Restricted posting in previos posting period

Dear All,
As per our normal practice for quarterly closing, the posting period is closed before the end of month (a week before) and a new posting period is opened at the same time for the starting month. However, the Bank Statements are received from the bank on the first day of new month. The user needs to execute bank statement upload in the previous posting period for the reason that no new payment can be made by any user in that date which can cause problem in reconciliation of published accounts. It is an understanding that the statement upload does not impact the cumulative balances of bank accounts (6++++++1 for upload, 6+++++2 for check incoming, 6+++++3 for check outgoing, 6+++++4 for others incoming / outgoing). We also need to restrict our user / users just to post to the G/L for the Bank Accounts (6+++++++ series) in the previous posting period.
We created user groups in OB52 and assigned them to the specific users to execute bank statement upload in the previous period but using this authorization group technique we can’t stop our users to only post to Bank G\L accounts because the authorization group only works for Accounting type "Valid for all Accounts types".
Please explain the procedure through which the users are able
1 – To post in the previous posting period.
2 – And ONLY to specific bank G\L accounts series.

Shabbir Hussain

  • Restrict posting period only a limited set of users using Auth Group

    Hi all,
    Can someone help me in restricting posting period to only a limited number of users?
    Currently OB52 settings look like below:
    From Per.1  Year  To Period           From per.2   Year    To Period
        7                 2009         8                          8              2008            8
    My requirement is:
    I want to only few users to post in the 7th period and all others to post in the 8th period.
    I know this can be done via authorization group: Can someone please help me with the steps invloved in solving the same?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for your response!
    I have added F_BKPF_BUP object manually in the test role and assigned 0002 auth group in it.
    I have created auth group 0002 and assigned table T001B in SE54.
    Auth group 0002 is then assigned in the OB52 at the last column. This should restrict the posting for period 1 which i need to restrict for some users.
    Now as per the logic, if we dont assign any auth group, users should not be able to post for that period. But in my case user is able to post successfully via F-02.
    Please help me as we need to implement this before month end.
    Many thanks for your valuable help!
    Thanks

  • Assign posting periods to authorization group in tcode S_ARL_87003642

    Hello,
    I want to restrict posting periods for some users. Therefore, I have created 2 functions associated to 2 authorization groups.
    In transaction S_ARL_87003642, when I try to assign different posting periods to each authorization group to the same company code (Posting Period Variant) it appears a message saying u2018Target key must be different from source keyu2019.
    What am I doing wrong? Do you know how can I restrict posting periods for some users?
    Thanks and regards

    Dear,
    You simply have to define authorisation groups in OB52 and assign this group to F_bkpf_bup in SU01 against user proflie as desired. Take basis help.

  • Restrict the posting period opening and closing for some users

    Dear SAP gurus,
    I want to restrict some users to open the posting period and for some users close posting periods. I knew that these can be done through authorization group. Pls explain how to create authorization groups and how to use those?  Anybody can help me out?
    Regards,
    Venkata Reddy

    Dear Venkatareddy,
    There are two sets of period in OB52. The first set of "From" and "To" is for the authorised group and second set is for the non authorised group. In the "Authorisation Group" (last column) give some 4 charecters name. Say "FICO".
    Now ask the basis to attach the object "FICO" for the users who are authorised say user1, user 2 and user3.
    Now in the first set of period you can maintain say 1 2008 to 16 2008 and in the second set 1 2008 to 1 2008.
    So except user1,2 and 3, all the others can post only in 1 2008. Whereas users 1,2 and3 can post in all the periods of 2008.
    Assign points if useful

  • Restrict Open / Close Posting Periods for Users (OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 )

    Hello everybody.
    I'd like to know if there is a way to restrict that some users open posting periods in OB52 or S_ALR_87003642 and some other different users close posting periods.
    Hoping you could help it, as our organization had that policy from our previous system,
    Best regards,
    Elvis E. Henriquez A.

    Hi
    Sorry, but I do not think that's possible in SAP Standard.
    OB52 / S_ALR_87003642 are build around a maintenance view for table T001B. This mean that the access primarily are controlled by the S_TABU_DIS (and S_TABU_LIN) object, and with these object's you can control access to maintain / display only, you can not control the values of the input data.
    I think that you will need to create your own application and authorization object in order to achieve your requirement.

  • Restrict Access in OB52 by Posting Period Variant

    Hello,
    In our company there are many posting period variants. We want to restrict the access for opening and closing posting periods in OB52 by Posting period variant. i.e. User can open/close for a specific posting period variant and not all.
    On searching on this forum, i found some solutions saying that one can create Screen variants according to Posting period Variant but i am not very clear on it.
    It would be very helpful, if someone can provide detailed solution for this scenario; or share one's experience on this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ankur

    Inside OB52, the last column on the right is titled AuGr. Expanded, that stands for Authorization Group. Hit <F1> after keeping the cursor in that field and read what SAP has to say about that field.
    That is the answer to what you need - a posting period can be made available to only a limited set of users using the Authorization Group. You'll need to enlist the help of your resident BASIS team members for putting this into use.
    Remember to assign points if found useful.

  • FI posting period variant restricted in OB52

    Hi,
    First all of you have HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.
    My problem is i have multiple posting period variant (Multiple company code wise), i want to restrict posting peirod variant in OB52 i.e. one posting period variant for one company code to be open / close only by concerned user of that company code.
    pls. advice asap.
    regards,
    mahesh

    Hi
    You have multiple posting period variants (multiple company code wise).
    After the creation of posting period variant in OBBO you will assign the posting period variant to Company code in OBBP.Once you assign one posting period variant to company code , the posting period is restricted to that company code only.
    use Authorization groups if you want to restrict the posting periods to the users.
    suppose that authorization group for user A is A.
    Go to OB52 -
    >Open/Close posting periods.
    Variant(posting period variant) , Account type , From Period1(6) , Year(2008) , To Period1(6) , Year(2008) , From Period2(7) , Year(2008) , To Period(7) , Authorization Group(A)
    This means that periods 6 and 7 are accessible to Authorization group A and Period 7 is accessible to rest of the authorization groups.
    This will solve your issue.
    Regards

  • Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

    Hi All,
    NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
    I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
    Diagnosis
    Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
    System Response
    Procedure
    Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
    Procedure for System Administration

    OK.
    Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
    I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
       -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
    If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
       -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
    If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
       -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
    If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
    Good luck!

  • 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

  • Posting period issue while deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO

    Hi ..
    I am facing an issue whiel deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO.
    Confirmation was posted for a limit PO in SRM and it created a service entry sheet in SAP. If I deleted that confirmation in the same posting period, then it is getting deleted. No issue here.
    But if I deleted that confirmation in the next posting period then the reversal document is going to error in process. RZ20 is showing the error "Positng only possible in periods 2012/2 and 2012/3".
    Posting date of reversal document is current date only and the backend posting period is 2012/3, but still it is failing with this posting period error.
    If I tried to delete a confirmation posted for a normal PO then I could able to delete it even in next posting period by just changing the posting date.
    Why this posting occurs while deleting the limit confirmation, even through the posting date is falls within the backenn posting periiod? Is it like, SAP system is trying to delete the service entry sheet in original posting period? Kindly help.
    I am in SRM 5.0 (server 5.5) SP12.
    Thanks,

  • Calquarter from posting period in reporting level

    Hi Guys,
    We don't have the calquater in cube level.But in reporting
    we need to calculate the calquarter from posting period.
    My requirement is, when user enters the posting period 5 it
    should show the quarter 1 and quarter 2 values. If user
    enters posting period 7 it shoold show the qua1,qua2 and
    qua3 values.
    Can any one suggest me how we can get this?
    Helpful answers will be rewarded with full points.
    Prasad

    Hello,
    Create 4 variables (range) on Posting period for eg. qtr1 , qtr2, qtr3, qtr4 of type Customer Exit. Now Create 4 Restricted Keyfigures for the Key figure u want to display each restricted with posting period by qtr1 , qtr2, qtr3, qtr4.
    Now write the code to fill in these variables depending on the User entry value. so for eg, if user enters 5, then fill
    qtr1 with low value 001 and high value 003 of the same year as input value.
    qtr2 with low value 004 and high value 005 (input value) of the same year.
    as you dont want to show qtr 4 and qtr 5, fill them with some period for which you are sure there would be no values in the cube (may be some period in past or dummy year like 9999). You can then eliminate these columns by suppress zero value columns.
    Similarly write the logic for all 12 periods to fill corresponding Qtr1 to Qtr 4. So in report Restricted KF will show KF value resricted to corresponding Qtr

    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.

    GuruPrsad

    Hi Guru,
    If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular
    posting period, proceed as follows:
    Add the posting period authorization (authorization object
    F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an
    authorization group (e.g. '0001').
    Enter the account type '+' for the posting period variant to which
    the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all
    users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g.
    '0001') in the last column.
    For this you need to consult with Basis people authorization matrix.
    Regards,
    Teja

  • OB52 close posting periods

    All,
    Our finance people use transaction OB52 to close posting periods. This transaction very well might not be the correct one for my users to use. But  there is no way to restrict this transaction by company code. I checked the available objects to switch in SU24. Basically our finance people have verbal instructions to not close periods for other comapny codes although they have authorization to do so.
    Does anyone know 1) if OB52 is the correct transaction to use and 2) how we can restrict this transaction by company code?
    Thank you,
    Michael Jaynes

    > but I forget which one
    It is "stuck" in the IMG and has an equally meaningless description. Useless for a "normal" menu.
    If you use the BUKRS field for S_TABU_LIN then it will have major consequences. Please be carefull of it.
    F_BKPF_BUP-BEGRU is the correct approach (giving you also the option of maintaining and posting to account types and individual accounts).
    From my experience a user with such access to OB52, can post anyway to the same KOART and then close it.
    Cheers,
    Julius
