Hi,

Read Note 487381 - RMMMINIT: Protection against unintentionial execution, and related notes. It's useful to understand a lot of implications.

Hi,

This is how you need to do it.

Go to Tx: OMSY or MMRV & check the current period against your company code.

Theory behind Posting Periods in SAP

Posting periods are calculated using a Config: Setting called u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D attached to the Company code. u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D is the deciding factor for the company code, whether to follow the calendar year or any other calculation method.

Eg: Fiscal year can be start from July & goes to the next year June for some companies.

Therefore what you see in the OMSY might not be the actual calendar month that SAP is referring.

(Eg: 01 means Jan, 02 means Feb, 03 means March, etc is not always the case)

So first you have to check the Fiscal Year attached to your company code.

Go to below path to check Fiscal Year attached to your company code.

IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> GIobaI Parameters for Company Code -> Enter GIobaI Parameters ->

Go in to your company & Check the Fiscal Year Variant field. There you can identify whether it equals to the calendar year or not. If its not clear, take that Fiscal year variant 7 go to below IMG path;

IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> FiscaI Year and Posting Periods -> Maintain FiscaI Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year)

Go in to the node.

Select the Fiscal year & double click on Periods node.

If Fiscal Year is same as calendar year, then you should have that u201CCalendar Yru201D tick box ticked.

Now check what's the SAP Fiscal month relevant to your calendar month.

The go to MMPV & open that relevant Fiscal month accordingly.

Then you should be able to post.

Hope this helps you !

Hi Kanna,

Check whether u have closed the the posting period according to the financial year... if it is March to april, then it should be close the 7th period.

Hi,

If you get the POSTING PERIOD issue while doing PGI, then you have to check the posting periods from MM and FI perspective

MMPV is MM perspective and you already did

Now check the POSTING PERIODS for your VARIANT in the transaction code OB52.

Hope after opening the period, the issue will be resolved.

thanks,
