Hi,

You can remove the assignment from cc to plant and change OMSY current period. After that you can assigne plant to cc as previous, Here you need to check the valuation grouping code for that plant in automatic account determination. Please let me know conform...

Hi,

It is possible to re-open a previously closed period. However, it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous period could be affected.

In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.If there has already been postings after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.

If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.

Steps are as below;

Go to Transaction Code SE38

Enter program name RMMMINIT

Execute or press F8 function button

Enter your company code (From and To)

Enter relevant date: Say 01/08/2008 for Aug. 2008 month to be opened as of now( if fiscal period is K4)

That means, user can post for the month of July 2008 as well as Aug. 2008( if fiscal period is K4)

Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.

As per SAP Notes 487381 ( If the periods are opened in advance in mmpv to again change it to current period the following process should be follow ), Go to Tcode MMPI, then go to menu bar and select system -> user profile->owndata.In that screen , under the parameters tab enter MMPI_READ_NOTE in Parameter ID field and enter, then under short description you will get Initialise period. Next Save.

Again go to MMPI enter company code, period and year and execute.

You can follow these steps, only try if ur using SANDBOX, NOT FOR PRODUCTION(do not try in production):

If u do bellow steps, all assignment of G/L accounts in OBYC will be deleted, agian u have to assign

1. USEOX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.

2. USEOMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.

3.USEOX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.
