Year End Media Cleanup - What to do?

Hi All,
My drives are too full and it's time for me to free up some drive space for the upcoming year.
I admit that I am a bit of a pack rat when it comes to keeping my projects intact on my system. But enough is enough.
My plan is to master to tape.... those final timelines that I didn't get around to this year.
But there are times when a client will decide that they want their video on their website and I'm not sure what type of "master" I should keep on my system for such purposes.
I've read both good and bad discussions about media manager and fearing the worst of repercussions, I usually delete my media manually.
I admit that I'm not the most organized of editors out there. Your "housekeeping" suggestions are most welcome.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the helpful tips. I am going to export a split track version as well. I assume that I can bring this quicktime file back in to FCP with no difficulty.
Corporate clients can be very unpredictable...especially when key personnel change with time. At least, it's easier to make changes in the non-linear realm. Those of you from the days of linear editing will most certainly remember the challenges.
Good tip on assigning reel names to non-tape elements. I never thought of that and it makes sense.
I will venture to try the media manager, once I feel confident that my final sequences are protected. Still scares me a little but nothing ventured....nothing gained. Is there a simple way to test the integrity of a project, as you suggested?
Happy New Year.
Chris

you go live on the SAP payroll system in the middle of a financial year, you have an option to transfer your legacy data into the SAP payroll system.
The system provides the schema INLK for transferring your legacy data. For this purpose, you need to perform the following IMG activities:
Define the payroll periods for which you want to transfer the legacy data. For more information, refer to the IMG under Payroll India -> Legacy Data Transfer -> Define Periods for Import
Define the type of data you want to import. For more information refer to the IMG under Payroll India -> Legacy Data Transfer -> Define Pay Elements for Import
Upon execution along with the payroll driver, the schema INLK formats the information defined in the above tables as payroll results and stores the values in the database table PCL2.
For more information on the Legacy Data Transfer functionality, refer to OSS note number 506128.

Issue in year end closing

Hi
I have an issue in year end closing. What would be effect if i do not clear the open items in GR/IR Account as part of year end acitivity. The balance in my GR/IR Account is zero as of my balance sheet date.
What would happen if i run the balance carry forward program?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

This program will reclassify the entries for the Balance sheet reporting. Since your balance is zero there should not be any impact on the reporting side. Whether you run this program or not it will not have any impact on the balance carry forward program. Since these entries will get reversed at the beginning of the next period in any case.
The config setting will be in OBYP
The following config document may help you in better understanding.
Define Adjustment Accounts for GR/IR Clearing
The goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account is posted to whenever you receive goods that have not been invoiced yet or whenever you receive invoices for goods that have not been delivered yet.
In this activity you define the numbers of the adjustment and target accounts for the automatic postings for the GR/IR clearing account.
Transfer postings have to be made at the balance sheet date to reflect the goods invoiced but not delivered and the goods delivered but not invoiced. The program that analyzes the GR/IR clearing account adjustments this account by posting any outstanding amounts to an adjustment account. It makes the offsetting entry to the account for goods delivered but not invoiced or to the account for goods invoiced but not delivered (target account).

Turkey: year end close RFSUMB00 / fiscal year variant

Hello guys,
I am wondering if anyone of you have had this requirement before.
Running RFSUMB00 on a Turkish company code will blow away the balances from all G/L accounts so that each individual account has a balance of 0.
Questions:
1. How do you manage revenue accounts (cost element categories 11 and 12). A pure cost centre is not enough as CO account assignment. You can switch off error message KI 166 (so that no COPA documents are then created), but is this really wanted?
2. If each individual account has a balance of 0 at year end, how to create a B/S and P/L for that year? Especially, for previous years? The only thing that comes to my mind is using special periods (13 to 16), but.... -->
3. ...in our system, the FI fiscal year variant is not K4, but a custom variant. The fiscal year (of the group) does not end on 31st December. I have a small FI-SL application running in the background (with K4 assigned there), and I could change the FI-SL period to 13 during the document transfer easily, but I ask myself why I do not post all of these funny closing documents directly in FI-SL then? This would save me from the usage of dummy assets/customers/vendors and the continous changes made to the "automatic postings only" flag (SKB1-XINTB).
Turkey experts, any hints welcome. What are your best practices?
Thank you,
Csaba

Yes frank,
GL closing should be carried only after all the sub ledgers are closed
for asset closing
you should open the new fiscal year first (AJRW) and then close the existing fiscal year. (AJAB)
otherwise FI-AA and Fi-GL may not reconcile (use tcode ABST2 to check this)

Queries regarding Year End Closing Activity

Hi Experts/Moderator,
I need solution to my queries regarding Year End Closing Activity?
1. How can we post adjustment entries to GL/AR/AP/BANK/ASSET accounts in the previous FYu20192008 in Apr/May/Jun/Julyu20192009 using Special Posting Periods, if already balances are carrying forwarded to next FY 2009? What effects on the Opening Balances already carry forwarded?
2. Can we run the Asset Depreciation for the previous FY 2008 in Apr/May/Jun/Julyu20192009 using Special Posting Periods, if already balances are carrying forwarded to next FY 2009? What effects on the Opening Balances already carry forwarded?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can carryforward the balance of GL, AP & AR. System is automatic updated the balance in current fiscal year if you pass the adjustment entries in previous fiscal year 2008 using special period. You can also run the deperciation.

Program RFSUMB00 year end closing in Italy.

Hello All,
I am setting up all the configurations for year end closing in Italy using program RFSUMB00. Here i need some clarification on the below points.
1. dummy vendor / customer master needs to be created for each recon account. here i would like to know whtr we need to create a dummy recon account for dummy vendor / custome? if no, how would postings be happen.?
2. we need b/s opening and closing accounts for this prog. I would like to know wht entries will happen at the year end and whtr all b/s closing postings will happen to same account?

Hi,
I hope dummy accounts are not required. Please try as below. For balance sheet closing and opening accounts you can use technical accounts which we use for initial balance uploading. This program will generate one closing entry and one opening entry with the help of technical account what I have mentioned so that the balances will become ZERO in previous FY.
Closing entry happens in previous fiscal year and opening entry will posted in current FY.
Please go for FAGL_IT_02 - Italy (New). Do not go for F_IT_01 - Italy. There are some prerequisites before executing this program.
Please close normal periods of previous fiscal year and ensure that special periods of previous fiscal year are opened. Means special periods should be available for postings.
Closing postings should happen in special periods. Try with 14th period.
I suggest to run this program only in L1 ledger as this only legal requirement.
Below is for your reference where July to June Fiscal year is maintained.
P&L Account                              550016 (result of PNL account)
Net Result Account                     101001 (Retained earning account)
Balance Sheet Account- Closing 800005 (Technical account)
Balance Sheet Account- Opening 800005 (Technical account)
Parameters for closing postings:
Document Type                   UE
Posting Date                       30.06.2013
Document Date                   30.06.2013
Posting Period                     14
Parameters for opening postings:
Document Type                   UE
Posting Date                        01.07.2013
Document Date                    01.07.2013
Posting Period                     1
Try with above inputs. I hope it will resolve your issue. I have resolved in the same way in our project for Turkey.

Cannot execute year-end closing in IDES R/3 4.71

Hi Gurus,
I am working with IDES R/3 4.71.
since the current fiscal year in system in 2003, i try to change the fiscal year to 2004, then 2005, ..., finally I wish to get fiscal year 2009.
during the procedure, i need to post AA depreciation for each period of 2003. I have done that successfully with AFAB. then I also successed with Change Fiscal Year to 2004. now I need to execute year-end closing for 2003. but the system reports errors.
error message like below:
=========================================================
Asset balance sheet values not completely posted
Message no. AU075
Diagnosis
In company code 1000, which is to be closed, APC values have not been posted to Financial Accounting for all relevant depreciation areas.
Depreciation area 03, at least, is set up for periodic posting of APC values.
The year-end closing checks if documents were posted that have an entry date after the last run of the program for periodic posting of APC values. If such documents are found, the system issues this message.
Procedure
Check which depreciation areas are supposed to post APC values periodically to Financial Accounting according to their Customizing definitions (indicator: "Post assets periodically in General Ledger")
See the Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger IMG activity.
Start the program for posting APC values. In the Asset Accounting main menu, choose Periodic processing . Start this program in update mode, regardless of whether or not documents are displayed in test mode, or if a message appears stating that there are no documents to be posted.
Start APC Posting Program
==================================
I didn't change the depreciation area provided by IDES group.
anybody knows what's wrong?
many thanks!
George

George,
The long text seems to be self-explanatory. IDES comes with pre-configured stuff. So for sake of training they may have designated some depreciation areas as periodic posting. Please follow the instructions in the message and try to resolve it.
If I were you:
a) I would find out the chart of depreciation for the company code you are trying to do a fiscal year close.
b) Then go to the configuration and see the definition of each depreciation area.
c) For those which have periodic posting of depreciation, run the corresponding program as instructed in the long text.
Regards,
Vishal.
