[Former Member]

Hi,

I am a new to SAP.

I am testing creating sales order. While posting Goods Issue, I am getting error " Posting only possible in periods 2006/12 and 2006/11 in company code 1000"

I searched and got solutions in SDN- Forum as well as SAP best practice buidling blocks and tried but still the same error is appearing.

I tried the following:

1) Transaction code - OMSY - The details for company code 1000 is:

Year-Period-Fin Year - Period-Fin Year-LM

2006-12 -2006 - 11 -2005 -12

I modify this to Year to 2011- Period to 1-other fields not possible to modify and save, but the changes does not reflect when we open this screen again. It displsys old date.

2) Then I tried Transaction code - MMPV -

I enter the follwoing details

From Company code -1000

To Comnpany code -1000

Period

Year - I tried to enter from 01/2005 to 12/2010 and click execute, i am getting error mesasage that these are not current year.

If i enter 01/2011, it is going to next log page but with errror message that 01/2011 is not current year and 12/2006 is current year.

3) Then I tried - SPRO - Financial Accounting (NEW) ® Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Ledgers ® Fiscal Year and Posting Periods ® Posting Periods ® Open and Close Posting Periods

and entered the follwing data and save.

Var. A To account From per. 1 Year To period Year From per. 2 Year To period Year

1000 + 1 2000 12 2011 12 2000 16 2011

1000 A zzzzzzzzzz 1 2000 12 2011 12 2000 16 2011

1000 D zzzzzzzzzz 1 2000 12 2011 12 2000 16 2011

1000 K zzzzzzzzzz 1 2000 12 2011 12 2000 16 2011

1000 M zzzzzzzzzz 1 2000 12 2011 12 2000 16 2011

1000 S zzzzzzzzzz 1 2000 12 2011 12 2000 16 2011

Please suggest how to clear this error message.

Dear Kasi

its not a problem if you are working on IDES.

Enter T code SE16N.

Enter table name MARV. Press enter.

Enter your company code in the required field. Press enter.

Enter &SAP_EDIT in the place where you entered the T code. Press enter. Now it is in edit mode.

Execute (click on Clock icon). A new screen appears.

Enter The Current Year: Current Month: Year of the previous Month: Previous month: Last year: Last month of the calendar year. As asked in the screen.

Press enter. Save and come outside.

Please do remember all the time period should be as per your system calendar.

Also do remember this is only workable when you are using IDES for education purpose only. Because skipping so many periods in between can cause problems when you are on real time scenario. Using MMPV is the standard procedure where you close the periods one by one.

Try it.

Update forum.

Hi Nisha/Bharathi/Tushar/Suchiat,

Thanks for advising the solution for closing period.

I tried all the soultions, still i am getting error on all the periods enter for closing ( from 01/2005 to 0/.2011)

I am trying in Ides. as mentioned, it seems there may be more settings are required.

Once again thanks for your replies.

Dear Kasi,

I feel you are doing all this on a IDES system and you are new to SAP, If that is the case, there a lot of settings you need to do, to avoid that what i suggest you is that you put the actual GI date in the Delivery at the item overview tab as some date of nov or dec 2006.

Hello,

Firstly, Go to OMSY and check the periods are current peiods or not to ur company code?

If it is not the current period. close the posting period by going to MMPV.

For example if your company code 1000, YEAR-2006 PE-6

so you have to close the posting periods for all months till this month.

from comp code-1000

To comp code- 1000

period-7

fiscal year-2006

Also make sure that you tick the indicator for alllow the posting in previous period

you need to do close the period end of every month.

Hi,

Hope you are aware of posting periods in MM. The system will allow to do the transaction for the current period (current month) and previous period (current month - 1). But we have to close the old period to open new period. Your statement shows that 12/2006 is the current period and 11/2006 is the previous period. So you have to close the period starting from 12/2006. Do it one by one for every month. Close the periods upto 01/2011. Then you will be allowed to post in the current month 02/2011.

Use the transaction code MMRV for checking the period.

Use the transaction code MMPV to close the periods.

Hi ,

Check OKKP transaction for controlling area.

What is the current fiscal year there.

Change it if its not 2011 and then try steps mentioned by you already.
