Background documentation Determining Posting Periods Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The information from all areas is updated for the following time characteristics:

Please note the following differences in the individual areas:

The FI-CO InfoSources supply their data with exactly these time units.

The Logistics InfoSources supply their data using the current day’s information. In updating, it is possible to automatically convert this day information to the required time units (for example 0BILL_DATE for posting period, fiscal year, fiscal year/period).

The only information that is missing is the fiscal year variant. This must be transferred as a constant in updating. The automatic conversion to posting period then accesses this constant and uses it, together with the fiscal year and day information, to determine the required time units.

The information is provided on a monthly basis (0CALMONTH). For the system to determine a posting period from monthly information, the month must be converted to a statistical date.

Example

06.1999 à 15.06.1999

A routine can then use this statistical date to access function module DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT. This function module supplies the fiscal year/period, posting period, and fiscal year.
