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.

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 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

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
I hope it will help.

Open and close Posting Periods. Different societies.

Hi all.
We have 2 societies 0001 and 0002.
In transaction S_ALR_87003642 or OB52 I want that user of society 0001 only can see posting periods of his society ( 0001 ) and the same with society 0002 users.
How I can do this ???
thanks a lot.
Ismael

Hi,
This requires bit of ABAP help.
WE have achieved this scenario successfully based on the information provided below -(found the source on the internet!)
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 have the ABAPer to have company code on the selection screen. Based on user selection, invoke the corresponding neww transaction code ZOB52_000X which will only display the
Posting Variant that you have define in your table view.
Hope this solves your problem.

Open and close posting periods on test system

Hello together,
to open and close posting periods is only allowed on the develepment und the production client, but not on the test client.
It is an customizing object, but the flag "current settings" is set, so you also can change the settings on the production system.
In the test system, it only can be changed by opening the system for customizing using SCC4 und change to "Changes without automatic recording".
Is there a way to allow open and close posting periods on the test system without opening the client for customizing?
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Please, refer to the note 356483. Proceed as following:
Call transaction SE54
Enter the Customizing object (view or table)
Select "Generated objects"
Choose "Create/change"
Select "no, or user, recording routine" in the bottom part of the screen
Save the change
The view in your case is V_T001B.

Reg: Query Problem for New Posting Period

Hi Xperts,
While I try to Map the A/P Invoices with their respective Outgoing Payment,
I used the following Query and it's Query Printlayout
SELECT T0.DocNum [Payment#], T0.DocDate [Payment Date],
T0.CardCode, T0.CardName, T1.InvoiceId, T2.DocNum [AP Inv#],
T2.NumatCard [Bill No.], T2.DocDate [Bill Date], T1.selfInv,
T1.SumApplied, T1.WtAppld, T0.NoDocsum
FROM [dbo].[OVPM] T0 INNER JOIN
[dbo].[VPM2] T1 ON T1.[DocNum] = T0.DocNum
INNER JOIN [dbo].[OPCH] T2 ON T2.[DocEntry] = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T0.Cardname='[%0]' and T0.DocDate='[%1]' and
T0.DocNum='[%2]'
I got the above query from our Expert Mr.Sambath only.
Now what is the problem is the query is retrieving the payment details of old Posting Period only and not the current posting period.
In detail, I used 'Primary' Series for FY08-09, Period indicator 'Default'
Now I'm using 'Primary1' Series for FY09-10, Period indicator '0910'
Thanx in adv.
Regards,
Bala

Hi Bala,
Looking at your query, it is not query issue ,it is your data issue.
Please check if you have data in VPM2 table which is bank transfer payment method
Thank you

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.
Regards,
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.
