Resolution:
It is possible to re-open a previously closed period. However, it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous period could be affected.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed
period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting
to the new period.
If there has already been postings after the period shifting
to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies
in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.
Steps are as below;
- Go to Transaction Code SE38
- Enter program name RMMMINIT
- Execute or press F8 function button
- Enter your company code (From and To)
- Enter relevant date: Say 01/03/2008 for Mar. 2008 month
to be opened as of now.
That means, user can post for the month of Feb 2008 as well as Mar. 2008.
Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.
As per SAP Notes 487381 (If the periods are opened in
