Authorizations in OB52 - Posting Periods

[former_member691409]

Dear all,

In our system we have many company codes, each one assigned in a specific posting period variant. We need to assign authorizations in the users of each company so that a user from one company will not be able to change the posting period of another company in transaction OB52. Can you suggest any solutions / best practices?

Thank you in advance,

Hello,

Please check the OSS note 1993365 - parallel opening of FI-periods based on posting period variant. This is quite recent note, that was previously mentioned a couple of times on SCN. This note allows to assign authorization to end-users per posting period variant. So, this should be what you need.

I've also encountered solution, when a custom transaction for OB52 was developed that restricted the maintenance of posting periods per company codes belonging to one country. It was quite simple solution, but I might be suitable only if you have centraclized accounting per country with one chief accountant responsible for opening and closing of posting periods.

Best regards,

Hi,

The authorization group column controls the users who can post to the specific period. We need to control users inside OB52
