Reopen a closed period

Hi All,
Can anyone help me in this regard please?
I am in the starting phase of learning SD. By mistake I accidentally closed all my open periods till 10-2010 with MMPV.Now when i go to post stock with the help of MB1C,there i put posting date as 08.09.2010. , it shows error saying "Posting Period 009 2010 is not open"
If i give posting date in future say 11.11.2010 then the error is " Posting only possible in periods 2010/09 and 2010/08 in company code 999c"
Actually I am not FI guy and my concept of posting periods is not also clear.
So can anyone help me with some detailed instructions as to how to avoid these errors and post correctly when i have closed the periods?

Essentially you need to clear want you want to do. You can't assume the system is flexible to allow any dates to be posted into the system. This is a material ledger system requirement for a multitude of reports and balances kept to have some form of control and efficiency. So if you have closed till 10-2010 material ledger(MMPV), assuming the calendar period is used, current period is October 2010. Therefore any postings should have happened in October 2010. At any point in time if you require that backdated postings be done example you are performing month end process for September but straddles over to early Oct 2010 then system still allows back posting for only 1 previous month, MMRV is just a tcode to enable the previous month posting if you didn't enable it during MMPV month end closing for material ledgers.
As for financial period , the controls are not the same as material ledger month end. For financial period closing is fully flexible that you can post in any posting date as long as it is enable in OB52.

How to Reopen the closed period?

Dear Friends
I have to reverse a MIGO document created in the month of December. When I tried to do the same, the system is giving th error message that posting is only possible in the period 11, 2008 and 12, 2008.We consider April as the 1st month of the year.
How can I reopen 09, 2008 and make the reversal ??
Thanks
Chandra

You are trying to reverse the document created in Dec-08. The system message says posting only allowed in 11 and 12-08. Normal business scenario you should not perform reversal of MIGO this way. Follow return PO process to return the receipted goods.
Otherwise, if it is must, open both FI and MM periods. Fi period via OB52, MM period via MMPV/MMRV tcodes. It has option to open previous period. So, you may have to repeat steps to get to period 09-08.
Hope it helps.

MM Closed Period ReOpen

Dear All,
I have closed the MM period for the current month by mistake, now I want to reverse / Reopen the closed period.
Plz guide me how to do it

Hi,
If can flag allow posting in previous period using MMRV, is the best option rather than opening the previous period as it is not adivisible in productive system.
MMPI.If you want to run the period initialization program. Note that when you start the period closing with initialization, inconsistencies can arise.
Follow the instructions in Note 487381 before initialization
Note 487381 describe the possible data inconsistencies that can occur if you perform initialization in a productive system. The inconsistencies cannot be traced back to a system error. Hope this helps you

Effects of reopening closed periods in Asset Accounting.

Hi SAP Gurus,
My client wants to open the closed periods in Asset accounting. I have used T Code OAAQ and changed the last closed period.
I would like to know what are the effects of opening the closed periods.
Will it effect the already posted depriciation and what further steps should I take after the entries are passed.
Even after I opened the period both in FI and AA it still is giving me a message that I cannot post to this year.
Can you kindly suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Hari

If you post any entries to the asset , the depreciation will change in asset accounting and will not match with the general ledger unless depreciation posting run is executed.
However, since you have already executed depreciation posting, AFAB selecting repeat run in the last period or special period if your company code have special periods.
Caution: It will change the P&L and Balance sheet balances.
Please check the Post Capitalization Option (ABNAN) for asset values missed in the past for capitalization

Hello Hana,
It is possible to reopen a previously closed period. However, it isn't
advisable to do because the valuation data of the previous period could
get affected. If you decide to proceed with the process, please review
the documentation of program RMMMINIT (To see this documentation, please
do the following: SE38, RMMMINIT, and select the documentation button
and display).
Take into account the documentation of the program RMMMINIT:
"Caution
Be careful if the period used for initialization precedes the current
period in the control record for the company code since this can result
in an inconsistency between goods movements and material master segments
This is because the stock information in the material master segments is
assigned to the new current period in this case."
Please also review the note 70545 regarding the initialization
process. Although this note is NOT valid for your release, it provides
good information on the use of initialization for correction purposes.
Additionally, please review the note 369637 in this regard as well.
PLEASE FIRST PERFORM THIS IN A TEST/DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRIOR TO MOVING
TO PRODUCTION AS YOUR VALUATION DATA FROM PREVIOUS PERIOD WILL BE
AFFECTED. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can move it
to production.
Also see the SAP On-line documentation (http://help.sap.com):
Logistics - General (LO)
-> Logistics Basic Data (LO-MD)
-> Material Master (LO-MD-MM)
-> Period closing
In addition, as you know, please check the following note as well:
487381 - RMMMINIT: Protection against unintentionial execution
I hope this information helps you.

MM Closing Period(Urgent)

Dear Experts,
In our development server,By mistake we have closed periods till november.We want to open and try to run in the current period,how to do that???
Plz do reply me...
Thanks and Regards
MK

hi Mk
for opening the already closed period & if we want to reopen & post it in previous period.use MMRV
When you are opening Aug'2007 then the period Jul'2007 is closed.
You have the option of posting in the Jul'2007 by setting the posting allowed in the pervious period in MMRV transaction.
But u will not able to post for period June'2006 , once you open August'2007 period. That is the reason why it is always mentioned that Posting to previous to previos period is not possible.
Hope it answers your Prob.
Please reward points if u are satisfied with the answer

Variance analysis at reopening a closed Discrete Job at 11.5.10.3

Hi,
On Discrete Manufacturing at 11.5.10.3 we closed several Job´s which were at several Production stage, then reopened all at same day.
As I know Variance, if exists, is launched when Job is closed, and when reopened (in same Period) Variance is not pulled back to process, it is only adjusted.
But I am facing a strange situation: there are Job´s only opened but not transacted any line when closed, and they were reopened at same day the way they are.
But now, a week ago, with transaction lines, Job´s is showing Variance.
Does anybody have faced that also ?

I want post closed period.. how to do that

Hi
I want to post a document in closed period, how to reopen in production server, and after post wht are the further steps.
Thank you

Hi
Once the period is closed, it is not advisable to open the period again.
First check the procedure following in your company, if the procedure allows, open the period in tcode-OB52 and do accordingly, if not no chance post in current period.

Delta extraction of modified data in already closed periods

Hi everyone,
we're currently facing a scenario where data in BI does not seem to match R/3. We're using the business content extractors 0ec_pca_3 & 0ec_pca_4 to get data for a balance sheet report, but some of the figures don't match. The client currently uses periods 001 - 013, in other words they have one special period. After much investigation and discussions with the users, we found out that the client sometimes goes back and makes changes to periods that have already been closed. For instance, period 013.2007 is closed in R/3 (and loaded to BI), at some point in 2008 the client "reopens" the period and modifies the data. This data does not seem to be picked up by the BI delta extractor. So our theory is that the two systems don't balance because of this late period modification. My questions are:
Is it part of standard SAP FI process to re-open an already closed period and add/change/delete data?
If so, would this changes be picked up by the standard delta extraction? If not why and is there anything we can do to achieve this?
If not part of standard process, what would the solution be? We've suggested to potentially create a separate period, say period 014, for these changes? Would this be a recommended way forward?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Dion

0EC_PCA_4 does not support delta right?
Have you already checked contraints mentioned in these links?

Can a full load for the missing records be tried?
Also look at Note 577644

To open the closing period...

Hi all,
To reverse the period, is there is any other way other than following methods.
Note that no transaction is done.
1.Reassignment of Plant
2.To run SAP note initialization (MM_PI_Note)
If we remove Plant it makes some problem and for running SAP notes we need Basis and abaper help.
Any other solution is there...

Hi
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.

Open and Closed periods

Dear FI experts,
For FISL, can I say that a closed period can be modified and closed again?
For example, periods 1-6 have been closed.
Correction or adjustment need to be done in period 2. Period 3-6 balances are affected. So, how is the adjustment applied to the 6 periods? In this case, a closed period becomes opened again? Is such a scenario possible?
Thanks

It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.

If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

Opening and closing periods in FI

Dear FICO experts,
Just a quick question regarding OB52.
We have only 1 company code, can we use the same posting period variant in mulitple line items for the combination ALL account types and a range of periods that are open?
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011
Posting period variant:0001 (continue making new posting period variants for all account types as needed)
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2012
Period to: 12
Year: 2012
OR
Do we just adjust the one line item: example below
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011 (keep ajdusting this one line item whenever we need to open new periods for all account types)
Thanks, Deb
Moderator: Company code is assigned to one variant; so the question is irrelevant

Hi,
The Posting Period Variant is just defined once and is not year dependent.
The second option that you maintained is the way how the Posting Periods are maintained.
Against the Same Posting period variant, you can have your open and closed periods and years maintained year after year.
Generally, you keep only 1 period in a year open, the current period, and at the most 2-3 periods in some cases, and that you can easily maintain in Range.
Hope this clarifies..

SAPFICO

Opening/closing periods in DEV - good procedure

What's the best way to deal with opening or closing periods in a DEV system? This is a sandpit client in DEV that is normally closed to changes. Should I unlock the client and have the change trigger the creation of a transport, or not bother about forcing the creation of a transport, as it's not going anywhere?

Hey,
It is surprising that your Dev system is closed to changes. So how do you usually use it if you were to test your development prior to moving it to Q. Do you use the Original dev and copy the Transports to the sandpit?
Regardless.. based on your information.. have your Sandpit client unlocked...Unless there is a wierd but valid reason why it has been locked.. BASIS acts strange at times. CTS should be disabled as well. however it should not pose any issues if the transports hang around.. moroever you would not need to log your changes as they serve the purpose. Hope this helps
