Posting to G/L account in Next period & Opening balances

[Former Member]

We need to post to G/L accounts for new Company code

1) During month of February , Can we post to GL accounts(FB50) with Posting date in January? --> if we have Period 1,2008 open in OB52 ( FROM Period 1,2008 TO Period 2,2008)

2) Is there a way that Opening balances can be posted to the G/L account other than using FB50/F-02. There are only 10 G/L accounts ,so I don't want to do it programmatically.

Please reply at the earliest.

Thanks

HI Manisha

I will answer your question one by one.

The answer for the first question is, YEs you can have any many periods open as you wish. This you can do in T.Code OB52. In OB52 , You have to give from which period to which period it should be open.

Now coming to the second question. i don't think there is any other way to upload the balanace.

If it helps, plz assign points.

However my first question is still not answered.

In February, can I post to G/L accounts with January date ?

(period 1/Jan-being open in OB52).

Hi,

If January (Period 01) is open in OB52, you can post the GL Account with January Date in February.
