Purpose & Overview
With help of a new report RFOB5200 you can set the open and close posting periods in background for a posting period variant(s). Previously, it was only possible to open and close posting periods with transaction code OB52. Now you can make the same update programmaticly. OB52 is still available and should be used for single changes but this new program makes it easier to update a large number of accounts, posting period variants, or account types.
RFOB5200 was delivered with SAP Note No 1483900. With this report, it is possible to adjust a large number of posting period entries or to schedule the update in the background via transaction SM37. It is still possible to use transaction code OB52 to open and close posting periods for a particular posting period variant. The functionality of OB52 is not affected by this program.
Report Execution
The screenshot below shows the initial screen of the report. It has the same fields that show up at OB52 and therefore has similar functionality in terms of maintaining the entries.
Step 1: Maintain the appropriate parameters of the change that you want to make. For instance, enter in the appropriate posting period variant, account type, account, record type, etc. and select the type of change being made (Change / Close). For a change in the table entry, enter in the new values for From Period/Year and To Period/Year.
Step 2: Schedule Background Job. Go to the menu path: Program > Execute in Background. The following prompt will appear. In this case, the execution of the program will occur at a specific date/time. Save the start time and then monitor the job at transaction SM37.
