Automate month-end process using BDC OB52

Hello All,
Did anyone work for FI period open/Close automation? OB52 is used for opening and closing of FI posting periods. Did anyone write a BDC for transaction OB52.
Thanks in advance
Pavan

No, but it seems fairly straightforward. Could you be more specific about what you're looking for?

Multiple Authorization groups to be used in OB52 for a single company code

Hello All,
I need help in creating and assigning authorization groups in Transaction Code: OB52 to control the postings of few users in one authorization group. That is i want some users to post in 2 back period and others in only 1 back period.I have tried from my side and it is still not working.
I followed the following step:
I have created 2 groups and assigned the users accordingly but the thing is i am only able to find 1 feild for entering authorization group
If there is any thing i am missing or if i have done some thing wrong in this process please help me.
Please Provide me the logic of how to use two authorization groups with one feild.
Best Regards,
Ravi

Assign the required periods for Groub b in Row 2

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

Open/Closing of periods

Hi,
We can open and close posting periods by using TC-OB52 but this job can be done by only authorised persons. If they r not available can enduser can change these periods? If it is true how can they? I just listened that he can change through easy access path. Can anybody tell me the path to do this please.

Hello Krishna,
you find a further TC S_ALR_87003642 '"Open and close posting periods" in GL/Environment/Current settings. Depending on the authorizations maybe the enduser is able to change the periods.
Best regards

CO validation according BUKRS

Hi there. Could You tell me some tips how to validate CO in such scenario:
At this moment we've got 1 Controlling Area (Let's say CA1)
We've got 4 CoCodes (let's say CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4)
The Controlling Area CA1 is common for all 4 CoCodes. That's an Cross-company-code cost accounting .
The problem is that Co Posting Periods are closed 'globally', for the whole Controlling Area CA1 ( = for all CoCodes assigned to CA1, that is CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4).
I need to create transaction in which user could open/close Co Periods separately for each CoCode. So for example Period 1 can be closed for CC1, but it's opened for CC2 etc.
I know that I need to create a Z-table, which will keep info about periods closed. I think it's structure could be the same as KAPS ("CO Period Locks") table with BUKRS field added by me. Now I know I should use OKC7 Tcode. But what now?
Could You give me some tips about most suitable solution? I'm newbe in world of rules, callup-points and other validation components.
I'll be very thankful for help. Greetings.

Hi!
I'm not very familiar with CO, but you can close and open periods for each company code, using transaction OB52.
Check this out first, it might help you.

Posting periods

hi all
i am doing pgi it saying that posting is only possible 2007/6 to 2007/5.after that i did mmpv and close the periods upto 11th month.now i am doing pgi its saying that posting is only possible 2007/10 to 2007/11.for the same period i am dong the trasaction again why it is showing the message
please help me regarding this
thanks

Hi satish,
Use trcode OB52 and be careful about variant, account year and period.
For example;
From per.1:1 Year:2007 To period:12 Year:2007
From per.2:1 Year:2007 To period:12 Year:2007
You should maintain these for each A coloumn (for example:A,D,K,M,S,V,+ .... for A coloumn)
I think this will solve your problem.

Open an already closed period

Is it possible to open an already closed posting period? If yes, how? And is it recommended to open any closed period?
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
There are two different places where the period is closed in SAP.
a. FI period
Use transaction OB52.
b. MM period - MMPI
The help extract for the same is given below for your reference:
Short text
Initialize Period for Material Master Records
Description
This program must be viewed in conjunction with the period closing program (RMMMPERI). It does the following:
Sets the current period
However, do not use this program to set the new period at the end of a period, and use it only in addition to the period closing program, never instead of it.
Creates or updates the control record
Makes it possible to create material master records if you are initializing a company code for the first time
However, to initialize company codes, you are recommended using the IMG activity Maintain company codes for materials management instead of this program.
You can also use this program to correct data inconsistencies, for example, due to user errors when running the period closing program, or that occur as a result of skipping several periods in a test system. However, first make sure you understand why the inconsistency arose and then decide whether running this program is the correct way of resolving it.
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 (see the following example).
Example
Current period 02
Opening stock balance 0 pieces
Goods receipt 10 pieces
Period used for initialization 01
According to the material master segment, there are 10 pieces in stock in period 01, although 10 pieces were posted to stock in period 02 according to the goods movement document.

Track changes in opening / closing FI period

Does SAP have a standard report to track the changes made by opening / closing FI periods in a given date range for a particular company code using T Code OB52 and also track who has made the changes.
If there is no standard report what is the solution to get this

I would like to know steps or T-CODE for end year closing.
1) With TC: F.16 we can carry forward the balance to next year.
2) With TC: OBH2 copy the number ranges to next year
3) Open next year periods by selecting the Posting Period Variant.
4) Then test by posting the transaction in F-02
How about TC : OB52, when we can't run that steps?
Check List:
In order to arrive at correct profit or loss for the month following checklist can be followed:
Month end closing Activities
1) All the expenses including amortization, prepaid expenses, Preliminary expenses and accruals have been booked.
2) Complete Bank Reconciliation
3) Make sure that Sum of Inter company balances is Zero
4) Suspense Accounts should be cleared regularly.
5) Ensure that all documents related to MM & SD have been entered in system.
6) Ensure that all billing documents are released to accounting.
7) Calculate Overheads on all process Orders (CO43)
8) Technically complete all process orders which are fully processed (CORM).
9) Calculate Variance (KKS1)à (Relevant only if Standard cost is calculated).
10) Settle all process orders which are technically complete (CO88).
11) Close All settled Process Orders
12) Close MM period (Transaction Code: MMPV).
13) Carry out GR/IR clearing (F.13) transaction
14) Depreciation Run (AFAB) has been carried out for the month
15) Close FI Posting period after the month end closing activity is over.
Year end closing Activities
1) Calculate production work in progress on process orders which are not technically complete.
2) Carry out Assessment cycle for Cost Centers.
3) All month end closing Activities should be carried out.
4) Carry Forward Balances to next year
(With TC: F.16 we can carry forward the balance to next year.
With TC: OBH2 copy the number ranges to next year
Open next year periods by selecting the Posting Period Variant.
then test by posting the transaction in F-02)
We donu2019t use TC:OB52 for end year closing?
I have replied partly to your query. sorry for that. I have sent you the opening new year reords.
The closing procedure is as follows: -
1. Carry forward Vendor & Customer Balances: TC: F.07
2. Assets:
i) TC: OB 52 - for assets 2 years can be openned at a time.
ii) check which year is closed: TC: OAAQ
iii) Close the year 2004: TC: AJAB
Note: Unless depreciation for all the months is posted for all the assets you cannot close the year.
iv) Open year 2005: TC: AJRW
Hope the above clears your doubt.

Error : Posting period 003 2008 is not open

Hi Team,
When I m doing recording through transaction FBS1 it is giving me
error message "Posting period 003 2008 is not open". Can anyone tell me how to avoid this.
Thank u in advance.

Hi,

Regards Vassko!

Periods

suppose i not closing the periods in MMPV for material documents. the period are 03(march) and 04(april) for posting available.
and periods for accounting documents also open posting are 03(march) and 04( april)05 may.
when i posting grn in 31/03/2008 and invoice also in 31/03/2008. then whyone accounting documnet goes into year 2007 and other one goes into 2008.
1.acoount gain and revaluation account in 2008
2.other account i.e gr ir clearing and vendor credit goes to 2007 ie correct but why account 1 goes in 2008 ?
pl. suggest

Hi
Use Tcode-OB52, and enter open periods in 'From' and 'To 'periods column.
Say for instance you have already closed till period 5 and migrated/started using SAP from period 6, enter '6 'in FROM period and 12 in CLOSED period. This screen shows you the periods yet to close.
Thanks,
Usha.

When I am doing the PGI for the delivery i am getting error message

Hi All,
Could you please help to solve this issue,
When I am doing the Pgi for one Delivery I am receiving the error message "Posting only possible in periods 2008/03 and 2008/02 in company code", please help to provide the step to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Muralikrishna Nandigama.

Dear Friend,
Make sure you have sufficient quantity in the stocks
The open posting period for your company code is 2008/03 means "oct Nov december" and "Jul aug sep"
So the posting will be possible only in these periods.
Go to TC: OBYC and maintain the posting periods.
Open or close the periods.
You can as well use tC:OB52

Period posting errorin MIGO

Dear SAP Gurus,
While posting GR (MIGO), system is giving error msg: M7053. Posting only possible in period 2009/04 and 2009/03 in the company code.
I have maintained the following settings as follows:
1. In material master u2013 accounting view: current period is: 04 2009
2. Fiscal year variants (OB29) = V3 where calendar year check box is ticked, no of posting = 12 and no of special period = 4.
3. Assign fiscal year variant in OB37 to company code = V3
4. In Tcode: OMSY following values have defined
Year: 2009, Pe = 4, Fyr=2009, M = 3, Fyr= 2008, LM = 12, Abp = Checked
Also what values have to maintain in posting periods using Tcode: OB52
Still I am getting the same error. Please advice.
Regards,
Prashanth Pai

HI,
As per your Setting
Variant V3 ,means it is a Apr to Marc Calender.
So the period 3 and 4 means
the Current Period is 04--July and Prev period 03 means JUN.
Which are future Days.
I Believe some Problem might happened in the Period opening .
As per the Setting ,it is clear that you can post the GRN in JUN and JULY only means Future days..
and I believe whehter system allows. becoz current month is MAY so the Period is 02.
For Further Information go to the T code OB29.
Hope so it clarify
Regards

To post documents using FB01, first you must open posting periods, use transaction OB52, set years 2008 for document type you want to post or for all documents types,
then you can post documents using FB01.

Tcode OB52 uses

Hello, I am reviewing SAP access to OB52 - Update Accounting Period. My question is, once an accounting period is closed, can a user with this Tcode, and necessary auth objects, open up a closed period and post entries to that period?
What is OB52 typically used for? Thanks!

Try a search on OB52 (also in general as a good tip...)
Or start the transaction are read the applicationhelp...
F_BKPF_BUP might appear. Take a closer look at that one... as well as "FC31" as term used (or search term...)
Good luck,
Julius
