If retroactive runs affect the previous fiscal year, you follow a different procedure than described in the section Posting Retroactive Accounting Data In this case, the last general posting period is usually already finished. However, posting to special periods in the old fiscal year is sometimes still possible, and usually necessary. This process in called posting to special periods. You can trigger posting to special periods when starting posting to Accounting.

The number and duration of posting periods and special periods are defined within Financial Accounting using fiscal year variants assigned to the company codes. There are usually twelve regular posting periods which, for example, correspond to the calendar months, and four special periods. If the fiscal year has been moved, and in other special cases, the number and dates of the posting periods will be different to this case.
