REOPEN THE CLOSED PERIOD

[Former Member]

Hello Sir/Madam,

I have already closed the previous period i.e. Dec-2010 and opened the current period i.e. Jan-2011. But I have some good posting to do in the month of October-2010.

Then how can I reopen the period for October month so that my requirement will be fulfilled.

Please suggest the process how to solve the problem. What customization have I to do ?

Regards,

Sandip

hi

there might be some inconsistency in the system ,search on net for the same

If you want to open previous period for reversal entry or additional entry

The following are steps for Opening previous period in MM :

1. Go to TCode SU01 (see OSS NOTES 487381)

2. Choose "change" tab with your loging Name

3. Choose "Parameter" tab

give Parameters MMPI_READ_NOTE with date format as YYYYMMDD

(say today 20071201)

4. SAVE.

5. Go to T-code MMPI

6. open the old periods which you want to post into,

Note :

the period opening will be valid for only for the particular day only.

7. Complete the posting you want to reverse or add

8. Go to MMPV to close the periods

Note :

If we enter the date or month in MMPV means we are opening that date or month by closing previous date or month

(Never use MMPV without completing the transaction in previous month)

Hello Sandip,

It is possible to reopen a previously closed period. However, it isn't

advisable to do because the valuation data of the previous period could

get affected. If you decide to proceed with the process, please review

the documentation of program RMMMINIT (To see this documentation, please

do the following: SE38, RMMMINIT, and select the documentation button

and display).

Take into account the documentation of the program RMMMINIT:

"Caution

Be careful if the period used for initialization precedes the current

period in the control record for the company code since this can result

in an inconsistency between goods movements and material master segments

This is because the stock information in the material master segments is

assigned to the new current period in this case."

Please also review the note 70545 regarding the initialization

process. Although this note is NOT valid for your release, it provides

good information on the use of initialization for correction purposes.

Additionally, please review the note 369637 in this regard as well.

PLEASE FIRST PERFORM THIS IN A TEST/DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRIOR TO MOVING

TO PRODUCTION AS YOUR VALUATION DATA FROM PREVIOUS PERIOD WILL BE

AFFECTED. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can move it

to production.

Also see the SAP On-line documentation (http://help.sap.com):

Logistics - General (LO)

-> Logistics Basic Data (LO-MD)

-> Material Master (LO-MD-MM)

-> Period closing

In addition, as you know, please check the following note as well:

487381 - RMMMINIT: Protection against unintentionial execution

I hope this information helps you.

Hi ,

As the period is not too far hence you can do the same by MMPV - MMRV and in finance OB52 .

Kindly go through the note 487381 , before initialising any MM period .

Hi Sandip,

There is 1 way to reopen closed periods for postings by using transaction code MMPI.

However, this need to be done in situation where there is NO other alternative for document posting. You have to adhere to all GUIDELINES mentioned by SAP before & while using - executing MMPI. Suggest you discuss this option with your senior or experienced MM consultant - Lead also befiorehand.

Do let me know if you got ur problem resolved with it.

Dear Sandhip,

Its not possible to reopen a closed period in standard way and its not advisable to do .

But we can do it by

1. Deassign the Plants from your company code

2. Go to OMSY and change the periods....

3. Assign the Plants to your company code again..

4. Go to OMWD and correct the valuation grouping code

for your plants,...

Warning: Use, only in Sand box Server......

As accounts are going to be affected.... .......
