Adding fiscal year

Hi,
Facing the error in BI Fiscal Year 2014 is not accepting. Error: Value "2014" for variable "financial year" is invalid. Please guide me how to add fiscaly year 2014.

Hi Subhash,
This looks to be functional issue but still will try to provide guidelines.
Please check existing functional year configuration. Some configurations I have seen its with period.year
For eg: if it is 4th period within Fiscal year 2014, entry would look like "04.2014".
Also you may check what is the field size for Fiscal year. This may give you some additional hint.
Hope this helps.

Text variable for Fiscal year/period

Hi gurus,
We are on BI 7.0 (PL 15). In G/L i am using the standard 0FISCPER text variable 0T_FPERF in the columns, which should e.g. produce the text "04.2008".
However instead it displays "4 .0800". Adding Fiscal year/period 0FISCPER to drilldown shows a correct format in the rows "APR.2008", so the problem seems to be only with the text variables.
I have checked on a reference 7.0 system where the same variable is working fine, so i assume that some fix must be available. Any hints as to what should be performed to correct this display error?

Hello Jamspam,
I had a similiar problem with indicators in BEX. I had an numerical indicator that displays me value in a very weird way.
My solution was to upgrade my frontend, with SAP Business Explorer patch.
Have you got the latest BEX patch (or others) on your frontend? No guarantees that will solve your case, but for me it worked

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 year closing error

Dear Expert,
When I was trying to run AJAB to close fiscal year 2007 and I got an error message
"The planned depreciation was not completely posted to Financial Accounting for asset 017000000000-0000 in company code 0011 in depreciation area 01u201D
Actually this asset is goodwill, it was created in year 2007 and amortized for one year but in year 2008 due to IFRS not allow to amortize goodwill so the depreciation key was changed to "0000" no depreciation.
When I try AFAB for this particular asset for period 12 for 2007 and I got message that it can only be run in period 13. So I change the period to 13 and I see a report for depreciation to be posted. Under the planned column is 0, posted column is the accumulated depreciation figures and to be posted is a reverse amount of the posted column. This means it will reverse the accumulated depreciation of year 2007.
What's worng with it? This goodwill should be depreciated in year 2007 and only 2008 not to be depreciated? Any way can go directly to the table and change the figures so that no posting is needed?
I am using SAP R/3 4.6C
thank you
max

Max,
Shall I suggest you a way to handle this situation? Please go ahead and check the "Shut Down" Indicator after adding an interval with the date beginning 2008.
Use T-code AS02, go to Time-dependent. Click on Add Interval under More Intervals and add the beginning date of FY2008. Then check the Asset Shut down indicator. You can change the Depr key back to the old one. See the results of this change in AW01N.
The reason why the system is reversing the depr already posted is that you have selected the depr key 0000, which means no depreciation throughout life.
Please revert in case you have any questions.
Regards,
Vinod

Switch to changeove method occuring in next fiscal year instead of next per

In configuration of depriciation keys, changeover method 5 (changeover after end of planned useful life) is used, but problem is switch to changeover method occurs in first period of next fiscal year, instead of immediate next period after the end of useful life of the asset,
e.g. useful life of asset expires in the month of Jun'07, so we expect the changeover to happen in Jul'07, but in SAP it is switching to changeover method in the next fiscal year i.e. Apr'08 (Fiscal Year is Apr-Mar). Following are screen images for your reference:
can any please help me. It is urgent.
Regards,
Jyoti

In case of Change over method you must have added another record in the Depreciatin key with all new Base Method, Decl. Bal. Mehtod etc., check whether all are maintained correctly.
If the above are maintained correctly check your period control given in the Depreciation Key you might have used 08 period control in your Period Control Method

Version 0 is not defined for fiscal year 2012.

Hello Experts,
While am tring to release a work order, i am getting the below error.
Version 0 is not defined for fiscal year 2012.
Message no. GP626
Diagnosis
The version 0 is not defined in controlling area DE06 for the fiscal year 2012.
You have to maintain the fiscal year-dependent version parameters for all actual versions for which multiple valuation is updated.
System Response
The version 0 cannot be used for fiscal year 2012.
Procedure
Maintain the fiscal year-dependent version parameters for the version 0.
Execute function
By this what i understood is we need to change the Settings for each fiscal year for the version 0 in controlling area DE06.
i.e. we need to add the fiscal year 2012 in that.
Is this correct????
If yes what will be the impact of adding 2012 in that screen?
i think its a soft config only.
Please let me know the correct process
Thanks in Advance,
Satya

Version 0 is not defined for fiscal year 2015.
What to do next ? Please help with it.

Texts for Fiscal Year Period

Hi all
We are currently using Fiscal Year Variant Z6(July - June, 4 special periods).
When we display the texts for Fiscal Year Period in a Query it displays as CALMONTH FISCYEAR. E.g. July 2004, which is FISCPER 01.2004 but Calmonth 07.2003 (July 2003). I want the texts to display as the correct calendar year month, not as a combination of calendar month with the fiscal year.
I have tried to maintain the texts of 0FISCPER, but I get the following message "The master data table of char. 0FISCPER is not generated, operation terminated"
Has anyone managed to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Chami

Chami,
I see the problem. The Year Part of the Text is wrong.
Unfortunately this means that Fiscal Year cannot be used to display the texts.
The solution to your problem is to have the description from the calendar month/year in the column headings by adding the calendar period to the data target, convert the fiscal period to calendar period on data loading (using provided date conversion functions in the formula builder) and use it for display purposes. The fiscal year is still used as selection criteria (as a filter)
The other solution is to have text variables created from the Calendar period and used in the column headings
Hope that helps!

Diffrent Fiscal year Variant ?

Hello Friends
For the different company codes using the same controlling area must have same fiscal year variant.
But in my scenario 1 company code having period from jan to dec and another having period from April to march
Pls suggest me how we can do that?If not is there any otherway of solving this issue?
I need your suggestions
Thanks

Hi,
the best documentation is the <a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/da/6ada3889432f48e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">online documentation at help.sap.com</a>
From your point of view, the most important things are:
1. Define a table group in transaction GCIN. Include all fields in object table 1 that you want to report on (with the different fiscal year variant). If this is a legal requirement as I suppose, then you probably only need the GL account (RACCT) field. You may require other fields as well, depending on your requirements.
2. After the table group is defined, you have to check and install it. Installation means here the new table group is added to the Special Ledger environment, i.e., it is added to many customizing tables + lots of standard ABAP code is regenerated.
3. Now you can create a ledger for your new summary table (this is one of the 4 or 5 tables in your new table group). in transaction GCL1. You should assign the company code where the alternate fiscal year variant must be used to the new ledger. Obviously, you should change the fiscal year variant in the assignment screen to the alternate one (the default would be tha FYV that you have assigned to your company code in OBY6 , this is the controlling area's FYV as well).
4. Then you have to asign "activities", or "business transactions" to the ledger/company code combination. Use the button "Activities like GL" here to make sure all relevant items are transferred to your ledger. That would be about 30 activities. Each of them require a "field movement rule" assigned, but the same rule can be used for all, so you have to create it only once. The best way to do it directly from here (you are still in GCL1), by clicking F4 and when the message comes, no entries found, you can start creating it. The field movement rule is nothing else than the rules how fields of the original (FI, MM, SD) documents are transferred to the fields in your FI-SL table. You can check out the proposal button here. RACCT should be populed from HKONT, the rest is I think obvious.
Back to GCL1, you have to set the posting indicator for each activity (business transaction) to 3. This makes sure online data transfer and subsequent data transfer both are possible.
5. Save your work.
6. Then you can start transaction GCU1 and take over all documents available in FI to your special ledger (if you have some postings already) . Or you can post a new document and check if it was transferred (it should). Example: in FI (fiscal year variant April to March) you post a document with posting date 01.April 2007. This is period 1 in FI then. The same document is transferred for period 4 in the SPL.
7. You can use the Report Painter / Report Writer tools to report your data. ALso you can consider report RFBILA10, which is almost the same as well-known RFBILA00, only that it can display data from a special purpose ledger.
Hope that helps, points welcome

You have not maintained a rule for the fiscal year variant

1) I have Fiscal Year Variant in the Cube ( it got added along with fiscal year ) but there is no Fiscal year variant in the datasource & when I dont map it Transformation activation prompts error " You have not maintained a rule for the fiscal year variant ".
Can I just delete Fiscal year variant from the cube..does it matter?
2) Fiscal year & Posting Period can be populated from Fiscal Period, is the vice versa possible..? Does the sytem will take care of the conversion..?

1. no, you should not delete and you cannot delete fiscal year variant from cube, it's required by fiscal year/ period (compound infoobject), you should add it in your datasource, or you can map with a constant value e.g K4
2. yes, fiscal period can be populated by posting period
some info on time characteristic relationtionship

Calendar and Fiscal year calc

We have a system which has 2 time hierachies. The primary calendar is the fiscal calendar (Apr - March)
We load data on a YTD fiscl year format
The issue:
On a calendar year a revenue/expense accout has activity of 100 each month an a periodic basis come April the beginning of the fiscal year we load 100 YTD on a fiscal basis, therefore, a fiscal period reflects 100 both YTD and periodic.basis.
On a calendar yea,r however, we see 100,100,100 on a periodic view for j/f/m for a YTD value of 300. When we load the YTD of 100 for April we see a periodic view of (200) vs the 100 the client wants to see on both calendars.
Short of loading 2 files (1 for each calendar) how can I get the right totals?
I have added a snippet from my time hier if that help
Thanks

Hi Bwer,
   I think FISCPER is more granular than the fiscalyear. If you are having data at fiscper level, what is need of maitaining at fiscal year level...??
   If you want one year data you can restrict againest the all the periods in the year.
Hope it Helps

About fiscal year

HI,
There is one query regarding fiscal year. In our report we made fiscal year variants as a compounding object in fiscal year info-object.
So that when we check data in report that with respect to fiscal year variant, data comes in different column.
Like if fiscal year variant is K4 and BW then there will be different column for some particular key-figure.
But i want these value in one column. It can be possible, if i remove compounding object (fiscal year variants ) from fiscal year,
but i can't do this becoz this fiscal year is used in other query also.
So can i create some different info-object for fiscal year in which fiscal year variants should not used as a compounding object.
But value of fiscal year should come with respect to fiscal year variants.
Thanks
Devesh Babu

Hi,
Put Fiscal year variant in the rows. Now create a formula and add all key figures which display data for diff fisc variants, like KF1 might display data for K4, KF2 might display data for V3, etc. Add KF1 + KF2 in the formula and hide the individual KF. But you should have fisc variant in rows, otherwise the data would be wrongly added.
Best Regards,
Murali.

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
Rao

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.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Multiple Fiscal Year Variant in the same client in SEM-BCS...

I have already looked at some earlier threads relating to this but didn't get a convincing answer to what I would like to know.
We have had a working SEM-BCS system with fiscal year variant K4. There was no need for defining leading fiscal year variant and none was defined. SAP, by default takes, K4 as the leading fiscal year variant.
Now there is a requirement for going on a different fiscal year variant for which we have created another databasis (there were a few other reasons besides these) with the same InfoObjects that we used earlier but with different fixed parameters, one of which is fisc year variant V9. Soon, we started experiencing bizarre dumps in the configuration which ultimately convinced me to define a leading fiscal year variant. I was reluctant to do so because there is a lot of old data (which will become 'historical' from new data basis point of view) from the working system on K4 that would still need to be reported on even when we have new BCS solution in the new fiscal year variant V9. That is not going away. There is a need to keep the old data for reporting (hence the rationale for a different data basis among a few others).
Since earlier Master Data was configured in the old fisc year variant K4, now I have defined the leading fiscal year variant as V9 so that MDF can appropriately identify the period dependency.
I would like to know if any of you have had an unexpected behavior from the system going forward. Does the system dump out when you try to read the old data (from earlier K4).
I have tried to explain the dilemma as clearly and succinctly as possible but if you need more clarifications, please do let me know.
I would really appreciate your help in this.

Is your requirement is that K4 to be changed to Z5.
The best way you can do it is in the transformation. Instead of directmapping,
Write a code like this in the trransformation to the cube
If SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR eq 'k4'.
SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR = 'Z5'.
I dont think we can change th data in the query being displayed. we can change the keyfigure values in query by frmulas etc...
but for a characteristic, i think we will be able to restrict bt not change the value.
to obtain the requirement, w have to get the data change before query designer that is in the cube leve.
Hope this helps,
Sri...

Import fixed assets in middle of fiscal year 2013

Hi,
I like to import several fixed assets in middle of fiscal year 2013. The attached file works fine but when I then look at the depreciation months, I see the depreciation for the complete year of 2013. But when I set the start depreciation date in the import file set to 2013-11-01 the import is not working anymore because of wrong calculation of lifetime.
How can I import this fixed asset with start depr date set to 2013-11-01 and only the last 2 months (Nov and Dec) need an depreciation for 2013??
And not also the previous months !!!
Thanks again.
Mark

Hi Mark,
Import FA with depreciation start date as 2014/01/01 and run the depreciation for the said two months by doing an journal entry. Depreciation is calculated for a whole year.
