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...
Thnks & Regards

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.

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..

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.

Re-opening of Closed period

Hi,
I have closed current period 02/2011 and previous period 01/2011 in MMPV.
Now I need to re-open the current period 02/2011.
I checked in TCode: MMRV,
It's showing as Current Period : 02/2011
Previous Period: 01/2011.
As in MMPV, if current period is showing as 02/2011,then what could be reason for postings not happening in this period.
Please provide some solution for this.
I do not have access rights to change the period in OMSY and also to OB52.

Hi Arun,
In MMRV, I have already checked the check box for Allow postings for the previous period.With this am able to do postings for the period 01/2011.
But posting is not possible for 02/2011.
In OB52, the period is given as 12/2011 - 01/2011.
Thanks,
Nirmala

Thanks Everybody for your help. It was resolved.
The Periods in the Fiscal Year Variant (Z1 is my case) were not maintained for the Calendar Year 2009.
Maintenance was done in SPRO in the following path ( Financial Accounting/ Financial Accounting Global Settings/Fiscal Year/ Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year) ).
And after this I could close and open the periods in the system.
Thank you all for the help.

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
Ramki

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

Opening and closing periods in MM.

Hi all,
I am trying to close the period 2008/01 and open 2009/07 in MM, I tried to do it from mmpv and got this error, " Incorrect period in control rec. of CoCd 4000; no conversion. The current period (month/year) of the control record is 012008. I went to IMG using omsy and it referred me back to mmpv? anyone with a solution? Thanks.

Hi ,
You can't directly close 2008/01 and open 2009/07 .
You have to do it month wise .
For example your current period is 2008/01 ...so next you have to open 2008/02 then 2008/03 ....2009/07 .
So go to MMPV and close- open period as per my suggestion .

Reg: Extract Date for the closed periods

Hi,
In FI/CO, Every Financial year accounts have been closed.
Now issue is I want do extract the data for a particular period of which is closed (2002) By using some standard prog. It is giving an error msg that the input date is closed. How to over come this as a technical guy. They require the data for 6 months in 2002.
Regards
Reddy

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your Questions. Below are the explainations:
1. Can you expalin how your system is behaving at the moment?
A. Presently the GR Processing time is 1 day for a material in Plant. So, if the user wants to produce on Wednesday (Planned date in PR, provided by the MRP run), then the delivery should be on Tuesday (Because GR processing time is 1 day). In the same way, he dont wants the delivery to be on Friday. I mean, if he wants to produce on Monday, he wants the delivery to be on Thursday.
Only Friday, he don't wants to make the Delivery.(The delivery date should not show Friday in PR's).
2. Pls explain your original MRP view and planning calendor setting...
A. For solving of the above issue, we changed the Lot size to copy of "PK" - Period lot size acc to planniong calendar. Then we maintained the Planning calendar, in which the periods are for every Monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday. Expecting, the delivery should be excluded for friday, the friday in the planning calendar is not given as a period.
The scheduling paramter in the Lotsize is tried with both the options (period start = Deliery date and period end = Delivery date).
Later removed "PD" in MRP type and tried with "R1" Time phase req. But, the precondition for this is to maintain "Forecast req". This is also done. But, then, the system for this material is not responding to the MRP run. It is asking to run the forecast model. We ar not using SOP.
3. The results thst you get with current setting?
A. For the planned date in PR of Monday, the delivery date in PR is on the day before monday. i.e., Friday (Saturday and sundays are holidays).
4. Expected results...?
A. For the planned date in PR of Monday, the delivery date in PR should be Thursday (the day before monday production).
Hope, i am clear in my explaination. Please revert back, if you need any more information.
Thanks and Regards

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.
