Open and Close Posting Periods

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.

You can control period by : -

1.  G/L number range.

2.  Company code.

3.  Company code and G/L range. 
 

Notes:

You can either use OB52 or S_ALR_87003642 to maintain the posting periods. Of course, you must have the authorization to maintain the same.
 

Possible Errors:

While posting stock through MIGO following error is shown. Though in T-Code MMRV is shows the period is closing. And also we tryed OBBP and created variant for our company code for all the line copying from 1000.

Answer:

This is an FI error, but you can go to OB52 and then in the second colum of the period change it to 20XX for type S.
 

General GL Account type 'S' named as Billing Control account in OB52 is not found.

I have noticed that the above Billing Control account of P&L Statement type account is non existing in the the OB52 range.

The nature of this Account is to receive all the Billing Invoices transferred to Accounting in SAP CRM are to get posted to this Account in the R/3 but it throws an error saying- 

(Posting period 7 is not open for GL Account type  'S' 2104000)

To solve this I have opened posting periods for Account type '+' that includes account type 'S' for all available entries.

But to my notice the afford said account 2104000 is not falling in any range in OB52. i.e. it is not seen in OB52 at all.

I gave above scenario explained as in F System.

When I compared the scenario in P System for the account 2104000 it is not available in OB52 in Production system also but we do not face any errors for Billing posting in Production at all.

Does any one of us know if there is any account that falls out of the purview of OB52 and is controlled from somewhere else?

Answer:

For Accounts Receivable transactions, where there is a posting made to "Customers" reconciliation account you will require S & D open in OB52.  Further, since usually in billing/AR document will also include an entry to a P&L account, account type S too needs to be opened.
