Use
In this IMG activity, you can specify for each variant which posting periods are open for posting. For this, you can choose between period intervals 1 to 3.
You can use period intervals 1 and 2 for all normal posting processes in regular and special periods.
For period interval 1, you can enter a group of authorized users. This means that, for month-end or year-end closing, for example, you can open posting periods for specific users only. You make the necessary authorization settings in the optional authorization object Accounting Document: Authorizations for posting periods (F_BKPF_BUP).
We recommend using period interval 1 for special periods because authorizations can only be managed here.
Period interval 3 is used for postings from Controlling (CO) to Financial Accounting (FI).
- If you do not make an entry for period interval 3, the check on these postings is made from the real-time integration against period intervals 1 and 2.
- If you make an entry for period interval 3, the check on these postings is only made against period interval 3.
For each interval, you specify the lower and upper limits of the posting period as well as the fiscal year.
For each posting period that should be open, you need to create a minimum entry. You enter a + in column K, while the From Account and To Account columns must not contain entries. When you enter the posting date in the document header, the system uses the minimum entry to check whether the postings can be made to the posting period. You can only use account typet + for period interval 3.
To open a posting period just for postings to specific accounts, for example, you can additionally differentiate the period intervals by account interval. Enter the account type and the corresponding G/L account numbers. For accounts and subledgers, specify the account type and the reconciliation account.
You close a period by defining the period interval so that it no longer includes the periods to be closed.
Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
Specify the periods permitted for posting:
- Create a minimum entry for all posting periods that you want to be open (account type +).
- If you want to restrict the periods further for specific accounts, complete the entries for account types or account areas.
- If you want to limit user access, enter an authorization group for each time period 1.
