DP Planning in Fiscal Periods and Fiscal Weekly Periods

Hi,
We are using fiscal calnedar that starts on first Sunday of Nov with 4 weeks in each period i.e., fiscal year 2009 started on Nov 2nd (Sunday) and first period goes from Nov 2nd (Sunday) to Nov 29th (Saturday) and so on.
So, our fiscal week also starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday i.e., in first period of 2009 the following are the fiscal weeks
1 fiscal week - Nov 2nd to Nov 8th
2 fiscal week - Nov 9th to Nov 15th
3 fiscal week - Nov 16th to Nov 22nd
4 fiscal week - Nov 23rd to Nov 29th
1 fiscal period - Nov 2nd to Nov 29th
In storage bucket profile we are able to assign only one fiscal period profile. There is no place to consider fiscal weeks.
Created two planning books as follows
1. Planning book with time bucket profile of fiscal periods. It is allowing me to plan in fiscal periods and works as expected
2. Planning book with time bucket profile of fiscal weeks. It is not allowing me to plan in fiscal weeks
How to make the fiscal weeks planning book work?
Thanks in advance,
Srini

What version are you using? We asked for this in 2003 at ASUG and although it was delivered in 4.1 we never got it to work, but when we upgraded to 5.1 it works perfectly.
Define 1 storage bucket profile with fiscal weeks and 2 planning bucket profiles, one with fiscal weeks and the other with fiscal months. Then define your planning area with the SBP fiscal week. Within interactive planning, turn on the header functionality. Choose the first icon on the upper left corner of the planning grid and choose "change periodicity" and you can switch from "fiscal weeks" to "fiscal months".

Using fiscal period and Fiscal quarter reporting seemlessly in a BI Query

Hi,
We have a very specific issue. Reporting the Fiscal Period( in our
case we have 53 fiscal periods) and Fiscal Quarter( we have 4 quarters)
in the same query seamlessly as we would have done using Calander Month
and Calander quarter in other reports that uses SAP delivered standard
time dimensions.
However unlike the Calander time dimension (SAP provided all
possible...0CALDAY, 0CALWEEK, 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALYEAR) where you have all of these inside your info provider, you can get
aggregation on week, month, quarter etc in your query seamlessly, The Fiscal Year/Period offers a problem in doing report seamlessly.
When we delve into Fiscal realm, SAP only provided with 0FISCVARNT,
0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and a special period 0FISCPER3. It doesn't provide
anything like 0FISCQUARTER etc and rightly so, because you can have
only one 0FISCVARNT in the Time dimension and can have related periods
(0FISCPER) only for a Row of data in your infocube. For example if you need to model as per the Fiscalweek, you can create a custom Fiscal year variant (Say z1) and can configure to have only 53 periods (Mapped to 0FISCPER) representing
53 Fiscal WEEK. Similarly for mapping Fiscal Quarter you can create
another fiscal year variant (Say Z2) and have only 4 periods (mapped to
0FISCPER also in this case) to represent the 4 Fiscal Quarter. However
the issue is that for one record you can only map either of those and
not both since you can only have one Fiscal year variant in one row of
data in the info provider.
For example
If I have two rows OF DATA coming from different sources (One FOR
Fiscal Week and another for Fiscal Quarter) I can have the following in
my info provider.
1> Example data in Fiscal
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER Quantity
X ...... y .....10/22/07 ....Z1 .... 432007 .......10
X ....... Y .....10/22/07 ....Z2 .... Q32007 .......20
The issue is how do I report the Quantity in a query in Quarter Q3 as
(10 + 20 = 30) since both the rows corresponds to FISCAL Q32007?
(Please note that Fiscal week 432007(For VARIANT Z1 ) actually is
Fiscal Quarter Q32007( For Fiscal Variant Z2) as per our
configuration of Fiscal Year Variant configuration Z1 and Z2)
The same is very simple when I have infoprovider with CALENDAR Time
dimensions , for example if we dont have any fiscal reporting
requirement and just report on calendar time dimension the record in
the info provider would look like the following ( example)
2> Example Data in CALENDAR DIMENSION
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0CALWEEK 0CALQUARTER Quantity
X ........ y .......10/22/07 .......432007 .......Q32007 .......10
X ........Y .......10/22/07 ....... 442007 .......Q32007 .......20
Here we can use both 0CALQUARTER and get the data aggregated on the
quarter level in addition to the 0CALWEEK.
To solve this issue, One option that we are thinking of Using 0CALQUARTER to represent the
Fiscal Quarter and use Update rule to populate this one. For example
THE example 1 can be as follows.
1A> Example of using 0CALQUARTER along with 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCPER
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER 0CALQUARTERE Quantity
X .......y .......10/22/07 ..............Z1 .......432007 .......Q32007 ..............10
X .......Y .......10/22/07 ..............Z2 .......Q32007 .......Q32007 ..............20
In this case we would populate the 0CALQUARTER by the actual Fiscal
Quarter and then can use both as per example 2 above. But this is not a
smooth option since we have various other info providers to join and
report based on solely Fiscal Quarter etc
I am certain that this issue have already been solved by somebody as this bound to happen in any finance application.
Would appreciate if we can get some light on this regarding the data modelling, reporting etc.
Thanks
Arun G.

You have yourself suggested a solution, which is fine,
Other option is to have a new characteristic Fiscal Qtr in all the infoproviders ans update the same using a routine in the updaterule depending on the fiscal year variant.
for eg. for transaction with variant Z1 in one case you can say if fiscal week 01 between 01 to 13 the Fiscal Qtr should be update with1 and if it is between 14 to 26 then update fiscal qtr with 2 and so on.
For other Variants Z2 you write a different login in the routine ans so on.
so for all the data irrespective of the variant you will have the qtr as either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and you can report on this fiscal qtr.
assign points if it helps.

Period and Fiscal Year in a report selction screen (3.1 I version of SAP.)

Hi Team,
I have a requirement on a Zreport. Suppose if we are executing a report in the month of March (3)-fiscal year 2011 and if I select a variant and the varinat should populate period as Feb (2 period) and fiscal year as last year (2010).
In Nut shull if i am executing the report todays date the period and fiscal year in the selection screen should be 2 and 2010.
Also please note that i am working on 3.1 I version of SAP.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thank you
Venkatesh Billa

Hi,
Generatlly while saing the variant for the report selection screen you can use the dynamic date calculation , where the last period and last fiscal year options are available.
Also you can choose the option of calculating the period and fiscal year in your program and can default the same on the selection screen. But I think you should check in ABAP forum for this, whether there anything in coding also.

Gaurav

Fiscal QTD and Fiscal QTD - Same Quarter, Prior Year

Hello,
I am having some issues creating the DAX formulas in my Tabular model for Fiscal QTD. Our fiscal period ends on Feb 28th (or 29th). I managed to get the Fiscal QTD working by using the following formula:
Transaction $ Fiscal QTD:=CALCULATE (
[Transaction $ Current Day],
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Dates' ),
'Dates'[Fiscal Year] = VALUES(Dates[Fiscal Year])
&& 'Dates'[Fiscal Quarter] = VALUES ( 'Dates'[Fiscal Quarter] )
&& 'Dates'[Calendar Date] <= MAX ( 'Dates'[Calendar Date] )
However when I try to use this formula for Fiscal QTD, Same Quarter-Prior Year, I get an incorrect total:
Transaction $ Fiscal QTD Prior Year:=CALCULATE (
[Transaction $ Current Day],
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Dates' ),
'Dates'[Fiscal Year] = VALUES(Dates[Fiscal Year]) - 1
&& 'Dates'[Fiscal Quarter] = VALUES ( 'Dates'[Fiscal Quarter] )
&& 'Dates'[Calendar Date] <= MAX ( 'Dates'[Calendar Date])
Values in the Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year columns of the date dimension are integers.
Does anyone have any insight into Fiscal QTD DAX formulas?
Cheers,
Stan

Does anyone have a suggestion for Stan?

Difference between data selection period and personal seletion period

Hi
Experts ,
ples Expline ,
Difference between data selection period and personal seletion period. to Data screening .

Data selection period means
For example if u given any period,
here we are checking whether data is valid in this period.
Personal selection period means
we are checking whether person is valid in a given period.
Example is:
For example if the employee resigned in a company on 15th of month.
He can get the salary only at the end of month it means his data is avilable upto end of month.
But when you consider his status from 16th to end of month
the person is not available.
So when u given date(16th to end of month) in data selection period is showing that person data is avilable.
But when mention that date in person selection period it is showing no person is avilable.
if useful

How to add FISCAL YEAR, Period and Day to cube.

hi,
I am using SD EXTRACTORS (2LIS_11_VAITM, 2LIS_11_VAKON, 2LIS_12_VCITM and 2LIS_13_VDITM) and directly updating each corresponding ODS and cube.
All the extractors only have FISCAL VARIANT has the time characteristic. So, all my ODS contains only one time char - fiscal variant and other dates (liek document created date etc. (not a time char)).
Now, I want to use fiscal period, fiscal year and fiscal day in my cube. I have added these time char in my cube.
My question:
1. how to get FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL PERIOD and FISCAL DAY get updated. Do I need to map to document created date in update rules or Do I need to use some functional module.
Pls note I am bringing only FISCAL VARIANT from R/3 into ODS and then to CUBE.
PLS REPLY.

thanks sundar..i got your point..but I have one question
All the cubes (sales, sales condition and billing) have the sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) and item number (POSNR-VBUK). But info objects used for these fields in sales cube and sales condition cube are same but for billing it is not same.
Can I combine all cubes (sales order, sales condition, billing) in muliti provider.
1. Sales order cube (from VAITM)
           Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0DOC_NUMBER)
           Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0S_ORD_ITEM)
Date : Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
2. Sales Condition cube (from VAKON)
           Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0DOC_NUMBER)
           Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0S_ORD_ITEM)
Date: Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
Key field: Netprice (VBAP-NETWR) -- 0NET_VALUE
3. Delivery Cube (from VCITM)
         Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN)   -- (0DELIV_NUMB)
         Item   (VBUK-POSNR)                         -- (0DELIV_ITEM)
Date: Delivery Date :LIKP-WADAT_IST      -- 0ACT_GI_DTE
4. Billing Cube (from VDITM)
          Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0BILL_NUM)
          Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0BILL_ITEM)
Date: Billing Date: (VBRK-FKDAT)             -- (0BILL_DATE)
Key field: Net price (VBRP-NETWR)       -- 0NETVAL_INV
I want to combine above cubes. If I combine, Will I get correct data??????

Fiscal Period and MM period.

Hi all,
Can somebody explain the difference b/w Fiscal Period and MM Period in business context. Detail explanation will be helpful.
thanks & regards,
Prashant Rathore.

Dear,
Fiscal Year Definition
Usually a period of twelve months for which a company regularly creates financial statements and checks inventories.
The fiscal year may correspond exactly to the calendar year, but this is not obligatory.
Under certain circumstances a fiscal year may be less than twelve months (shortened fiscal year).
Fiscal Year Structure
A fiscal year is divided into posting periods. Each posting period is defined by a start and a finish date. Before you can post documents, you must define posting periods, which in turn define the fiscal year.
In addition to the posting periods, you can also define special periods for year-end closing.
In General Ledger Accounting, a fiscal year can have a maximum of twelve posting periods and four special periods. You can define up to 366 posting periods in the Special Purpose Ledger.
What is the Use of Fiscal Year
In order to assign business transactions to different time periods, you must define a fiscal year with posting periods. Defining the fiscal year is obligatory.
You define your fiscal year as fiscal year variants which you then assign to your company code. One fiscal year variant can be used by several company codes.
You have the following options for defining fiscal year variants:
Fiscal year same as calendar year
Fiscal year differs from calendar year (non-calendar fiscal year). The posting periods can also be different to the calendar months.
You define your fiscal year variants in Customizing for Financial Accounting as follows: Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Fiscal Year ® Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fiscal Year)
MM Periods
Closing operations are periodic tasks and can be subdivided in FI as follows:
u2022     Day-end closing
u2022     Month-end closing
u2022     Year-end closing
The closing operations component helps you prepare and carry out the activities required for day-end, month-end, and year-end closing. For this purpose, the system provides a series of standard reports that you can use to generate evaluations and analyses directly from all of the posted account balance. The system helps you carry out the following:
u2022     (Time-based) accruals/deferrals of expenses and revenues
u2022     Creating the balance sheets and P&L statements
u2022     Documenting the posting data
Prerequisites
To carry out the closing operations in G/L accounting, you first need to carry out the closing operations in the subledger accounting areas you are using. These include:
u2022     Accounts receivable and accounts payable accounting
u2022     Inventory accounting
u2022     Asset accounting
u2022     Payroll accounting

Problem with Fiscal Period and regarding...

Hi all,
         I have a particular query in which posting period and fiscal year are the characteristic variables(mandatory and single values) . I have to define Rolling Year To Date variable/ User exit such that when the user enters posing period and fiscal year query has to fetch previous 12 periods data from the cube..
       If posting period is 005 and fiscal year is 2007 then the output for a particular balance Keyfigure has to be from 005-2007 to 006-2006.
     The thing is we dont have Fiscal period defined in the cube . One possible solution is Using the Offsets if we are are goin to offset on the previous 12 periods, is the query going to fetch the correct values.
    Other thing we can think of is user exits can some one share the logic regarding this... if we have to user the user exits. Promise to award full points.
regards,
sasidhar gunturu

Sasidhar,
Since you have posting period and fiscal year separately, you need not think of going for an exit. You can simply use offsets on both so that they will fetch right data. Since there are two separate objects offsets should fetch correct data. Go ahead with offsets.....

Fiscal year and posting period

Hai friends,
I have a requirement like this,
when I choose say 02/2008(posting period/fiscal year or posting period and fiscal year) in the Variable. I also get data for the last twelve months.so my report would have
02/2008,01/2008 ,12/2007.03/2007.
This variable should default to current posting period/fiscal year. So when somebody logs in he sees the current month and last twelve months.He can then change it to whatever he wants.
The way I see it is that I have to write a customer exit and create a variable in which in to we will have current fiscal year/period and in from will have Current fiscal year/period-12.
How to do this.
Any help will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Your approach is right.
If you want the values to default and allow the users to change it, you should put the code under STEP I.
WHEN 'variable'.
IF I_STEP = 1.
REFRESH e_t_range.
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
l_s_range-low = 'Current Value - 11 periods'
l_s_range-high = 'Current Value'
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.

Want to make fiscal quarters from fiscal periods in Info design tools

Dear Gurus:
I have new reporting requirement for fiscal quarters, currently I have fiscal periods and fiscal years in my business layers. I have two questions from you guys.
1) Which is the better way to achieve this. Should I try to make it in IDT or Should we make it in BW and then load data again. Also if there is an impact on performance choosing any of the options.
2) If I made it IDT how should I achieve this, considering I need prompt on fiscal quarters dimension.
Best Regards:
Jawad K. Sheikh

Hi
If BW as back-end of your dashboard, as per the best practice, pushed down to database level all the predefined time periods and include at the Bex Query level.
So in the BO dash board we can just drag and drop. So it’s will improve the performance also.
Please find the below like’s Universe Optimization Techniques, pushed down all the calculation to database level

COPA Report current period and previous period issue

Hi Gurus,
I have defined COPA report (Tcode KE94) based on line items. Now I want all values to be displayed based on an entry parameter in terms of period. That is to say that If I give input values of "010.2013" as a period entry , my report should display the values for the the period specified i.e. 010.2013 in the first column and in second column values for the period 009.2013 should be displayed and in the third column values for the period 001.2013 till 010.2013 should be displayed cumulatively.
For this, I choosed the character "period/year" in General data selection tab, clicked "Variable on/off" tab and gave values "From" as well as "To" for the Global Variable "OFP" which is Curr.fisc.per./year.
For the 1st column (1st column which is suppose to display the values according to selection parameter), along with the character "company code" , I choosed the character "period" and clicked "Variable on/off" tab and gave value "From" as well as "To" for the Global Variable "OFP" which is Curr.fisc.per./year.
For the 2nd column (2nd column which is suppose to display the values for the immediately preceeding period of the selection parameter), along with the character "company code" , I choosed the character "period" and clicked "Variable on/off" tab and gave value "From" as well as "To" for the Global Variable "OFP" which is Curr.fisc.per./year. While doing so, I selected operator as "-" and choosed offset as 1.
For the 3rd column (3rd column which is suppose to display the cumulative values from the beginning of the fiscal year till the period mentioned in the selection parameter), along with the character "company code" , I choosed the character "period" and selected 001 in "From" and 016 in "To" tab.
Company Code selected in all the three columns is same and I have selected actual values i.e. 0 for "plan/actual indicator" tab.
When I run the report through Tcode KE30 , I give values as "010.2013" for the From and To selection tabs. System shows the values as per the selection parameter in the 1st column which is correct but display values same as per coulmn 1st in the 3rd column which is wrong because it should be cumulative. 2nd column is blank.
How to display the values for the immediately preceeding period and for cumulative period?
Regards,
makrand

Dear Ajay,
Thanks for the reply. Here are the screen shots.
For the general data selection tab
For the first column "current month" i.e. for the month
For the second column "Last Months"
For the third column "Cumulative" i.e. year to date
Following is the result of KE30
Values for the period 010.2013
You can see that values in the report for the period 011.2013 contains value for the previous period which is 59090.21
This value is matching when the report is run for the period 010.2013.
But in both the reports,the figures for Current month and YTD (year to date) are same.
Please let me know what setting is required in the current month column.
Regards,
makrand

Open and Close Posting Periods According to G/L Account Assignment Objects

Hi,
Can anybody please explain me how configurations related to " Open and Close Posting Periods According to G/L Account Assignment Objects " works in SAP FICO? I am confused about this config.
Regards,
Mandeep

Hi Mandeep ,
First i would like to tell about fiscal year
fiscal year is nothing but a financial year of company in sap . it contain 12 normal periods and 4 special periods.In genaral we will call like month but that is sap that is a period. so 12 period for 12 months ok next special period will use in all companies for audit and tax adjustment purpose of previous year.
coming to the open and close periods.in sap for security purpose we have to open one period like this month july so i opened july period only we cant post the pervious month (june)and we cant post future month lik in (Auguest)ok
You can close and open periods by transaction ob52.
In transaction ob52 there are account types
+ Valid for all account types
A Assets
D Customers
K Vendors
M Materials
S G/L accounts
V Contract accounts
+ means all types. if you want to open vendor then enter period from and to according to your fiscal year.
you cant adjust items in closed period. if you want to then you have to open the period
For your information.....
posting periods also open user level tc S_ALR_87003642.
customization levael OB52.

Special Periods and Variable Offset

Our fiscal year variant includes 12 periods and one special period (Period 13). I created a rolling 12 month query which uses variable offsets to define each column. If the user enters 3/2006, I would expect to see the next columns to show 2/2006, 1/2006, 13/2005, 12/2005....
Instead the query ignores the special period and jumps directly from 1/2006 to 12/2005 - therefore the postings for Period 13, 2005 are not displayed. From what I've found so far this is standard SAP BW functionality, but has anybody had any luck getting around this?
Thank you.

Jeff,
If I enter 13/2005 into the leading column variable, I can see that there are transactions posted to Period 13 which are not included in the results of Period 12. We have another query where the user can enter a period range using an interval variable for 0FISCPER (i.e. from Period 10/2005 to Period 2/2006) and it brings back results for Period 13/2005. However this other query that uses the variable offset to define the rolling periods does not return the Period 13 results. I thought about adding Period 13/2005 to Table T009B, but I would prefer not to set this up in BW without doing the same in R/3, and I'm not quite sure about the implications of adding an extra (not special) period to the Fiscal Year variant in R/3.
Sven,
I use 0FISCPER for posting period, and I created a structure for the twelve periods. There is a variable (0P_FPER) for current posting period in the first column, and the rest of the columns use offsets to go back the 12 months. For example the second column is (0P_FPER - 1), the third column is (0P_FPER - 2), etc. It seems that my problem is related to the fact that the offset ignores the special periods, while the fiscal period interval variable recognizes these periods.
Thanks very much to both of you for your replies!
