Logic of open cand close posting periods

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

Pls tell me the logic involved in OB52 Open and close posting periods

Am giving Account type + only in settings then as per my knowledge system should not ask for the K or D separately to map in the settings

Even now system is asking Account type K period 1 2009 is not opened.

am thinking if i give Account type + in settings i need not map for other account types

Pls guide me

Thanks in advacne

Hi,

That's totally dependent on your business requirements (accountant); there are no strict rules how to manage the open periods.

1. special periods are meant for FI, but that does not mean SD documents cannot flow. You will find a Auth Grp column end of OB52 screen. Please read help

If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular posting period, proceed as follows:

Add the posting period authorization (authorization object F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an authorization group (e.g. '0001').

Enter the account type '+' for the posting period variant to which the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g. '0001') in the last column.

Any user (FI or SD) who has access to this object in User master record (via a Security Role) can post.

2. + is minimal entry and it has to go with any one other account type.

Hope this clarifies.

Rgds.

Hi

Thanks for information

Let me know one more thing to close the issue

You are saying any user (SD or MM ) can also can post in special periods.

If I open with Account type + ,A and S then I hope this is allows only to FI users.

MM,SD and other users can not post into this special periods.

Pls guide me

Thanks in advance

Check that you have assigned your posting period variant properly to the appropriate company code.

Also, make sure that you do not have a variant for "K" which has period values that conflict with "+"

Dear Sneha,

You have probably determined wrong your settings. Could you check if they are created as bellow (just in case you only ment to have january open):

Variant | T | From acc. | To acc. | From period | F.Year | To Period | Fiscal Year |

XXXX | + | "blank" | "Blank" | 01 | 2009 | 01 | 2009 |

I hope this information helps. Regards,

HI

Same I maintained

But system is asking for Acctount type D

Scenario is we are Reversing Billing documents in the closed period

Actual Billing happend on 10-12-08

Same document we trying to reverse

Same time Spl period 13 is opened for the account type +

Then system triggering message period 13 2008 Account type is D is not opened.

Then we opened the same finally got posted in period 13

Here my doubts are

1. am thinking that special period postings are only available to FI then why SD able to post in period 13

2. If i map Account type + which is available all accounts types then why shud i map other account types

Pls guide me

Thanks

Sneha
