Unable to create a billing document , have to change the posting date

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have performed the following steps:

1. I have created Customer

2. Created a material.

3. Linked the customer to the material

4. Post initial stock for the material.

5. Create a Sales/Order.

6. Displayed the sales order and recorded the scheduled delivery date.

7. Created the delivery for the sales order.

8. Transfer the stock from the warehouse management

9. And update the order.

While updating the order I selected post goods issue and it would not go ahead because the posting date is not there in the posting period. Where do I change the posting date. I could not find it anywhere. I did not enter the date anywhere.

Thank you,

Sandhya

Hello Sandhya

You can post goods issue for the delivery only if the relevant period is open.

This is done in transaction MMPV (Be careful using this transaction as if by mitsake close future

periods then you cannot reopen them)..The best thing is use the date field and put the start of this month and run for the company code...If this is production enviroment then let someone handling MM do it.....

OR if this is not production enviroment then you can run MMPV

OR Go to the delivery and in the item overview screen and you can change the planned/Actual goods issue date,try entering a previous month's dates untill system allows you to post.This way you can avoid MMPV

Dear Vikas,

Using MMPV I am only able to check a period or close a period. But I want to open a period. When I clicked check a period. I was told that period of June 06/ 2009 is not open and the period open is 12/ 2006. Now how do I open something. Your previos reply was very useful. Now how do I actually solve this problem.

Hello Sandhya

Here is how MMPV works.

Lets say I am at the end of the May month 05.31.2009 so lets say period corrresponding to this is 05/2009.

Now if you want to post data in June perios 06/2009 should be opened.

Here is what I will do in MMPV

Enter my company code

Instead of using periods I will use date which will be 06/01/2009 (mm/dd/yy format in my example)

Check radio button check and close period

Click on remaining checkboxes.

Execute

The effect of this will be that the previous periods will be closed and June will be opened.

In your case since no one has opened periods after 2006 so may be you will have to repeat this step for each month until you reach current period if that is the one in which you want to post goods issue.

Thanks
