Good Morning! Happy New Year! 2008

Happy new year 2008 to all SAP professionals! New dawn may bring with it a new fiscal year, a new fiscal period for many of the SAP implementations. At the zero hour of the year we need to check that various number ranges are properly set (if not already), Balances are carried forward, periods are closed.

Pay attention, espacially to the following transactions:

MMPV - MM, close period for material master record
MMRV - MM, allow posting to previous period
OB52 - FI posting periods - specify time intervals
OMBT - Number range for material and physical inventory document
FBN1 - Number ranges for accounting documents
OKEVN - Version maintenance in controlling area, settings by fiscal year - The error message "version 0 not defined for fiscal year "yyyy" may occur if the setting is not maintained.

Have a prosperous 2008!
