Fiscal Year Variant in Controlling Area

Hi All,
Scenario 1:
I have a Company code with FYV "A" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Apr - Mar), and I have another company code with FYV "B" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Apr-Mar).
Can I assign these two company codes on Controlling Area?
Scenario 2:
I have a Company code with FYV "A" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Apr - Mar), and I have another company code with FYV "B" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Jan-Dec).
Can I assign these two company codes on Controlling Area?
Thanks for your help
Best Regards
Swamy

Dear Ranga,
I thought i will give more information.
The fiscal year variants for the company code and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods, but must have the same number of posting periods. The period limits for the fiscal year variants must also match up. In FI, special periods are used for adjustment postings at year-end closing, or for revaluation. If FI has been set up with four special periods, but CO with only one, then the postings for the second, third, and fourth special periods in FI are posted to the first special period in CO. If there is no special period in CO, the FI postings in the special period are posted to the last posting period in CO.

Different Company Code with same fiscal year variant and controlling area

Hi
I have three company codes in three three different countries: 1000 (ABC India), 2000 (ABC Inc, US), 3000 (ABC Dubai)
But our consultants have assigned only one fiscal year variant V3 and one controlling area 1000 (with fiscal year variant v3)
So what problem one may face because of above settings and what is ideal setting for such scenario
Edited by: Meenu_ND on Oct 18, 2010 2:35 PM

I have one leading ledger and two non leading ledger (i.e Group ledger and IFRS ledger). But Fiscal year variant is not mentioned for both the non leading ledgers.
So i think it will take V3 only for non leading ledgers too.
And in your solution, since India is main company, fiscal year variant for leading ledger needs to be V3 only.
What if i keep non leading ledger as fiscal year from Jan to Dec. Then it will be:
Leading Ledger: April to March
Non leading ledger: Jan to Dec
In above case, do i need to create separate controlling area ?

Use of Different Fiscal Year Variant-Statistical Depreciation Area Postings

An existing Company Code in SAP is going to have Fixed Assets implemented. This Company Code is setup just like the others in our SAP instance: Same Chart of Accounts, Same Fiscal Year Variant, Fixed Asset procedures, etc. For purposes of this question our company's Fiscal Year is from August 1st to July 31st. In addition, this Company Code will post Fixed Assets just like the other SAP enabled Company Codes into Book Depreciation Area 01. The company I work with is on ECC 6 but we use the Classic Ledger for Financials, and the Special Ledger is posted to but not really utilized.
For the Country Specific/Tax Reporting purposes within Fixed Asset Accounting we have created a Statistical Depreciation Area 03 (I will call it Tax) with its own Life and Depreciation Key assignments with a setting of 0 in OADB-No Posting in GL for this Fixed Asset go-live, so I think we are set there. The tricky part comes in the reporting. The country in question requires information to be generated on a Calendar Year basis, which is obviously different than the Fiscal Year outlined above. To my knowledge we would have to assign Tax Depreciation Area 03 to the Calendar Fiscal Year Variant: Financial Accounting>>Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>Fiscal Year>>Fiscal Year Variants>>Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level.
The other piece of this is to get the Fixed Asset Reporting for Tax Depreciation Area 03 to work on a Calendar Year basis for the Company Code in question. When I did some research I stumbled upon the link below. In summary it says that you have to manipulate the standard Fixed Assets reports in Excel for Asset Acquisitions and Depreciation, and setup a new Retirement routine/transaction for posting into the Special Depreciation Area.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/05/bc0bf3d8f811d1953e0000e82debf7/content.htm
My questions are:
1) Besides assigning a different Fiscal Year Variant for Tax Depreciation Area 03, is there anything else I need to worry about on the setup end?
2) Is the article I posted accurate when it comes to how the reporting works and the need for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine? If so, what are the configuration steps for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?
3) Is there anything else that I need to consider for enabling Fixed Assets at an existing Company Code with different Reporting requirements for Book/Tax purposes?
Thanks in advance for all responses. I am willing to answer any other questions on this subject if needed.

Hello Rio. In our scenario, we still had to load assets in the legal entity with this issue. When we loaded the fixed asset data into SAP we did with data accurate as of December 31, 2011; which for book purposes is 5 months into our company's fiscal year, and for tax purposes is the end of the 2011 calendar year. The calendarized reporting for the tax depreciation will need to be pieced together manually using the SAP recommended methodology of combining report values, which I have pasted below.
Since this is the only SAP-enabled entity that has this scenario right now we are in wait and see mode to see if this sufficient. In the end the SAP path for Dual Calendar was too much of a risk.
I hope this helps.

How to change the fiscal year in the controlling area?

I want to change the fiscal year mentioned in the controlling area. The problem is that the controlling area is assigned to a company code and number ranges have been defined and cost center hierarchy has been created.
Please suggest me what to do?
Thanks in advance

Hi
If its a Productive system - You cant change the FY.. You need to take SAP SLO Service.. Its a chargeble one
If its a Test system and data is posted, then you need to delete the data 1st of all... I advise create a new contr area / comp code
"Activate components & Control Indicators" - Just COPY 2011 and make it 1900 or any year of your choice

Company codes with different fiscal year variants in a controlling area

Hi all,
When I try to assign a company code with different fiscal year variant than controlling area I get error. It is ok so far.
However, after assigning company with same fsv to controlling area the system lets me to change company code's fsv in company code global settings and I can even save it.
So I wonder how it would be possible ? Why do I get just a warning instead of an error and save ?
Thanks and regards.
M.Yusuf Dogan

Hi Bulut,
There are 12 normal and 3 special periods in the fsv of the company code which i'm trying to assign. However, controlling area's fsv has 12 normal and 4 special periods. I get an error message "KT297".
Actually, my point is that if the company code's fsv is same with co's I can assign but the system lets me change cc's fsv after assignment.

One Controlling Area for Two CoCds with different Fiscal Year variant

Hi,
I have a Company code with FYV "A1" with 12 Periods (Apr - Mar) - Fiscal year start at Apr-01 and ends Mar-31 of the next year.
I have another company code with FYV "B1" with 12 Periods (Jan-Dec). - Fiscal year start at Jan-01 and ends Dec-31.
Chart of Accounts for both the company code is same.
Can I assign these two company codes to one Controlling Area?
When I try to assign the company codes, I got the following warning message.
Differing fiscal year variants: A1 - B1
Message no. KT297
Diagnosis
Fiscal year variant A1, controlling area 1000, does not agree with fiscal year variant B1, company code 5001.
The following entries must agree:
- Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
- Same period limits
Procedure
Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.
1. What is the meaning of "Same period limits"?
2. Does it mean the fiscal year start and end date must be same?
3. What is the impact of the warning message?
Thanks
Palani

Having same fiscal year variant is one of the requirements for different company codes to be under one controlling area.
The FYV for the company codes and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods. The number of posting periods must be the same.
Impact of warning message: You cannot create one controlling area for both company codes (1:n assignment).
If you like, you can create one controlling area for one compnay code with FYV A1 and another controlling area for another company code with FYV B1.
PS: Please reward the points if you find the answer as useful and rewarding points is a way of saying thanks.

Ledger 0 has fiscal year variant instead of V3 - Message - GI174

Hi all,
i am geting below message when i am doing KP06 for cost center planning
Ledger 0 has fiscal year variant instead of V3
Message no. GI174
Diagnosis
When transferring planning data, the receiver ledgers must have the same fiscal year variant as the sender system, since all planned periods are transferred and not just one period with a posting date. Therefore, the period cannot be converted.
Procedure
Compare the fiscal year variant of the sender system with the FI-SL fiscal year variant.
You can access this in FI-SL Customizing by choosing Basic Settings Master Data -> Ledger (select the ledger specified in this message) -> Assign Comp.Cd/Comp. -> After selecting the company code, the system displays the assigned fiscal year variant.
Kindly do the needful.
Regards,
TDK

Hi,
The message means you need to change fiscal year variant of ledger 0 to V3. I guess your fiscal year variant of controlling area is V3. Both of them should have same fiscal year variant. So change it may be solve the problem.

Assigning Different Fiscal Year Variants between comapny codes

Folks,
We have 2 company codes 1000 and 1010 both are assigned to controlling area 2000. I want to know what are the impacts of assigning company 1000 and 1010 to different fiscal year variants. I get this warning message when i try to save.
Please advice if this is advisable to do? and what are the impacts.
Message no. KT297
Diagnosis
Fiscal year variant K4, controlling area 2000, does not agree with fiscal year variant V9, company code 1010.
The following entries must agree:
Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
Same period limits
Procedure
Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.

Dear Zaid Azam,
you have assigned 1000 and 1010 to one controlling area 2000,
To assign more than one company code to one controlling area the below are conditions
1) The Operative fiscal year variants in the company codes must match the fiscal year variant in controlling area.
2) The company codes must use the same chart of accounts.
So if you are assigning other fiscal year variant where the number of posting periods are different, hece system giving an error.
Thanks and Regards

Fiscal year variants in co.code have inconsistent start date
Message no. AC531

Please guide me how to fix this error message.

Fiscal Year Variant change

Hello,
We are being asked to switch our fiscal year variant from 445 to calendar month based beginning 1/1/2010. I am curious as to how to approach this change from the BW perspective.
I first did a quick look at the system to see how and where fiscal year variant is used.
What i found is that:
1. Fiscal year variant is used in our cubes as part of the transaction data
2. Almost all the queries have the FYV as part of the query definition. (won't be able to restrict to just 1 FYV since it will rule out many records since FYV is part of transaction data in our cubes)
3. Many queries compare current Fiscal periods to prior fiscal periods and and ranges too. This is enabled by using variable exits for 0FISCPER etc.
4. There are some Restricted Key Figures that have the FYV as part of thier definition.
5. Many DSO objects have the FYV as a key field.
What do you recommend from your own experience with regards to how to handle this change. I am curious what the impacts will be and what I should be prepared for. I am guessing that data in our DSO's will pile up since starting 1/1/2010 every record will have a new FYV (remember FYV is a key field), also I am curious how time based variable exits will work, since I think they depend to some extent on a single FYV.
Any advice or recommendations on how to approach this change is appreciated. Also what decisions have to be made if any...
Thanks!
Nick

Hello,
Okay here is one thing that i have run across that i do not understand. I am using Offsets in a query. Everything works fine with regards to these offsets, except for when i introduce 2 Fiscal Year Variants.
Once there are 2 fiscal year variants, the offsets are completely ignored.
Does anyone have an explanation why variable offsets would no longer work when there are 2 fiscal year variants on the same report?
When i launch this query in the web browser from Analyzer I get the following error message:
Diagnosis
Variable ZS_FPER2 contains a fiscal year period which is to be moved by 10 periods. Before this can occur, the fiscal year variant must first be specified clearly so that the number of periods in the fiscal year can be determined.
System Response
Procedure
If the fiscal year variant exists as a variable, enter a value for this variable. If the fiscal year variant is not specified in the query, you must include it in the query.
You can specify the fiscal year variant either globally or for the InfoProvider specifically.

Error FGV002: Fiscal year variant & is not maintained for calendar year &

Hi all,
I am facing a unique problem in BW production. This is not happeneing in my Development.
Whenever I goto table "/BI0/SFISCPER" or do F4 on any Fiscal Year / Peiod field, I get the message " Error FGV002: Fiscal year variant R1 is not maintained for calendar year 2005" . In my client R1 is Shortened Fiscal Year. But we are not using this for year 2005 and most years. And the message is Type Error. I tried to debug but the code enters in 100 odd Function Modules and does not give any answer.
My Finance Person has checked the settings in transaction SPRO > SAP Reference IMG > BW Customizing Implementation Guide > Business Information Warehouse > General BW Settings > Maintain Fiscal Year Variant). They are exactly identical to R/3 production setting.
I have already done rebuild of Fiscal Year Variant from Source System by right clicking and loading data again.
I am using BW 3.0B with Bi Content 3.1 . Please advise urgently.
