Periods Closed as Default instead of Peiord Open as Default

[dan_sullivan]

It is the default in BCS monitor that the period is open and must be manually closed. However, for ECC Financials just the oposite is typically the case. In the implementation of BCS we would like to set the default to have all periods closed with the opening of a period to be administered manually.

Has anyone found a way to acomplish this or something similar?

Hello Dan,

The Fiscal Period is closed by default is a part of Enhancement Package 2 functionality, which we already use. I can provide more information, if you need.

Hi Dan,

Periods in BCS is open by default. There is nothing like open period process.

However if you want to close the default period and open only as you need, should not be a problem.

But not sure why SAP has delivered the product with this feature. Does it serve some specific purpose not sure.

Thank you for the reply, but it still unclear to me how to close all periods wthout having to do so manually, which is not the desired approach.
