Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Welcome to this blog post on Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
We saw some queries on this new app and the difference between the old and the new app so providing more details to clarify your doubts.
You can use this app Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting to
- Open and close fiscal periods for cost accounting transactions
-
Display the status of CO periods – open or close
-
Open or close CO periods by company code
-
Open or close CO periods for specific business transactions types by company code
-
Schedule background jobs to open and close posting periods
Now we see the earlier already existing app – Manage Posting Periods
This app allows you to open or close fiscal periods for both finance and controlling transactions and for normal as well as special periods.
To Open Periods, click on Set Posting periods at the bottom of the screen –
Select a posting period variant item that you want to change, and choose Set Posting Periods > Open Periods.
Change the fiscal year period to open a posting period and save.
Opening a posting period will automatically close the previous period.
In addition to normal periods, you can change adjustment periods for authorized users (by the authorization group field) and CO periods to meet your needs.
When you want to open and close fiscal periods for cost accounting transactions especially for individual business transaction types, you can select the CO Period Status tab in the footer bar which will then take you to the new Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting app we discussed above.
Hope the difference between the two Fiori apps is clear.
You can find more information on this help site.

Hello,
Do you know from which S/4HANA Release the app Manage periods allows to open&close the CO period at the company code level?
The S/4HANA up to 1809 allows to manage the CO period at the CO area only, but not at the company code, so I´m wondering which S/4HANA is enhanced to manage the CO period at the company code? Or is it only available in the S/4HANA? Cloud
Thank you in advance!
I am trying to run KSAI, but get an error message about business transaction type KAZI not being open. But in the 'Manage posting period - cost accounting', it not appearing as an option?
hello, where have the plan versions gone?
