Unable to post GR due to Current Period settings in Material Master

[chaitanya_naravane]

Greetings !

While posting GR with reference to Purchase Order, I am getting following error

"Posting only possible in periods 2006/12 and 2006/11 in company code 1000.

Accounting 1 view of Material master shows Current Period is 12 2006.

Can you please guide me step by step on actions I need to take to resolve this?

Hi,

I hope this exercise you are doing in IDs or test client.If yes then you can only post the GR in between 1-Feb-2007 to 31-March-2007 date.

to post the GR in the current period(2011/02) i.e in the May-2011 you have to close the periods from 2006/12 to 2011/01 through MMPV transaction for the particular company code.

After executing this activity for the particular company code,now check in MMRV:

It will show Current period.........02..2011

Previous Period......01..2011

To allow posting for the previous period you may check on the checkbox"Allow posting to previous period"

Hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Bijay,

I am doing this exercise in IDES.

Can you guide (step by step) how to close periods from 2006/12 to 2011/1.

Does 1 in above statement means January (1st month of the year)?

Since we are in May, should we not close the period untill April 2011? It would be 2011/04?

Further, in T code: MMPV, following entries need to be made. Can you guide what exactly need to be filled in?

Below is the screen one gets after initiating MMPV.

From Company code.......

To Company code.........

Enter next period (including fiscal year) or a relevant date (but not both)

Period...........

Fiscal year.......

or

Date....

There are 3 radio buttons. Which one to select?

Check and close period

Check period only

Close period only

After entering all the details, and executing, what is to be expected? By executing, will the period will be closed in this 1 step?

Hi,

whenever we are talking about period means its the fiscal year not the calender year.Hence to close 2006/12 period means you are closing for March-2007 of the calender.

Closing of the periods will be done one by one from 2006/12 to 2011/2(April-2011) through MMPV.

Run Tcode-MMPV.

Put the required Company code.Put Period=2007/1 to close 2006/12.And select on radio button "Check & close period" and then execute the same.Now run MMRV to check the current period for that particular compant code.It will show thae current period=2007/1.

Now repeat the same till you reach 2011/2 as the previous period in MMRV.

Hope this will solve your query.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Bijay,

Is there any way to see in the system - what is the fiscal year cycle that a certain company code is following (April to March or October to September or January to December etc)?

I tried to execute MMPV with following data

From Company code ...1000

To Company code .......1000

Period.............1

Fiscal year.... 2007

Selected Radio button for "Check and Close period"

Execute

However, system is giving warning message "The specified year 2007 is not the current calendar year"

After clicking "Execute" again, system is giving same message and not taking any further action.

Even though it is a warning message (and not a error message), same message appears.

Can you guide?

Hello Bijay,

Thanks for being patient with me.

I think, I could solve half of the problem. I could close the period till 4 2011.

Trick was - in MMPV, after clicking Execute button, system needed to click Enter (Green tick) button. This closed the period.

Now, here is rest of the 1/2 unsolved problem -

In my system, current period is 05 2011.

I tried to enter GR and system gave following error -

"Posting period 005 2011 is not open"

What needs to be done so as to open period 05 2011?

Can you check in MMRV against company code what is the period are you seeing.If not 5 period open then you need to close period 04.It seems in your reply you alredy done it please check one more time and note check OB52 alos the periods are opened or not.

Hi,

If you want to post the GR in current Month i.e may 2011 then the period should be 02..2011 not 05...2011.You have to roll back to 02 ..2011.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Bijay,

I executed MMRV and here is info

Current period ...................05 2011

Previous period .................04 2011

Last period in prev year.....12 2010

How to roll back to 02 2011?

I assume that you are referring to calender month/year of 05 2011 is equivalent to fiscal month/year of 02 2011.

How to see in the system that fiscal year starts indeed in April?

After rolling back to 02 2011, will the process be complete or do I need to execute OB52?

Dear Bijay,

My problem is solved. Thanks a lot for step by step guidance. Appreciate it.

Although, the problem is resolved, I am still seeking information on following. Will you be able to help?

My current period (in MM03) is 05 2011. It means that fiscal year period is 05 2011 right? Today, we are into May - 5th month of 2011.

Does it mean that fiscal year and calender year are same in specific case of my test system? Please confim.

first please close the previous period MMPV.

then open the new period OB52 if necessary.

please note, period close must one by one.

Please check the current period in MMRV.As per the error message described here the current period shows 2010/12 for ur company code but your GRN posting date is not in 2010/12.you can post the GRN in follwing ways.

1)you can change the GRN posting date to back date i.e any date in period 2010/12 if back posting is allowed for ur company code.to check it please use Txn MMRV.

2)You can close the old period and open new period through Txn MMPV one by one and open the current period 2011/02 so that you will be able to post the GRN in current date.

Hi

your current period is 12 2006.

its correct,In MM we have to close last period and open next period and only two period can open in MM and once closed period we cannot reopen it ( possible but never suggest),material master always shows current period

now you are in 2011 period ,if you want to do GRN enter 1-12-2006 or 1-3-2006 and do GRN system may accept it

TO VIew current period in mm t-cdoe MMRV

to close MM perios t-code -MMPV

Even you can search in forum how to close and open MM period you will get lots of things to guide
