variant in TCODE: S_ALR_87003642.
In our system we are using the same client for different countries. So user can able to change the other country company code posting periods.
We would like to control either on the country (or) organizational unit(company code) (or) posting period variant so that user can only open/close their country / company code posting periods.
Our present authorization role for open and close posting period contain the auth.Obj. : S_TABU_DIS.
Please share your knowledge if you come across this problem..
Thanks in advance..

Hey Sandhya,
Congratz, this can be done using linbe item authorization with the object S_TABU_LIN.
Field ORG_CRIT - Value 02
Field ORG_FIeld1 - Value ZT001B
We have successfully done it in our client.
You need to contact your BASIS consultant for this.
Thanks,
