Intercompany matching and reconciliation (ICMR) - period closing and opening

[Harry_Vincent]

Is there a way to close periods in ICMR like we do it in S4HANA accounting? Users wanted to close a period, so that the matchings made in the months (period) cannot not be unassigned or new matching cannot be made for the documents of that period. Similar to accounting where you cannot post anything in the closed period.

I know about reconciliation close, but that blocks matching altogether, and when current period is open it allows to edit (match and unassign) all documents, also of previous periods. Any workaround may be appreciated if there is no standard feature for this.

@Harry_Vincent FYI, from S/4HANA Cloud 2502 and S/4HANA On-premise 2025, the reconciliation close process in ICMR will be enhanced as follows:

• When reconciliation for a unit pair is closed, the matching lock, manual assigning/unassigning are on pair level rather than on the leading unit level.
• Data roll-in and flexible upload are no longer blocked by reconciliation close.
• In Manage Reconciliation Close, two columns show reconciliation differences: The difference up to latest cutoff timestamp and The difference calculated at the time when the pair was last closed.
• You can view historical reconciliation statements of each pair on the detail page of Manage Reconciliation Close. 

Thanks!

Thanks @GraceZou for replying. Does this mean that currently, we cannot close the process of matching/unmatching of documents for a period eg may month only while keeping open June month document matching/unmatching??
