Special period for commitement

hello,
we want to size prices for a third period 2006 in the transaction kp26.
we cant and we have the following message:
Period 13 is not allowed for the planning period.
I already customize 12 normal periods and 1 special in ob29 and for the analytical perimeter.
for real costs i have 13 periods but still 12 for commitment.
could you help me?
thank you

You can do planning only in the normal periods as you have defined in the T/code:ob29.You cant do planning in the special period.But in special periods you can post the actuals.[The year end adjustment entries etc are all done in the special period.].
The concept of planning itself is to have a projected figure for comparison and control.you have determined [ in ob 29] that your working calender will have 12 periods;as such you can plan for these periods only.
Special period is not a part/ a period of the fiscal year.It is the area in which your auditors,etc can work and post the adjustment entries.Please note that the entries in the special period itself should pertain to these [ normal ]12 periods.In other words you can not construe the special period as an extended fiscal year.
If you want to post/plan for the 13 th period,change your fiscal year variant to have 13 normal periods.Also note that you can have only one fiscal year variant for a company code.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Ramesh

Special Period for every quarter

Hi,
My client wish to have special periods for every quarter.
For Example:
I posted document number 1 to 100 for 1st quarter. Now document number for 2nd quarter should start from document number 151.
The remaining document number 101 to 150 must be for any adjustments made in 2nd quarter regarding 1st quarter on the basis of auditor's requirement.
Is it possible ?

No.
It is not possible
You cannot have document number ranges per quarter
You can have document number ranges per company code and fiscal year.

FI-AA Normal and Special Periods

hi,
In Asset Accounting there are normal and special periods for a fiscal year,why do we use the special periods?
Vinay

The fiscal year version defines the number and relation to the calendar of the depreciation periods in the fiscal year in Asset Accounting. Asset Accounting generally uses the same fiscal year version as Financial Accounting (general ledger). In this case, the depreciation periods of Asset Accounting correspond to the posting periods of Financial Accounting (without special periods).
Special period is used to enter the transactions which occur after the end of financial year but related to that financial year & also for making closing entries.
Special period is used as a control method for making closing enties by restricting through authorization.
Warm Regards

Special periods in reporting

Hello friends,
Let me ask, maybe you'll have the idea how to implement the functionality I need. I use 16 periods in my BW implementation (12 months and 4 special periods). When running the report, user can put the period as a selection. It means that user puts "5" to see may data etc. But when user puts the special period, for example "14", he/her should see actually periods 12-14, as special periods are assigned to December in my firm.
Any help is appreciated.
Kooyot

Some thoughts:
For periods from 12 and beyond ( to cover all the special perids), make a separate variable filled by an exit. The exit should apply the logic : if the period is >12, then read the data from 12 onwards untill the value entered , for example, if the value entered is 13, the variable should read 12 & 13 and the data to be displayed accordingly.
With the variable mentioned above, create a restricted key figure and use the same in the query.

Running GR55 reports for special periods

When running GR55 reports, the selection field for "Period" only lists periods 1 to 12. We are using the standard K4 FI year variant.
Can someone tell me how to get the 4 special periods displayed for selection?
Thank you,
Hakiza

The drop down in the "To" field only lists periods 001 to 012, but it lets you manually enter other periods such as 14 or 16.
So you are not limited by the periods displayed in the drop down box.
I hope this solves your problem. Thanks,
Hakiza

Special Prices for "SALE" period.

Dear SD pricing experts,
We seek a suggestion for a pretty common scenario wherein when we have a SALE period -- by definition it could mean special prices for SOME of the regular items -- maybe old arrivals / improper condition of the item hence devalued but still perfectly usable, for a specific period. However for the same period, some items (quantities) of the same, which are in brand new condition, would be available for sale at the regular price.
How can one handle this in the SAP SD pricing or related. This should be such that only the right material goes at the right price and not the GOOD material at the SALE price.
Please note there is no separate identification' of the "devalued" items. e.g. cloth items, or cosmetic items which have lost their packaging and likewise.
Look forward to a valuable solution to this.
Regards,
Tariq

Hi,
It is understood that you want to give special prices for certain items. The special prices can be given through discount condition K007.
1.     Create a condition table that includes u2018Order reasonu2019 as one of the fields. Say, the condition table includes Sales organization, Distribution channel, Division and Order reason. Say, the condition table is 650.
2.     Create an access sequence Z001 u2013 Discount for SALE period; this access sequence has the condition table 650.
3.     Enter this access sequence in condition type K007.
4.     Create order reason as 101-Sale period dis A, 102-Sale period dis B, 103-Sale period dis C [Menu path: Spro >> SD >>Sales >> Sales docu header >> Define order reason]
5.     Maintain condition record for K007 in VK11. Maintain different discounts for different order reason.
6.     Create a sales order. If the material is eligible for discount, select the order reason [eg; 101]. The respective discount will be reflected.
7.     The condition record is controlled by the u2018from- tou2019 validity period.
8.     If you need to reflect the discounted price in the price PR00 itself, assign this access sequence in the condition type PR00 and maintain different prices for different order reason. You will get PR00 value directly.
Hope this information will be useful to you.

Hi,
How many records you want import?
If more than thousand records, you need to split the records into 1000 records to import correctly.

KEU5: Allocating special period costs for receivers in 12th period only

Dear All,
Every year I'm facing a problem with allocating costs of special periods (13-16) to receivers that were posted in 12th period.
By senders I mean cost centers.
By receivers I mean sales documents from december (F-type documents)
I don't want to use cumulative allocation method since it will use receivers from all months.
Best regards,
Mark

Dear Mark,
What is the problem that you are facing... Can you elaborate more...

Aging calculation with Special periods

Hi all,
I have a asset cube (Cumulative movements) to store values by fiscalyear/period including special period (P13-P16) and requirements to get aging report based on fiscal year/period and report as follows.
Curent | >30days|>60 days| >120 days| >180 days|
Asset Number
I’m getting aging is based on selection period, and with off set (-1, -2, -3 etc.) .
For example, If selection date 002.2014, P2 amount will be in current , P1 amount in >30 days, P12 amount in >60days but in >60days expecting to get from P16 to P12 values.
Please give some inputs to get special periods values into aging backet as Cube is storing special period values.
Regards
Naani.

Hi Naami
Since you can't work with fiscal year period to offset with std values then create a Variable with customer exit and translate fiscal year period to calmonth then offset this one with your values.
Thank you
Yiannis

Depreciation run with special period

We require 2 set of FS reports:-
1.) FS as at 14/12/2007
2.) FS as at 31/12/2007
We have use the following period to derive the the reports
1.) Period 12 (Transactions 1st - 14th Dec 2007)
2.) Period 14 ( Transactions 15th - 31st Dec 2007)
Q1.)Should Dec depreciation run on period 14?
Q2.) If yes, will the depreciation run capture the depreciation from 1st - 31st Dec 2007?
Q3.) We have tried to run Dec depreciation in period 14 but error "According to the posting cycle, you should post period 012 next."
Pls advise
1.) Steps to run Dec 2007 depreciation in order to capture the whole month depreciation.
2.) Which period to open in OB52.
Kindly assist as this is urgent. Points will be rewarded. Thank you

Dear Hari,
Thank you for the helpful points. Rewarded.
FYI, our cut off date is 14th Dec 2007. Any transactions after this date will go to period 14. In OB52, we set only period 14 open to block user from posting to other periods. Will this affect the depreciation run (given scenario where we run AFAB for period 12)?
When we run AFAB for period 12, this is the error we get:
Period 12 is not allowed
Message no. F5567
Diagnosis
The period entered (12) is different from the period calculated (14) and is also not in the interval for special periods (013 to 016).
System Response
Error.
Procedure
Correct the value entered for the posting period.
What shoud we do?

Use of special periods if SAP

Dear guruz,
Please help to get more information about posting in special periods (13-16) in SAP.
We have following situation:
After year end closing we need to audit our financial statements for external use (IFRS). As audit lasts several months I cannot afford to leave the balances of new year unuploaded. So I perform the balance carry forward procedure before the audit starts.
Now I'd like to add some corrections in audited reporting by use of special posting periods.
My questions are:
-does these postings, performed after balance carry forward procedure affect on accounts in future (is this possible to face with problems in the future); Do I have to repeat the balance carry forward procedure?
-is this possible to divide all the postings (for internal reporting and for audited reporting) to be able to see these balances in standard SAP reports (such as S_ALR_87012300 "GL account balances" and so on) with and without postings made by use of special periods in previous years.
respect,
Oleg.

1. I don't think that assumption is correct. Bal. c/f program can be run multiple times. Also, once bal. c/f program is run, if you make any postings in the previous year they are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year. Here is the bal. c/f program documentaton.
This program is used to carry forward the balances of the general ledger or another ledger to the new fiscal year.
The program can be run multiple times.
Normally, the program does not need to be run more than once, since postings to the previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year, if the balance carry forward program has already been run.
Generally, the balance is carried forward as follows:
Balance sheet accounts are transferred with all additional account assignments.
P&L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings account. Additional account assignments are not transferred. The transaction currencies are not transferred and are totaled in the local currency.
2. In your case, if you are using new GL, you can create a non-leading ledger and post audit adjustments only to the non-leading ledger. You regular postings for the year hit both the leading (0L) and non-leading ledgers.
3. I am not good at asset accounting - so I can't answer your question on depreciation for audit adjustment postings.

Inversion documents when using the special Periods with FYV K4

Hello All,
            I have posted some documents in Period 12 and they are not inverting in period1. we are using the FYV as K4 which is 12 periods plus 4 special periods. My business requirement is whatever the documents posted in Period12 to Period 16, they need to be inverted in Period1.
            I have tried all different combinations and permitation by changing the consolidation frequency, Document types and tasks. But there is no use and SAP also replied back as per the below. So please help if you have any information regarding this issue.
25.11.2008 - 16:54:36 CET - Reply by SAP
Dear Jags,
There is no special handling of the 'special' periods regarding invers-
ion.
The period initialization task just considers the closing frequency,
which is assigned to the respective task.
According to this frequency, it inverts the previous closing period.
If you use the closing frequency monthly, which contains
also the special periods 13-16, then the following logic applies:
period of execution / inversion period of original document
01 16
02 01
03 02
04 03
05 04
06 05
07 06
08 07
09 08
10 09
11 10
12 11
13 12
14 13
15 14
16 15
If the closing frequency contains also the special periods, please
execute the period initialization task also in all special periods.
I hope this helps to answer your question. If so, please confirm this

          Issue: I am unable to invert the doc in period1.
         Even I tried with 2 different doc types and 2 different Flexible upload methods. But there is no use.
          TEST2 task is showing up in period13 only in the cons monitor
                   Posted one document with 2 lines in Period13.
                   It is inverting in period1 part of the period initialization task, so here there is no issue from the beginning.

Special Period

Hello Experts!!
I am having one confusion regarding special period.
Example:
Our fiscal year is from January to December.
Suppose we have carried forward the all balances of GL, Customers and Vendors for the Year 2007.
Now we have posted the entries in the year 2008. At present, settings in OB52 are as follow.
From period (11-2008) To period (12-2008)
and for special period (13-2008 to 16-2008)
Now my question is, according to above settings, still we can make the adjustment postings in the December, 2007. am i right?
if yes then, will they affect the opening and closing balance of 2008?
Now another question, if we carry forward the balance of 2008 and we want to make the adjustment posting for December, 2007 then the system will allow me to do adjustment posting after doing the following settings?
From period (11-2008) to period (12-2008)
Special Periods (13-2009 to 16-2009)
Please clarify this situation.....
Regards,
Jimmy

You can forward the closing balances once the fiscal year is closed. And closing of fiscal year means, closing of posting as well as special periods.
You will not be able to pass any adjustment entry after forwarding the balances And it is not advisable to reopen the fiscal year once it is closed after making adjustment entry.

Mohit
