Working on 2 Posting Periods at a time

Hi,
Is it possible to work on different posting periods at a time.My client closes his month in 10th of every month but the posting date will be in previous month
In this case he wants to work on existing month as well as previous month.
i have set the periods as 12 months
Thank you
regards

  • Posting Period Range variable - Using Offset

    Hi:
    I need to create queries for each quarter.  Without going through detail, some of my columns in my report I need to use the first two months of the quarter and some of the other columns I need to use the 3 months in each quarter.
    So for example:  We are right now in quarter 1; Jan, Feb, and Mar. Some columns I will be using a range of 1 to 2 and the rest I will be using a range of 1 to 3.  The same type of logic for the other 3 quarters.  I have a posting period variable (Characteristic value) and I was hoping that I was going to be able to use the offset option when I restricted my variable in each column that I only want period 1 and 2.  But when I run the query I don't get any results.  I know that the offset works with "fix" values but it seems not to work with a "range".
    I'm trying to stay way of creating the same queries for each quarter where the difference is only the posting period.
    Does anybody have any idea how I can accomplish this?  Has anybody ever had to do something like this?
    Your thoughts comments will be greatly appreciated!
    Regards,
    Helena

    Hi Arun:
    I know I can restrict the values that I want but I'm trying to avoid in having to create 4 queries..One per quarter.  I'm trying to see if I can just have 1 query and use a range variable which I have already defined as a characteristic value and it's a range.  I use the user exit to populate the initial values depending on the posting period at the time the query runs.  Right now the variable screen will show 1 on the from and a 3 on the to.
    The columns that need all three months are coming out fine in the report.  The issue that I'm encountering is the columns that I only need the two months in this case 1 and 2.  What I did here is still using the same range variable and restrict it with an offset of -1.  When the query  runs, this column comes up with no data.
    How can I get around this?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Posting Period is locked at the time of CO11

    I am facing an issue in CO11..system is giving mesaage that Posting period in close.
    I hav echecked FI & MM Period is open. What could be the reason...
    Vivek
    Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

    Hi
    Are you posting in previous period? If yes, then check in MMRV that back posting is allowed to previous period or not
    If you are posting in current period, and you have already ensured that FI/MM periods are open - Then check OKP1 for Actiivty locks

  • How to open and close posting period for both material  , n invoicing

    HI
    how to open and close posting period for both material  , n invoicing , AM NEW TO SD , SO ALL DOUBTS I DO POST IN HERE PLEASE DONT MIND

    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.

  • OPEN\CLOSE POSTING PERIOD

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working on a system with different company code, each company code has a posting period variant.
    My question is:
    Is there the possibility (by tcode 'OB52') that more users can, at the same time, open\close posting periods related to them posting period variant?
    In practice, my customer asks me:
    AT THE SAME TIME: - user x (company X) modifies posting periods of PPV '001' and user y (company Y) modifies posting periods of PPV '002'...
    Is it possible???
    thank you in advance..

    Hi Jason,
    Probably I may not recommend this. These are most critical activities. We do not the dependency of the tables. Meaning that the table could be linked to many other tables and fields in database. This may end up in data integrity issues.
    These are not the activities that we should do on a daily basis. Normally we open and close the period on a monthly basis and open this screen for few minutes or so. I would suggest first user can go and change and then he come back and the second person may change.
    Since this a very critical activity, anything wrong would impact all other modules, as the data is moving from all other modules to FI.
    Therefore, I would only recommend one by one to change OB52 OR give the authority to a centralized person in order to open and close the periods.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Posting period problem (very urgent)

    Hi all,
    I want to open a last posting period for particular user which i have handled through authorization group but at the same time i want to open a some G/L codes for other users.Please confirm is it possible to do both the things at the same time.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Manisha

    Hello Madhu
    I have tried to restrict certain G/L account group through Authorization group in OB52 but the system do not allow to post the document even in that G/L account group range and prompts the message that "posting period is closed". Actually it is clearly written in the help that authorization group can only work with '' in Account Type field. However, '' means all G/L account group not the restricted / specified range.
    Now how can I restrict certain users to post within certain G/L account group range in the previous posting period?? I hope you have understood my question.
    Urgent response is required.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Network confirmation cancell. thru CN29,when past posting period isnot open

    Hi Gurus,
    I have one query regarding netowrk confirmation. In our scnario, we are confirming network activity/element directly through CN27. Now after confirmation, due to some mistake we are trying to cancel that confimration through CN29 but system gives me error that "posting period is not open". As my network confirmation was done in the month of March'10 and i am trying to cancel it in April'10 that's why system is not allowing me to canel the confimration.
    Now my query is that how to cancel the network confimmation without opening past posting period. I looked into the configuration for network confirmations but there is no setting available to allow cacellation of network confirmation done in posting period which is not open now.
    however in CAT5, we have a option where we can enter cancellation posting date, and system allows to cancel time postring for that period also which is closed now (by putting cancellation posting date belonging to current posting period wihhc is open).
    regards
    Alok Mittal

    I have not verified the same on system, but  It's quite good observation. I think it's standard behavior  in system and could be possible, in CN29 you are not having option to put posting date, so, system is taking date of posting date on which it got posted for reversal. i.e. March 10, but period is closed for that date. so, system is giving you error that period is closed.
    Now coming to CAT5 if you give posting date of March 10, and try to reverse this document system will give you same error of period close. but if you give posting date of period April 10 system will allow to post. Because  current period is open. Reversal program works in SAP based on some logic for different documents. 
    If you wanted to check why system is behaving in that way in that case, compare  both documents ( original posted and reversal document posted in CAT5, check after posting reversal document is there any change done by system to original documents , I understand mostly system put reversal tick mark or  so, in original document and give reference document in new documents )
    Please check and revert back.
    With Regards

  • Block cancellation/creation of billing document on CLOSED posting period

    Hi Experts,
    Currently, user is allowed to cancel/create backdated billing document where period already closed, but it does not release to accounting automatically, due to the period has been closed.
    When account user found out that the accounting document is missing for the billing document, they have to re-open the period and manual release it to accounting, in order to generate the accounting document.
    Therefore, we need the billing document to be blocked for cancellation/creation on CLOSED posting period.
      Is there any settings in stardard SAP to block cancellation/creation of billing document on CLOSED posting period?
    would appreciate your inputs.

  • Currency Translation Type - Problem with Posting Period (0FISCPER3)

    Hi Gurus,
    We are currently working on an Implementation project in Integrated Planning (BI 7.0) and are having issues with Currency Conversion for each Month. The requirement is that Client will maintain Currency Exchange rates on a month on month basis for Exchange rate type P.
    In all the Info providers we have used Posting Period 0FISCPER3 as a Time characteristic and NOT 0FISCPER ( Fiscal Year / Period ). Eventhough 0FISCPER appears as a Standard time characteristic in all Info providers , we have not even considered the same in all the Aggregation levels.
    When we are now defining a Currency Translation Type thru RSCUR transaction , we select Variable Time Reference as "Beginning of Period" and the ONLY Standard Info Object available there is 0FISCPER and not the Posting Period 0FISCPER3.
    Is there anyway that we can include 0FISCPER3 also as a Standard Info Object !!!!! If not , is there any way out ..... Do we have to include 0FISCPER necessarily as a characteristic in the Aggregation Level ? Please advise.
    Regards,
    Venkat.

    Hi,
    In the IP modeler you can also use the FOX formula for conversion.
    CURC(<amount>, <d>, <exchange rate type>, <curr_from>, <curr_to>)
    This reads the RSCUR table, and you can write your own date from fiscal or calander. So it is most flexibel.
    Maybe this helps.

  • 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

  • Error with posting period

    Hi All,
    When I am trying to post goods issue
    for material 1 I get the following error log
    Posting only possible in periods 2002/11 and 2002/10 in company code .
    Then,I tried to update posting period using transaction code MMPV BUT INVAIN.
    Please help.
    Regards,

    Hi Neelam,
    1. Go to t.code OB52 there u change the period for your  Code for XXXX
    2.Then go to OX18- remove the Plant and Cocd assisngment(remove all the plants and pls make a note of those plant code later u may need it and save it.
    3.Go to OMSY,here u give the period from and to(whichever period u want to post n to)
    4.Now again go to OX18 (Plant and Cocd assisngment) here u assign the plant to cocd (all the plant which u have removed/disassigned in the step 2. then save it and come back.
    5.Now go to VL02N for Picking and PGI here u can be able to the same.
    Please check and revert back.. if it works
    Reason for doing above mentioned steps :
    As we can't initialize the company code in this case due to the existance of material valuation records, we are required to do this. This should be taken as work around solution for problem posted in this thread. Normally we come across these kind of problems in sand box or testing server environment.
    Once the system is in productive operation, we normally run the period
    closing program once a month at the beginning of a new period. This
    program sets the new period, making it possible to perform goods
    movements with reference to the new period.
    In real time this will be handled by MM consultants as they own this area
    Thanks and Regards,
    Guru

  • Posting Period cut off

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We have this situation, we are a manufacturing plant. Production is under shifting mode. We have two shifts A and C shift. A is 7AM-&7PM and C is 7PM-7AM.
    Our Accounting and sales group (GL posting) want this cut off aligned to production cutoff in SAP posting period.
    Would this be possible since when we do posting in SAP it captures system date and time? if possible, how is the procedures?
    I appreciate any  any comments and suggestion.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brodie2003

    Dear Nikhil,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/90/ba6609446711d189420000e829fbbd/content.htm
    That a cutoff period is defined to protect the data of the previous period from being overwritten.
    The cutoff period divides the life cycle of the production order into open and closed periods.
    The work in process calculated up to the cutoff period is not changed the next time WIP is calculated.
    The work in process calculated for later periods is overwritten by the current WIP calculation.
    To prevent data that has already been posted from being changed, you usually define the cutoff period as the period preceding the results analysis period.
    For a product cost collector, work in process is calculated in May, June, and July. The valuation for July should not change the work in process for May and June.
    You set the cutoff period to period 06 and calculate work in process for results analysis period 07.
    Hope this will help.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • How to extend Posting period ??

    Dear All,
    My client wants us to extend the posting period from jan to next year's march, it means he wants the posting period more then a year,is it possible in SAP b1????

    hello Angranshu...
    Yes you can make a posting period extend beyond the year BUT there is a trick to it...
    Create a posting period with code and name of  "15 Months", Sub Periods of "Year".  First time through put in the Post, Due, and Doc Dates of 01/01/2010 to 12/31/2010 and then "Add".
    Then open up the posting period again and change all of the dates to 03/31/2011, enter "Update" and the dates will take...
    I just did this in test system and it worked fine...
    Hope that helps - Zal

  • 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!

  • Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

    Dear Experts,
    My client wants to close the posting period of the previous month. 
    First I went to transaction OB52 to define an entry From Per. 1 2008 To Per. 12 2009 to open all the posting period for the year.  But when the time passes, do I have to manually change the From Per. back to the current month (e.g From Per.1 2008 changed to From Per. 2 2008 and so on)
    If this is the case, is there any way to make this a automatic function to do this.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You define posting periods in your fiscal year variants. You can open and close these posting periods for posting. As many periods as you require can be open for posting simultaneously. Special periods can be open for closing postings during the period-end closing.
    You have the following options for opening and closing posting periods:
    - Posting Period Variants: You can specify which company codes are open for posting in a posting period variant. Posting period variants are cross-company code and you have to assign them to your company codes.
    - Account Type: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account type. This means that for a specific posting period, postings can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts.
    - Account Interval: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account intervals. This means that you only open a posting period for posting to a specific account.
    Path for making the settings for opening and closing posting periods:
    Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Posting Periods
    For detailed example for opening and closing posting periods please refer the link below:
