S_ALR_87003642 - Open and Close Posting Periods

SAP FI Certification Training

S_ALR_87003642 - Open and Close Posting Periods

Functionality

In this activity you specify for each variant which posting periods are open for posting. Two intervals are available for doing this (period 1 and period 2). For every interval, enter a lower period limit, an upper period limit and the fiscal year.
You can specify separately G/L account number ranges (as well as sub ledger accounts). To do this, you specify the subledger account type, such as D or K, and the corresponding reconciliation account.
In this way you can, for instance, close postings for customer accounts, but allow postings for vendors and GL accounts.

Scenario

At month end, after Assets, AP, AR and GL ledgers are ready to be closed, maintain this transaction accordingly. Specify the periods allowed for posting.
