Open and Close periods/Fiscal years

Dear All
We are in the process of FM-BCS implementation, we observed thre is transaction code (FMOPER) for open the Budget periods. This is working for Budget workbech (FBMM) only. But at the time of Actual Postings even period is not open in FMOPER system is allowing for actual postings.
Kindly suggest where we can control actual postings through period open/cose option in FM-BCS.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rao,
You need to be aware of all the impact of the use of PBET (Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking) before activating it in transaction OF39. This is not a simple change, it impacts all your integrated postings that come from all other areas (FI, CO, MM, SD) into FM.
You cannot use any FM update date other than the POSTING date when PBET is active.
One common error when you activate PBET is FI_E050 - Posting date/period 00/00/0000 is earlier than existing
date/period 00/00/0000.
If you want updating to take place on the delivery date, you must return profile to Fiscal Year Based (non-PBET) updating.
This step will also eliminate the error FI_E050.
Part of the basic PBET logic, aims at recording a detailed change history of every single document in FM.
For more details on this, please also refer to the program documentation and chapter Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Recording Actual and Commitment Data -> Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking.
The standard functionality when PBET is active is to use the system date as the FM posting date. However, you do have 3 options to overwrite this:
Document Creation:
1.- Version Management (PR/PO)
2.- FM updating date is the document posting date.
Document Change:
1.- System use FM_TRANS_DATE date as FM updatign date, if this date is not filled, system use system date as FM updating date.
If customer want to change this logic, the FM updating date is decided by one of the following three steps, in order shown.
- Version Management (PR/PO): Posting date of version
- Transaction FMOD to override the update date by user
- Activate user exit EXIT_SAPLFMFA_004 so that a popup screen is
displayed that permits entering the FM posting date, you could
manually set the date found in the document header to a later date.
- you could manually set the date found in the document header to a
later date (System date SY_DATUM).
PBET is Periodic-based encumbrance tracking and it is a function that monitors encumbrances per period, with a change record issued for each change made within a period. This function belongs to Funds Management Area (PSM-FM).
If PBET is active, system does not allow posting to a date earlier than the present date, you will receive error FI_E050 in case this is not satisfied. Follow are two comments form the code which indicate same:
"No new dates can be earlier than the original or new account assignment line items".
"Ensure that new fm update dates are not older than original date or if a change, this change must be latest date in document"
To use or not to use PBET is customer decision and this impact that the period is verified more strictly than without PBET. Maybe you should consider with your consultant if using PBET is the best solution for your business processes.

Vanessa.

Payment term and financial calendar (fiscal year variant)

Does anyone know if it is it possible to link the payment terms to the financial calendar. We are looking to use a payment term Month End + 30. However the month end should be the financial month end instead of the calendar month.
Appreciate any suggestions
Thanks

FI analyst

A number of vendors require a single payment to be made in first week after fiscal month-end.
Currently, you can only use payment terms based on calendar month-end and this is causing problems in months where fiscal month-end ends in next calendar month.
Example: April. Period 04
Calendar month end 30th April
Financial month end 02 May
Payment terms ME05 (month end + 5) - docs posted in April will fall due 5th May
however,
Should be 7th May

"No Fiscal Year Variant assinged to consolidation unit" error for 3EC_CS_1A

Hi,
I'm getting following extraction error using RSA3 for datasource 3EC_CS_1A in R3 (4.7) system. Could someone shed some ideas on how to fix it.
No fiscal year variant assigned to consolidation unit 0000000000000000XX.
same error is coming for all consolidation units.
I checked ECMCT table and it has records in it.
I went to "Consolidation unit change" using CX1N and found out that above consolidation unit has our customer defined "standard fiscal year variant assigned" for the corresponding ledger listed in ECMCT.
What else might be missing & how to fix it. same error in both DEV & QAS. Appreciate any inputs

No fiscal year variant specified - error upon DSO activation

In my DSO I need 2 fiscal periods - document day period and payment day period. For the first I use 0FISCPER IObj, for the second I've created CFISCPER (with a reference characteristic 0FISCPER).
CFISCPER has 0FISCVARNT as compounding.
There some occasions then I got payment date, but no document date (prepayment cases). As a result I got NULL value on 0FISCVARNT and error "No fiscal year variant specified" upon activation.
I've tried to create CFISVAR (with a 0FISCVARNT as reference characteristic) but BI doesn't let me switch 0FISCVARNT to CFISVAR in compounding for CFISCPER.
How can I deal this? Maybe there is some option in DSO?
thanx in advance. points will be awarded

Hello,
If you have create payment day period(CFISCPER) as a reference to 0FISCPER, then Fiscal year variant's infomation must be provided.
you can fixed the 0FISCVARNT for the case of no document date using a formula in the transformation,
eg. IF(0FISCVARNT<>'',0FISCVARNT,'K4')
hope it can help.

Use of different fiscal year variant in leading&non leading ledgers and Asset closing&Reporting

Experts,
Need one clarification on using different fiscal year variants for Leading(0L)&non Leading(NL) Ledgers and impact on Fixed Asset Accounting.If I use say V6(Jan2013-Dec2013) for Leading Ledger and April2013-March2014 for non leading Ledger,(local GAAP)-please clarify the following.
1.Does Asset Accounting gives all standard reports as expected in both(Leading&Locals) the Depreciation areas?Do we need to any settings specially for in the above scenario?(I am assuming point#4 given below may not help for this as system gives an error if both the fiscal year variants have different start&end dates)
2.How is Year end in Asset Accounting handled?If I close the year end in Asset Accounting for Company Code as per Leading Ledger i.e say by Dec 2013,can I still post the asset entries in non leading ledger?Because Financial year for Leading ledger will be 2014 and non leading will be still 2013(in Jan2014).
3.I am aware SAP has some restrictions way back in 2005-2007 (SAP note 844029) for different fiscal year variants in Leading&Non Leading Ledgers,Does SAP come out with any solution later?
4.What is the exact use of the settings at Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>>Fiscal year>>Fiscal year variants at company code level or Depreciation area level?My understanding here is,they are not meant for using different fiscal year variant with different start&end dates but they are meant for using different fiscal year variant with same START&END DATES and have different number of posting periods i.e 1 can have 12 and other can have 13.
Please can you give your comments?
regards
hinfi

Hi Hinfi,
It seems standard SAP does not manage different fiscal year variants (at least with different start/end dates) in different depreciation areas.
However, they came up with an add-on solution called Multiple Calendar Tool and based on a mirroring solution that synchronizes asset transactions in a mirror company code.
It's all explained in following notes:
Note 1175751 - Project solution for alternative fiscal year variant
Note 1636025 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool 1.0_ SP Note
Note 1658489 - Installation of Asset acctg multi calendar 1.0 software
Note 1658714 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool_ Overview Note
Note 1691481 - Release strategy_ Asset acctg multi calendar tool
Note 1951069 - Different fiscal year variants in General Ledger Accounting (New) (NewGL) under the new Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL)
I don't know if it's commonly used and personnaly have no feedback on it. I was curious to check how to manage a depreciation area 01 posted in a leading ledger in US GAAP (FYV january to december) and another depreciation posted in a non leading ledger in Indian GAAP (FYV april to march).

Hi Gurus
I was going through this thread and came up some more questions in my mind.
1. Do we need to set Fiscal Year, Fiscal Varient settings once for all in BW ? ( The path is given in one of the thread above ) need to know if this is one time setting / rebuilding the tables. what will happen when we select and execute factory calender and Fiscal Varient and Rebuild tables in transfer global setting ? Is this one time we have to do for whole BW system?
2. when we go to SCAL t-code what we need to do and what it do in the system ? I know its for Factory calender but just want to know what it does. It it also for one time during BW build phase ?
3. How can we link Factory calender and Fiscal year? IS it thro Fiscal varient ?
Pl help me to clear this doubt,thanks in advance.

Closing Cockpit: Different Fiscal Year Variant in Task List

Dear All,
I want to implement the closing cockpit for several bukrs who have different fiscal year variants. I have definied one template for all bukrs. When creating a task list I only have the possibility to define one fiscal year variant for the selection variables. I could use my own selection variables from TVARV but nonetheless when choosing the template/task list the fiscal year variant is shown "wrong" for some of the bukrs. I do not want to design a template for each fiscal variant. Are there any ways to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
Cathrine

Hi,
I am afraid this is not possible. Please see the SAP notes
152888 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA
1493253 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA (II)
There are a restrictions for different fiscal year variants in asset accounting. This also applies to NewGL. There is a workaround with another depreciation area but I have never tried it.
Kind Regards,
Steffen

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 ?

Funds Management and Fiscal Year Variant Change

Hello !
We are configuring a new fiscal year variant.
Currently, the system is on a CALENDAR YEAR FY variant and we are doing the following:
1. creating a shortened FY of Jan 2009 - Mar 2009
2. new fiscal year from April 2009 - Mar 2010
We are trying to change the FY variant for Funds Management via OF15 but receive the error FI674.
FI674:
You must not change the fiscal year variant in Cash Budget Management or Funds Management for FM area FM01 if actual data already exists for FM area FM01, or if one or more of the company codes assigned to FM area FM01 is active.
We have found oss note 719597 which details how to change the FY variant for Cash Budget Mgmt, but it does not apply to Funds management.
I could find no other supporting documentation.
Can anyone guide us as to how to deal with this issue?
Thank=you !

Hello Patti,
The point is that it is not possible to change fiscal year variant if actual values exists.
You are trying to do a change in January. You probably have some postings in 2009 already.
In the area of PSM-FM there is no note like 719597 of TR-CB.
Only if no actual values exist, this customizing change would be possible and reasonable.
If you are doing this setting in your customizing client, you can delete the postings (please DO NOT do it if you are in production) that exist in 2009 and try again.
SAP do not recommend to change a Fiscal Year Variant that has already been assigned to a company code and has already some postings. This may create database inconsistencies.
You can create another Fiscal Year Variant with the information that you want to be customize, and this variant you will be able to assign to a company code. Before you assign this new variant to a company
code please be sure that none of the information that you already posted in this company code will be affected, this information you may review it with your consultant on-site.
Also please review/apply note 173636, 202687, 10945, 193713, 123026, 210861 which may happen in your system.
The fiscal period is related to the posting date via the fiscal year variant. E.g.: I you do a posting on 5.5.2009 it will be posted e.g. in period 5 for fiscal year variant 'A'. This period is not only used in the document header table (BKPF,VBRK,MKPF ...) but also in several balance table (GLT0, KNC1 ...) not only in FI but also in SD, MM, CO .... If in the new fiscal year variant 'B' this posting date is related to another period e.g. 7 the relation between documents and Periods and balances will be destroyed.
The problem will be enhanced if the posting-date would be related to diffrent fiscal years.
In addition several reports in AP/AR and GL reread period-depend data by selecting the posting-date regardless of the period in the document because it's not normal practise to change the fiscal year variant of a company code.
Some of the involved issues are:
- FM actuals and commitments may need to be reconstructed if their period- (or even fiscal year-) assignments is changed.
- FM actuals/commitments can not be reconstructed if fiscal year change activities have already been performed (commitment carry forward, FMJ1, FMJ2).
- Budgeting data and assigned values may principally be concerned as well, especially if you are working with period values in budgeting.
The change of fiscal year variant has several implications and should be analyzed very carefully.
Please check note below for more information:
Note 672255 Shortened fiscal year / changing fiscal periods
I hope it helps you and good luck
Best Regards,
Vanessa.
