Data upload with LSMW in special period

Former Member

Dear Experts,

I encountered an error message saying "Posting period 003 2007 is not open" when i tried to upload data with LSMW in specail period 13 2007.

The system kept on picking period 03 even i changed it to 13. I changed many times and press enter enter...error.

Finally i changed the posting date from "31/03/2007" to "31/12/2007", this time entry posted successfuly.

1.) Can anyone explains to me why I only can post these entries in period 13 2007 with posting date 31.12.2007?

I2.) Is that possible to post in period 13 2007 with posting date 31.03.2007 because my company's Statutory Audit is April 06 - Mar07 and we prefer to post with posting date 31/03/2007?

Thanks.

Jack

Hi jack,

Actually you are facing the error in case of postings rather than LSMW.

Every company has it's fiscal year (accounting year), like April-March.And at the start of every month we have to open the period.

For any kind of such problems,

OBY6 - Check the fiscal year

OX18 - Remove the assignments of plant & company code

OMSY - Make month as current month ( like sept or octomber)

OX18 -Make assignment of plant & company code

OMWD - Give 0001 to plant

Also for periods opening and closing follow the following:-

IMG->Financial Accounting->Financial Accouting Global Settings->Document->Posting Periods->Open and close posting periods.

OB52

MM posting periods:

Logistics->Materials management->Material master->Other->Close period

MMPV (to open current period)

Logistics->Materials management->Material master->Other->Post to prev.period

MMRV (shows what is open)

Also check OB52 for type M

Thanks & Regards,
