Summary Symptom You are unable to carry out any period-end closing operations for the penultimat e period

in the material ledger after the period shift in Materials Management ( Transaction: MMPV). Example: In plant 1000, you shift the period to 10/2000. You are now only able to carry o ut period-end closing operations for period 9 in the material ledger. Period-end closing operations are now no longer possible for period 8 and lower. Single-level price determination If you want to carry out a single-level price determination for 8/2000, the syst em issues error message: C+712: "You cannot perform. price determination in period 008/2000". or C+805: "Carry out period-end closing for material &1 &2 in the previous period". Multi-level price determination If you want to carry out a multi-level price determination for 8/2000, the syste m issues error message: CKMLMV008: "You cannot perform. price determination in period 8/2000". Closing entry If you want to execute a closing entry for 8/2000, the system issues error messa ge: C+715 "You are not allowed to execute closing entries in period 8/2000" Revaluation of single-level consumption: As of Release Enterprise, Financial Extensions 1.10, the step 'Revaluation of si ngle-level consumption' is integrated in the cost estimate cockpit. If you carry out a revaluation of single-level consumption for 8/2000, the system issues err or message: CKMLVNB050: "You can not revaluate consumption on periods 8/2000" WIP-revaluation: As of Release Enterprise, Financial Extensions 2.00, the 'WIP revaluation' step is integrated into the cost estimate cockpit. If you carry out a WIP revaluation for 8/2000, the system issues error message: CKMLWIP050 "WIP revaluation is not allowed for periods 003/2003 plant &" Other terms CKMLCP, CKMI, CKMH, CKMM_RUN, MMPV, CKMLVNB050, CKMLVNB-050 CKMLWIP050, CKMLWIP050, C+722 Reason and Prerequisites You use the material ledger. Materials Management does not allow postings to be made to other periods than th e current period and the previous period. The closing entry for the actual costi ng is a posting for the material and therefore is not intended for periods that are older than the previous period. Solution If you use the actual costing (material ledger), you must have completely closed

all period-end closing operations in the actual costing for the penultimate per iod prior to the period shift. Use the 'Costing Cockpit' (Transaction CKMLCP) to make sure that all the materials of the run have status 'Closing entry performe d'. The processing of older periods is not supported in the standard system. Particu larly in test systems, however, sometimes the period has been shifted once witho ut all of the period-end closing operations of the penultimate period having bee n successfully carried out beforehand. You can still carry out period-end closing operations in the previous periods us ing the following workaround. Single-level price determination: ==> Call up Transaction CKMLCP. ==> Select the costing run and the period for which you want to carry out the pe riod-end closing operation. ==> Go to the 'Change parameters' screen for the single-level price determinatio n. ==>Enter "MUST_SETTLE" in the OK code (Transaction code field). ==> Choose ENTER. ==> A single-level price determination is carried out for the run. Multi-level price determination: ==> Call up Transaction CKMLCP. ==> Select the costing run and the period for which you want to carry out the pe riod-end closing operation. ==> Go to the 'Change parameters' screen for the multi-level price determination . ==>Enter "MUST_MULTI" in the OK code (Transaction code field). ==> Choose ENTER. ==> A multi-level price determination is carried out for the run afterwards. Revaluation of single-level consumption (as of Release Enterprise) ==> Call up Transaction CKMLCP. ==> Select the costing run and the period for which you want to carry out the pe riod-end closing operation. ==> Go to the 'Change parameters' screen for the revaluation of single-level con sumption. ==>Enter "MUST_COGS" in the OK code (Transaction code field). ==> A revaluation of single-level consumption is carried out for the run afterwa rds. WIP revaluation (as of Release Enterprise, Ext.Set 2.00) ==> Call up Transaction CKMLCP. ==> Select the costing run and the period for which you want to carry out the pe riod-end closing operation. ==> Go to the 'Change parameters' screen for the WIP revaluation. ==>Enter "MUST_WIP" in the OK code (Transaction code field). ==> A WIP revaluation is carried out for the run afterwards. Closing entry ==> Call up Transaction CKMLCP. ==> Select the costing run and the period for which you want to carry out the pe riod-end closing operation. ==> Go to the 'Change parameters' screen for the closing entry. ==>Enter "MUST_CLOSE" in the OK code (Transaction code field). ==> A closing entry is carried out for the run afterwards. Reversing closing entry ==> Call up Transaction CKMLCP. ==> Select the costing run and the period for which you want to carry out the pe riod-end closing operation. ==> Go to the 'Change parameters' screen for the closing entry. ==> Choose 'Reverse'. ==>Enter "MUST_REVERSE" in the OK code (Transaction code field).

==> The closing entry is reversed afterwards. CAUTION: This is a workaround for a function that is not supported. You take ful l responsibility for using the workaround and SAP does not provide any support i n this case. SAP will not be responsible for the data integrity if you have carr ied out period-end closing operations of the material ledger for other periods t han for the previous period. If problems arise when you apply the workaround, SAP can only provide help in th e form. of chargeable consulting. If you use the actual cost component split, the workaround is only possible for the periods as of the actual cost component split start period as well as their prior period. The following analysis procedure is recommended before applying the workaround: Start Transaction CKM3 beginning from the current period into the past up to the last period record that has the closing entry status (70) or created status (01 ). If no period has this status, all periods are to be closed. The period following this period (status 10 to 60) is the first period to be to closed using the workaround. Then the subsequent periods are to be closed. If you execute a MUST_XXX transaction, the system might display error message C+ 722 ("No data is avaliable for material & in period &."). With the selection, al l materials with price determination control 3 that exist at the current time ar e entered. However, in the period that you want to edit with a MUST_XXX operatio n these materials might not have existed yet. Or they have not yet existed in th e subsequent period which is posted to at the period-end closing. In this case, error C+722 occurs. As it would not make any sense to determine the price or pos t the period-end closing for a material that does not exist, you can ignore this error.
