Dear Friends,

I am not able to understand the term given in the sap book "As many periods can be open simultaneously. However, only two period intervals can be open at the same"

Can anyone please understand me

- - how many periods can open at a time example 12 months complete.

- - What is the meaning of period intervals ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mahendra Dev

In posting periods, you have 12 normal periods and 4 special periods normally.

If you want you can keep all these periods open at the same time or you can open only a specific period say period 03 to period 04 at a time (one interval)

However, you cannot make twoo period intervals (say period 03 to period 04 & period 08 to period 09) at the same time.

Thanks Micheal,

I can clear my doubt.

Please let me know which interval is for generic period(first two period) and which one is for Special Period is assigned in the chart.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

There is no segregation as such. In case you are using Authorisation groups, then the first interval would be applicable to the Authorisation group. If not, both intervals can be used for general purposes as mentioned in the example.

Hi Mahendra,

It means that you can have any number of periods open at a time but only 2 different period ranges at any point of time.

Example 1,

you can have 2 period ranges (intervals) open at a time -

Range : 11/2008 to 12/2008 and 04/2009 to 05/2009

here you have totally 4 periods opened.

Example 2

Range: 01/2008 to 12/2008 and 02/2009 to 05/2009

No. of Periods open - 16 periods

Regards,

Mike
