Re-opening a closed financial period

Hi,
Silly question, How do I re-open a previously closed financial period?  We've closed a number of months in our financial year which I now need to re-open.
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
you need to get into the posting period window & then reactivate the periods in question.
In 2007, go to Administration ->  System Initialisation -> Posting periods
Click on the orange link arrow of the period to be reopened & then change the period status to the appropriate one.
Lower than version 2007, the posting periods are here:
Administration ->  System Initialisation -> General Settings -> Posting Period tab.
Please check the on-line help for info about the period statuses.
Also, you need to keep in mind that if you add any postings to any of these periods, all reporting must be re-run.
All the best,
Kerstin

    HI,
    Tcode is ob52
    here we generally provide the following details
    a/c type from a/c to a/c from period year to period year from period year to period
    +                                    1            2007   12         2007      13       2007   16

    generally we can have maximum 4 special periods and total no of periods(normal+special) should not exceed 16

  • 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

    Hello
    Open and close periods is specific to A+ / Asset / Customers / Vendors / Material / General ledger accounts only.
    Non-leading ledgers can have different fiscal year variants and different posting period variants per company code to the leading ledger of this company code

  • Cancel 101 movement with Inspection lot of closed financial period

    Hi experts,
    we are having the following problem.
    We have a 101 movement with creation of Inspection lot, which was done in a finance period which is already closed.
    Now I have to cancel this movement, but I get the error M7021 with VOR, which means that I am not allowed to cancel it, because of the period is already closed.
    But we also can not open the period.
    Which possibilities do I have?
    Maybe MI10 movement?
    Kind regards

    Hello Jürgen,
    thank you for your help.
    I am confused now.
    Becasue normally I am logged on in german and now I did check the english one.
    Deficit of BA St. in QI prev. 127 M2 : "material number" 0001 "sloc" "batch"
    But here I get QI prev, but in the F1 help there is no QI or prev.
    In german I get VOR and there in the F1 help it is written, that VOR is previous period (so I think equal to PR in english).
    Now I am a bit confused.
    But anyway, the thing is that we have to empty the stock.
    Kind regards for every help, I think there is no possibility to cancel that booking as the period is closed.
    @ Biju K, to be honest your way would really be the only correct way, but at the current situation it is a bit special.
    I will do a MI10 booking.

  • Issue with release of Invoice in closed financial period

    Hi All,
    A billing document was created in Nov-2006 & because of wrong data maintained in the billing document , it was not released for accounting. This wrong data was corrected in billing document in Jan-2008 & it was subsequently released from block stage using VFX3.
    But system has released this document in Nov,2006. As the books of 2006 are closed, i would like to reverse this release & then release the invoice for Mar-2008, to ensure the books of 2006 are not impacted.
    If there is any other way to resolve this, please let me know.
    Edited by: Vivek on Mar 13, 2008 9:29 PM

    Hi,
    Thanks for the inputs, if i post a cancel invoice, i would like to know what will be the impact in terms of FI as the invoice is actually of 2006, so what all impacts would i need to be aware of?

  • 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

  • Should OKP1 being all closed and only be opened for the current period ?

    Guyz,
    In OB52 (Financial closing period) , only "open period" being input on it. So, basically the closing period in OB52 is by opening the period provided to be posting.
    Then how about OKP1?
    It's provided to lock the actual period , actual transactions, or to lock the plan period or plan transactions..but the question is:
    a. Should it be all closed (ticked mark all transactions & all periods) except for the current period that is provided to be posting as period determined in OB52...For example, it is now June, then all periods & transactions other than June is being ticked mark.
    OR
    b. Should it be all opened except for the period that is being closed? For example, it is now June, so periods & transactions of period January to May are being ticked mark (closed).
    Which of the options is the best practice?
    Need your answers asap plz.... Thanking you ..

    Hello,
    For example in OB52, if you have opened for June, i.e.,
    06 of 2009 to 06 of 2009 (1st Period)
    In such case,
    In OKP1, you need to only untick June for all the months and close all remaining months (Untick June and tick all other months and transactions).
    Note that your planning activities for all the year must have been completed. Otherwise, you cannot enter the plan values.

  • Query regarding Opened/Closed GL periods

    Hello Gurus,
    ive got an issue, when using 0FIGL_C01 Cube.
    The query ive created balances on cumulative balance (as key figure) and GL account names (as hierarchy).
    Now i want to show the data of cumulative balance regarding closed periods.
    I.e. if we have current April month the balance should be 0, but all other in the past January, February, March should be displayed.
    How it is possible to do this?
    Ive tryed to create a calculated key figure, whith code something like:
    IF debit and credit == 0 then Cummulative balance=0 else Cumulative balance.
    It works fine but it shows also the postings of current period, which isnt realy closed.
    Tried to search the indicators of FI open/closed periods, but the only thing i found is S_ALR_87003642 - Open and Close Posting Periods transaction showing Company code, GL account ranges and from to period data.
    What could be the sollution for this? Should i create new DS for the mensioned TC and then to create a multicube or perhaps is a better and faster way in doing it?
    Thanks a lot in advice

    I'm not sure what you mean here: "let the database contorl the iteration of this huge dataset - with cursors".
    Generally speaking you have 2 options when it comes to parallel processing:
    Parallelize processes in the ABAP stack. These processes access different, non-overlaping, parts of your restult set
    in parallel. Using the BELNR could be an approach to build different, non-overlapping paackages.
    Database side parallelization. This is possible for every action that uses multiblock I/O (full table scans and index fast full scans) and for partitioned segments. For non-partitioned segments and single block I/O database side parallelization is not possible.
    So, generally speaking, you have 3 options:
    1.) parallelize in ABAP and build idependent packages
    2.) force the DB to do multiblock I/O (full table scan, index fast full scan) in parallel
    3.) partition your table and indexes.
    I think (it's just my opinion) for an ERP (not BW / BI) system
    - option 3 is not a good option for OLTP systems (several reasons). I see it very, very, very rarely or close to never in OLTP systems
    - option 2 may read (much) more data then you would need to read, although a very efficient I/O method would be used (multibock I/O)
    - option 1 requires programming in ABAP but will read exactly the data you need to read and can be controlled very well in the ABAP stack (parallel single block I/O will be used)
    In alamost all cases (that are similar to your case) i have see option 1 was used.
    Kind regards,

  • Closing and opening in new fiscal period

    Hi
    I am going to close last fiscal period and open new period . What should I do step by step for closing inventory and BP and Accounting and Open them in new Period. does system has any facility to do these step automatically.
    Thanks in advance

    PEC is a tool to use for you to close any periods.  What it does is mainly creating certain retained earning entries.  There is no way to do anything automatically for you.  You may need to define new fiscal periods first before you do Period-End Close.
    Thanks,
