In Release 4.0, the Initialize indicator in the period closing program (program RMMMPERI) has been replaced by a separate program for initializing the period once the system is already in operation or after material master data has already been created (program RMMMINIT). The effects of this program are described in the program documentation.
The period initialization program can be accessed in Customizing for the Material Master from the IMG activity Initialize period .
The Initialize indicator has been removed from the period closing program to prevent incorrect operation.
