Procedure documentationPeriod-End Closing Activities

Procedure

Unless directed otherwise, perform the following activities in your test system and production system, and document the results.

  1. Lock the current and previous periods in Materials Management (program RMMMPERI)

  2. Perform closing for periodic asset postings (with program RAPERB2000).

    You perform this step if you are using Asset Accounting.

  3. Execute the periodic depreciation posting run (with program RAPOST2000).

    You perform this activity if you are using classic Asset Accounting, new Asset Accounting, or the SAP Simple Finance add-on 1.0.

  4. Check for update terminations in your system and correct any you find.

  5. Make sure that all held documents have either been posted or deleted.

    • To post held documents, use transaction FB50, for example. In the menu for the transaction, choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Select Held Document End of the navigation path.

    • To delete held documents, you can use program RFTMPBLD.

      You can delete individual held documents in transaction FB50. In the menu for the transaction, choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Delete Held Document End of the navigation path.

  6. If you are already using account-based profitability analysis, perform a delta upload to SAP BW for all account-based CO-PA DataSources for which you use the delta method.

    You perform this activity if you are using classic General Ledger Accounting, new General Ledger Accounting, or the SAP Simple Finance add-on 1.0.

  7. Make sure that you have carried forward all of the balances in all applications to the current fiscal year. This also applies to the subledgers. Use the following transactions:

    • FAGLGVTR, if you are using new General Ledger Accounting

    • F.16, if you are using classic General Ledger Accounting

    • AJRW, if you are using Asset Accounting

    • F.07, if you are using Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

  8. The following applies for Asset Accounting: Close all fiscal years except the current fiscal year. Use program RAJABS00 to do this.

  9. You perform this step if you have been using classic General Ledger Accounting, and used the foreign currency valuation with function Valuation for Balance Sheet Preparation there.

    In this case, you have to set the valuation differences in the open items to zero; this means you reset the valuations for all periods in the current fiscal year. Reset the valuations using program SAPF100.

    This step is required because the foreign currency valuation in new General Ledger Accounting does not take into account the results of the function Valuation for Balance Sheet Preparation in classic General Ledger Accounting. If you do not reset the valuations, this could result in incorrect values.

  10. Execute all scheduled jobs and do not schedule any new jobs.

  11. Lock the periods in Financial Accounting (program SAPL0F00) and Controlling (Plan/Actual) (program SAPMKCSP).

  12. Execute progam RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK again to make sure that the prerequisites for Asset Accounting have been met.

  13. Lock all users in the system that do not have any tasks associated with the installation or the migration.
