[Former Member]

Hi Experts...

I have a problem with a Date in transaction Code VA01.

Here we can able to setup different billing dates in Test run.

But in actual posting periods.... it is not working.

i can go to an explaination by taking the realtime scenario..

Bill generated on 30.10.2007

The bill to be posted on 16.06.2008.

While posting on 16.06.2008 it is throwing an error that ""Posting periods Not open""

what should i do to post the bill.

Kindly advice.

Hi,

I will suggest you to contact MM guys to open required posting period.

Or you can do it by yourself using ob52 and MMPV

Aslo you can use t code mmrv to re-open previous period.

you can control period by GL number range or company code or you using both.

thanks,

Suraj

Prasad,

You are trying to post in future period around 6 months latter.

I have never seen such requirement and no one accepts to open the future periods in production environment.

I suggest to check the requirement and if you need to post in the already closed or un-opened periods u can use OB52 and MMPV tcodes as explained by our friends.

Dear Prasad,

It can be done by opening the period through OB52, though it requires proper authorization.

Please explain what is the business requirement of such a delayed posting.

Hello,

This seems to be an issue with FI posting period closing. It would be wise to take FI consultants help on this.

follow this too....

Define the posting company code variant in SM30 - V_T010O

Assign the company code variant in SM30 - V_001_R

Maintain the open and close posting period with OB52

Thanks,

hello, friend.

june 2008 in your system has already been closed. you must coordinate with your FI consultant to re-open the period by using MMPV or an equivalent t-code.
