posting period OMSY

[Former Member]

Hi, experts,

I am trying to set posting period for newly created company code. However i do not know how to use the transaction. How can I input the "Fiscal year of last period of previous year"? It is gray and I can not type anything as input.

Best regards,

Fan

Hi Jürgen,

I changed it to 2009.12. The first warning msg does not show up, but the second warning msg still remains.

looks like you did not Maintain Fiscal Year Variant or not assign a variant to your company code.

this is in IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year > Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year)

this is in IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year > Assign Company Code to a Fiscal Year Variant

Hi Jürgen,

it is me again:-). Because this is a new SAP system and the period starts from 1998.02. When I enter the current fiscal year: 1998.03 and press enter. There will be the first warning message saying that "1998 is not the current calendar year". I ignore it and press enter again, there will be another warning message saying that "period end(00.00.0000) is in the past". I can save this setting. However, when I call MB1C, there is problem with the posting date.

Best regards,

we dont have 1998, why do you enter it there?

enter the current period if you start today, enter 2009 12

Hi,

thank you for your replies.

I did press the "enter" to let the system to decide the it. But the system determines it as "00.00.0000", so that I still have problem later. Do you have any idea why this happens?

OMSY does not have dates, it just has periods.

In what transaction are you when you see 00.00.0000 ?

Fan,

If you initialize the first period in the OMSY TCode in your development client (enter current Year and Period) and click the green check or <Enter> key, the greyed out previous periods are automatically filled in by the system. This works when starting out a new company code.

Hi,

You may initialize your MM period for the new company with previous using MMPI t-code.

But you must be aware the consequences according to the following SAP Notes
