hi...

we have closed the posting period for the month of 01-02(april-may) and open the 03-04(june-july)...

but now we want to open the previous posting period i.e. 01-02(april-may) again...so how could we do this..

one solution i have got is that...

1. go to OX18 delete all the assignment for that company code and plant.

2. go to OMSY and change the posting period..

3. go to OX18 and reassign the plant and company code again...

this is the right method to do that..?

will there be any -ive implications if I open the previous period by this procedure..?

or suggest me some other way to do that...

Thanks in advance

Hi

You can open Closed MM periods but be careful because SAP does recommend opening closed MM periods.

Steps are :

1) Tcode MMPI --from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field.

Try to remove assignment of plants from company code.

Now Go to -


T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.

Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct preriod is open thru T-Code - MMRV

Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.

Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (or any other Material Type used by your company)

Then click on the quantity and value update.

Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update

Even check this link...

This will definitely reslove your problem.

Thanking you.

This is not correct solution and I am not agree with this solution You have to apply simply sap not instruction to reopen MM period ,read this not and follow intrusion

In this note there is not mentioned any where to delete assignment for that company code and plant

Please read SAP notes 487381

By going back to previous month beyond one is not a good business practice.

SAP had given an option to post for one previous month so that there would not be any discontinuity in your business.

The impact of the process you follow would be you need to enter all the data again.

Hi,

Please try with MMRV-Allow postings in back period. Actually system will alllow you to post the documwnts at back period for one month. If you are not able to post, close the current period in MMPV and open the desired period in MMPV. Thanking you.

Hi,

By doing so you might loose the present period data and its not the right way to go with and its always better opting the back postings which makes it simple for you and not to worry about missed out data in the last period.And for the present issue use MMPI tcode to initialise the period it might help you out.

Thanks
