Hi Santosh,

PLEASE read the question before posting, you are not helping by just posting random answers like this.

The question asked for the "PRE-REQUISITES" BEFORE posting an MMPV and not "how do I change the stock period".

I know that you are trying to help and I don't want to discourage you from posting, but please do read the question before posting your answers, not reading the question first is not giving the respect to the questioner that they deserve..

Hi,

you should ideally check that all GRs have been posted before you close the period (if the items were received in that period).

The most important thing to check is that all stock count results have been fully posted, especially if any of them are in the previous period.

Once you close the stock period you cannot post (in any circumstances) anything to the period before the one that you are just closing. In SAP you can ONLY have the current period and the current period minus one, as open. You cannot post to any earlier periods and so make sure that you don't need to before you close the period.

Hi,

In fact when ever you complete the month you have to close the period for the previous month.This you can do at the T.code MMPV.

1)before closing the period check wheather the Back posting is allowed at SPRO-logistics general -material master-basic settings-company code settings for the financial year.

2)There will be peiod indicatotors.You have to check them.

3)unless and untill you dont close the period your inventory management settings will not allow you to furthur stating a warning message that 'posting period is in previous month'.
