Inventory lists for annual report - closing date is middle of the week

[bjarne_breinbjerg]

We have accounting year July - June, why all our annual year reports is made by June 30.

Before making the inventory report we need to settle production orders etx. and during this process we often see errors in the system, if other users are blocking the production orders / working during the report creation. Because of this we normally block the SAP system for some hours to avoid errors in the reports for the annual report, but as we have users in China, Europe and USA on the same SAP system, some locations will be blocked for using SAP during normal working hours when June 30 is a normal working day.

How do you manage to close the inventory for annual report with correct values in all inventory reports and finance when the closing date is a normal working day and you still want everyone to work as normal ?

I hope someone has solved this issue.

Hi,

Do you mean to say that you need to block inventory posting say for China and Europe and USA should able to post for that inventory G/L as the inventory G/Ls are same ?

If yes, you can create an authorization object for that G/Ls and create a new role and restrict the posting.

If this is not the answer to your query please revert.

Hi Tejas

Hopefully i do not need to block anyone, as I want everyone to work as normal while I am making the reports to the auditors.

My concern is how to make correct inventory reports to the auditors, which can be 100% reconciled to the finance while everyone else are working as normal with full access to inventory, finance etc.

All companies with year end December 31 do normally not have this problem, as all companies are closed for new year celebration. But when having year end in the middle of a working week, it cost a lot of money to close down the system to people cannot do the normal work. So this we want to avoid.
