Maintaining 2 fiscal years

n legacy, customer is currently maintaining 2 fiscal years (April-March & October). Sept). They need period end closing for both the fiscals. Is this possible in SAP?

Hello
Logically speaking, it could be tough. In the global settings, we find onlt one fiscal year variant which is assigned.
I don't think we should change this.
Alternatively, do regular period closing activities every month and generate financial statements for the desired periods. One for April - March and the other october to september. This enables them to have to seperate balance sheets, if that is their purpose.
But some year end activities can be done only for the assigned variant.

Hi,
In fiscal year variant your are define the periods under different types. one period means it is not a month. it may be one day also. it is not standard one . for Further reference please see the standard ones namely, F1 this is also like one of the customization and standard one.
Coming to year shift. For example according to india the accounting year is April to march. so the First month is according to accounting transactions April and the last month March. But our calendar shows from January to december. That is the reason we are specify Jan to March as -1. See V3 standard one.
IF the accounting year start from May to April. then From Jan to april the year shift will be -1.
Hope this clear, if yes assign points.

Sankar

Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2012 when loadin

Dear Experts,
We are working on BI7.0 extracting data from ECC 6.0.
I am trying to load data from 0HR_PY_PP_1 which is a Self DataSource in our BW System (extracts data from 0EMPLOYEE and 0PERSON) to load into ZPA_C50 which is a copy of BCT InfoCube 0PAPA_C02 (Headcount).
The data has come through into the PSA very well.
However, DTP is throwing an error while loading 32242 records of data from PSA into ZPA_C50 InfoCube. The error details as below:
Error while updating to target ZPA_C50 (type INFOCUBE)
Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2012 FGV 2
Messages for 1 data records saved; request is red acc. to configuration
Processing Terminated
We are actually doing a Re-implementation of BW 3.0b in BI 7.0 Ehp1. We have imported Maintenance of Fiscal Year Variant from the BW 3.0b Production System. So this shouldn't be a problem I guess since I have also checked the setting in SPRO in BI 7.0 Development (New) System and they are looking good.
Also, when I do a Filter on 0CALDAY in DTP from 01.01.1900 to 31.12.2010, the loads are working fine. I want the load to run without any Filters on 0CALDAY.
Has anyone been in similar situation. How did you resolve this issue? Your time is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Chandu

Dear Experts
Thanks for your time.
We have resolved this issue ourselves. We have maintained 'Shortened Fiscal Years' for 'Z1' and it is working fine now. Steps are as below:
In BI Dev System -> SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Customizing Implementation Guide -> SAP NetWeaver -> Business Intelligence -> General BI Settings -> Maintain fiscal year variant -> Select 'Z1' Fiscal Year Variant and then DoubleClick on 'Shortened Fiscal Years' to set the Fisc Year Variant -> Save.
The dataload should work fine now.
Cheers,
Chandu

Delta Fail - Fiscal year variant FP is not maintained for fiscal year 2011

Afternoon all,
One of our overnight deltas failed with the error msg
"Fiscal year variant FP is not maintained for calendar year 2011"
I've since in SPRO under Maintain fiscal year variant created the correct entry for 2011 which mirrors the R3 source system. However when i run a repeat delta the same error occurs.
Thinking i may have missed a setting i have since transferred the global settings for fiscal year variants from the source system in RSA1 and again ran a repeat delta...same error.
On the advice from other threads in the forums i've checked in OB29 and it appears fine, and also checked tables T009 and T009b again without success.
Does anyone know of anything else i can try?

hi,
hope run the delta after the attribute change run could solve the issue.
hope u may have the below posts already if not chk out

Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 9006

Hello Experts ,
I am tring to load data into Cube from ECC datasource. The load till PSA is fine but during DTP load I am getting the followig error .
"Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2009006"
I tried to reload "Global settings from System system " But did't worked . Just to let u know our client is retail client and using 4-4-5 fiscal year .
Pls help what should I do.
I saw 0FISCPER AND 0FISCYER Infoobjects in BI but could not find thing .
Your Help will be Highly Appreciated .
Thanks
Pankaj

You have a few choices on how to handle this:
1. Have a functional person update the Fiscal Year Variant in your ECC source system to include periods for Fiscal Year 9006. Then update Global Settings.
2. Update the Fiscal Year Variant in your BW environment, in the IMG (SPRO > SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > SAP NetWeaver > Business Intelligence > General BI Settings > Maintain fiscal year variant).
3. Filter out the data for that Fiscal Year in your DTP.
4. Modify the Transfer Rules / Transformation to change this date to an acceptable Fiscal Year/Period.
These are in order of preference (best practice) on how to handle this.

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.

Change in Fiscal Year Variant Causes Cube to become inactive

In Maintain Fiscal Year variant, we attempted to change the Fiscal Periods to reflect the 2007 Fiscal Calendar. When we saved it, it caused the Update Rules for our Infocube to become inactive. I need to know how to reactivate them or what to do. The Error message is saying that there is no routine created for the object. How do I recreate the routine and reactive the Update Rules?
We are using BW 3.1

Hi David,
Whenever you change a MetaData Object, BW will automatically deactivate everything that relies on that object to prevent system instability. In this case, your Update Rules and InfoCube (and MultiProviders if you use them) were deactivated. In most cases, simply reactivating them will correct the problem.
Judging from your post, this isn't the case. What did you do to the InfoObject that required reactivation of the InfoObject? You may want to check inside the Update Rules to see if BW removed the connection that you had before. I've seen that happen as well.

Changes of Fiscal Year between two different countries

Dear Friends,
In our US client they have office in India. Fiscal Year of United States is 1st October to 30th September. But their India office maintaining fiscal year 1st October to 30th September. Now they want to change US fiscal year(1st October to 30th Sept) to Indian fiscal year as 1st April to 31st March.
Kindly guide me the entire procedure of Fiscal Year changes from US Fiscal Year to Indian Fiscal Year.
Regards,
Samrat

1. First you need to create a variant lets say z1 which must be year dependent from october to march.
2. Due to this the entries posted during these periods the fiscal year will be a head.
For example :
If you want to change in this calendar year from the month of october.
earlier it was 1st october 2008 to 30th september 2009 and the fiscal year is 2009.
Now the fiscal year will become 2010 for the periods october 2009 to march 2010.
In transaction ob29 create a new variant lets suppose z1 as year dependent and give calendar year as 2009 and maintain periods as
Month     Day     Period     Year shift
1     31     4     0
2     28     5     0
3     31     6     0
4     30     1     0
5     31     2     0
6     30     3     0
7     31     4     0
8     31     5     0
9     30     6     0
10     31     1     1
11     30     2     1
12     31     3     1
Click on Shortened Fiscal Years and give the calendar year 2009 and give 6 as no.of posting periods.
Note : Try to maintain periods for the previous year also 2008 as you might be facing problems in asset accounting.

Fiscal year variant is not maintained for calendar year 2009

Hi,
After upgrade to BI 7.0 we are getting error: "Fiscal year variant & is not maintained for calendar year 2009" while opening a query through Bex Analyzer.
Basically it is happening like when we open a particular query, the Variable selection screen comes up, then on clicking the exection button (after selection) it shows SYSTEM_FAILURE exception & clicking the details button, shows the message ""Fiscal year variant is not maintained for calendar year 2009"
Please provide some information/resolution to this.
Thanks,
Shantanu.

HI,
Please ensure that you have defined your fiscal year variant in OB29
correctly. It is necessary that:
1. the previous year has been maintained,
2. an entry for Dec 31 exists in each fiscal year,
3. the following fiscal year has been maintained.
Hope this helps.

Nitin

Fiscal Year Variant not Maintained

Hello All,
while creating asset master using AS01 T Code i am getting an error "Fiscal year "A3" Variant is not maintained for Financila year 2010 for Compnay Code 0600".
but i have configured Fical year variant and assigned to co code, i am able to post the transactions for all the periods i.e financial year 2010.
here my question is whether we need to maintain the Fiscal year variant separately for Asset accounting in ECC 6.0.
Please Suggest
Thanks
Shankar

hi,
please check the below path,
spro--Financial Accounting (New) -- Asset Accounting -- Valuation -- Fiscal Year -- Fiscal Year Variants -- Specify Other Versions on Company Code Level and Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level.
check the above path, is there any FY is assigned to your company code or Depreciation Area.
