Hi

One way you can do is, if you ensure that no postings were done for the open period.

Lock your PRD system for using by all users

De-link all your plants to your Company code to which you have opened excess periods (OX18 company code plant assignment)

Change to current period in OMSY to your company code

Then link again your plants to your company code (OX18)

Unlock your PRD system for using by users as normal

Dear Fazalansari,

go to T.Code [OB52], this error of posting period doesn't has relation to MM Posting period as you trying to do MIRO and the posting error comes, anyways there are 2 posting period in SAP FI and MM, so far your FI period need to be opened for the required month.

Hope my point is clear

Dear there two periods one of MM and other is of accounting. For MM period you can not go back and open previous period but in accounting it can be controlable. for MM period you can check through OMSY.

Hi,

It is a difficult task. But go through the links:

you can change by changing fields with the help of ABAPer through SE16N and table MARV you can change the current and last peroid whichever you want.

In MM use tc MMPV and move foorward one month at a time.

Also need to ensure FI periods set up using tx someone else will tell you soon. > S_ALR_87003642
