Allow two fiscal periods

I have the following situation:
My company fiscal period now used is from Jan - Dec.
However my HQ uses fiscal period from Apr - Mar.
When we try to enter budget entry in Tcode 7KE1, KP06, FSE5, it only allows to process for half fiscal periods, ie Jan - June and Jul - Dec. However, I would like to maintain the figures for up to Mar the following year to meet my HQ reporting.
Is there anyway to maintain to fiscal year variants. One main and the other for reporting purposes?
regards
Shakeer

Hi Expert,
Your company fiscal period is using Fiscal Year - Jan - Dec - K4.
However your HQ wants to use Fiscal Year - Apr - Mar - V3.
Scenario - 1:
If you are using ECC6.0 Version, then just create one Non-Leading ledger for your HQ, which is to be assigned with Fiscal year - V3 and it leads to post the transaction parallel to the HQ Fiscal year.
Scenario - 2:
Use Special Purpose Ledger to use Fiscal Year - V3, which need to customize the Special Purpose ledger.

Two Fiscal Period in Infocube :? possible

Hi Experts
I have two fiscal variants one for weekly periods and other for monthly periods in R/3
In BW I want to do reporting on fiscal week and fiscal month .In BW we can use one fiscal variant in one infocube which determines the period whether it is weekly or monthly
But If your reporting requirement is to Report fiscal week and Fiscal month from one Infocube how to do that
Also I am aware of Function module who gives to 1st day of period based on first fiscal variant and then you can use this day and find out the second period based on second fiscal variant
but how to use these function modules as this convert one period into other period based on fiscal variant in a infocube as infocube will have one fiscal period

Customer exit to get the result in between two fiscal periods

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to write customer exit, in which i have to get the result for a range of fiscal periods,
that is in Between   fiscal period1 and fiscal period3,
and i am getting this Fiscal period from other variable called version in which it consists of combination of fiscalperiod and text
and now i have filtered the fiscal period and stored in Final_val ( this is an interger), but how can i use dynamically this Final_val to get the results in between Final_val1 and Final_val3 ( that means if the Final_val is 2008010 then i have to get the results in between 2008011 and 2009001).
Please provide me the solution, with the possible piece of code

Hi Diogo,
Here is the code
WHEN 'ZC_PVR'.
    DATA: FIN_YEAR(4) TYPE C,
          FIN_DATE(3) TYPE C,
          FIN_VAL(7) TYPE C.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LT_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZC_VCS'.
      IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
        CONCATENATE '20' LT_VAR_RANGE-LOW+2(2) INTO FIN_YEAR.
        CONCATENATE '0' LT_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(2) INTO FIN_DATE.
        CONCATENATE FIN_YEAR FIN_DATE INTO FIN_VAL.
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = FIN_VAL.
        L_S_RANGE-HIGH = ''.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
which i am using for Filter the fiscal period, after this when i tried to restrict on this "ZC_PVR" vairable and set the offset like
zc_pvr 1 to zc-pvr3 under value of ranges, but i am facing an error saying the " variable may be deleted or used incorreclty",
could u plz suggest

Offset on Fiscal Period

Hi
I am trying to compare Prior Year vs Current year revenues for a particular period. My input parameter is Fiscal period.
I have created two Restricted key figures.
First one is Revenue key figure restricted by Fiscal period. (User input period)
Second one is Revenue key figure restricted by Fiscal period with offset -12.
But I am getting same results in both columns though Cube has data for two fiscal periods.
For e.g. If user enter 007/2010 i need to see revenues for 007/2010 and 007/2009.
But i am getting revenues for 007/2010 in both columns.
Do I need to use Exit variables or will it work with Offset?
Thank you
Sree

Hello Sree,
I think you can easily get this by using structure for fiscal periods.
Try to visualize the query designer structure as:
Revenue
     Structure
           Fiscal period
           Fiscal period - 12
This will give you the output in format
Revenue
2010   2009

Query Fiscal Periods as numbers

Hi Experts,
I need to calculate de difference between two fiscal periods. As simple as that. So I created two formula variables for this.
Variable1
- Type: Formula
- Processing: Replacement path
- Ref.Char: 0FISCPER
- Replace with: Variable
- Variable: ZPERIOD (user input)
- Replace with: Key
- Currency/Unit: Number
Variable2
- Type: Formula
- Processing: Replacement path
- Ref.Char: 0MATERIAL__ZLNCHDATE (ZLNCHDATE was created with reference to 0FISCPER)
- Replace with: InfoObject
- Replace with: Key
- Currency/Unit: Number
But when I use the values in a formula to calculate de difference Variable1 - Variable 2 the fiscal periods are being interpreted as numbers, such as: 2011012 - 2009008 = 2004. Even when I display the variables in the report it is presenting 2.011.012 and 2.009.008 respectivelly.
I already tried to change variables Currency/Unit to 'Date' but it comes with '00.00.0000'.
Also I already tried with and without 0FISCVARNT = 'K4' in the query with no success.
Any suggestions?

Hi Marcelo,
This is in ABAP, convert to your BEx requirement.
REPORT YBW_FISCPER_DIFF.
data: fisp1 type /BI0/OIFISCPER,
      y1(4) type n,
      p1(3) type n,

fisp3 = 004/0002

Function module to find the fiscal periods

Hi Guys,
Please let me know if any of you are aware a function module which determines the fiscal periods between two dates.
(Begin and end dates.)
Thanks.

Hi Sai,
From your post, I understood that you want to find how many periods are there between two dates, right.
I am not sure whether there is a direct function module for this.
But you can try this.
Use the FM DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT to get the Fiscal Year and Period from a date. You have to input the date and Fiscal variant.
Using this you can determine the Fiscal year and Period for both the dates.
Then you can find the difference of these two Fiscal Periods.
This thread will be helpful for you to find the Difference of two fiscal periods
Urgent : Difference of two fiscal period
Hope this helps,

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.

Problem with BI-IP and Offsets in Fiscal Period/Year

Hi freinds,
I got a request that is linked to BI-IP and Query design.
The request is that the users should always see a complete year by Fiscal Periods (001.2010...012.2010).
Now the BI-IP should be dynamic. This means in 007.2010 the user should plan 008.2010...012.2010, the previous month are supposed to be the actuals.
Problem: I do not want to change the query each month in order to move the planning month. I tried to use an offset with 11 month actuals. Saying "current month/Year", -1,-2,...,-11 using 11 restricted key figures. Same I did for the planning month. I now limited the Data to 2010 in the filter and anywhere I could. However, the result columns are showing all 22 Month. 001.2010...007.2010 are the only once which carry data. all other columns are empty.
I just do not want to see the columns that do not belong to the current year.
Any ideas or How to's I can use?
Thanx and best regards
Joerg

Sorry, but I can't imagine how that should work.
I have two Cubes combined under a Multicube. One containing the Actuals and one for the Forecasts. To show the actuals I have to create a restricted key figure that shows the actuals and for the forecast I have to select differently.
What is the exit variable supposed to do? I could use a SAP Provided variable to find out about the first month and the actual month, but since it will be a restricted keyfigure it will be shown as sum between the two month. I need for each month of the year a column, and the "open" Month should be input ready. And this should be dynamic.
Thanks for helping
Joerg

How to capture the data if i am using two Fiscal year variant

Hi
My client is required need two type financial statement one is as per company act and calender year. Other one is company act and fiscal year.
regarding we have maintain two fiscal year variant one is assigned to company code as per calender yr other one is assigned to Spl.Pr G/L. but how to capture the financial data from company code in case we are using two fiscal yr variant.
Rekha

Hi
U cannot maintain two two fiscal year varaint for a company code in GL. As said by u maintain one fiscal year varaint for GL and the other one for FI SL. When u post FI document in GL automatically the same will flow into FI SL for the corressponding period.
For example ur Fiscal year varant is April to March in GL
and Callendar year in FI SL and u do a posting in April 1 (period 1) in GL then it post it to 4th period in FI SL automatically since April is the 4th period in FI SL since it uses K4 as the fiscal year variant.

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

Consolidating with fiscal periods and calendar periods

Hi, Does anyone have any information out there on how to configure the system to pull data for fiscal period for some companies and calendar period for other companies? Or any horror stories about trying to do it that way.
Thanks.

Stacy,
For consolidation as a whole only one fiscal year variant is allowed. However, there is possibility of collecting data of different fiscal year variant and using appropriate currency translation rates as per that units fiscal year variant.
For example, if you have consolidation fiscal year variant as 31st March ending and you have one unit X as fiscal year variant 31st december ending, in this case the 12th period data of consolidation unit X will be translated using exchange rate as on 31st dec and not as on 31st March.
Hope this might be helpful to you...though no direct response to your question.

Macro to Unlock the Cell on the start day of the Fiscal period

Dear Experts
We are using fiscal periods for the forecasting.1 period = 15 days.We forecast for 24 fiscal periods.
We only give chance to some customers to update forecast on 1 day of the fiscal period in the customer planning book .In this regard we have to lock the cell all most all the days except on 1 st day of the fiscal period.If the first of the Fiscal period is Sunday or Saturday, system should not unlock.
We did not maintained any Time stream ID to the storage bucket profile.
Example:
KF1 is used by our customers to update forecast.This keyfigure should always in the unedit mode.On the first day of the Fiscal period system should unlock the keyfigure.If first day of the period is saturday or sunday then system should not unlock this keyfigure.
Can we use calender in Macro?
Is it possible to achieve above logic in our case since we did not maintained time stream ID in storage bucket profile.
Please give your expertise opinion on my requirment.
regards
Vicky

Hi Vicky,
Whilst other simpler options are given by others for locking /unlocking a KF with macros, Work around as below, if feasible in your environment.
Create two planning books (or with authorization at data view level, 2 data views).
One planning book PB1 with the KF1 in non-edit mode. This will be used normally.
Other planning book PB2 with KF1 in edit mode.
Create one more authorization profile/ role for each customer user.
Assign this additional authorization profile/ role only on specific dates as per background job to give additional authorizations.
Otherwise, if no. of user licenses is not an issue, then create an additional user id for each of the customer with additional authorizations and unlock these additional user accounts only on specific dates by background jobs.
We had in one project, some additional user accounts for similar( not exactly same) requirement. This gave better traceability.

Creating backdated invoices after last date of fiscal period

Hello experts
In our business, it is a rule to keep the billing period open for two days even after the last day of the fiscal period. For example,
P10 ends on 29/10/2011, but that period is not closed until 31/10/2011(P11 date) so that the users can create all the invoices for that month. Please note that period 11 is not opened till 1/11/2011 (after closing p10).
Now,order related invoices are created thru an interface program. The user only sends in the "service date" which is mapped to the fixed value date field in SAP and we have defaulted the system date as the billing date to enable posting. The problem arises for the invoices created on the two days mentioned above as the invoices will not post into accounting if the billing date is 30/10 and 31/10 as P11 is not open yet.
How do i make sure that invoices created on the two month end days post into accounting with a billing date of 29/10 (a P10 date)? I can use the FM- FI_PERIOD_CHECK to check if the billing date is in the open period, but how do i populate the billing date field as an open period date automatically without manually changing it for all the invoices that have not posted?
The service date sent in has to be mapped to the fixed value date field because of aging purposes.
Would appreciate your valuable help here.
Thanks

Hi,
Function module FI_PERIOD_CHECK can be included in the program to check if the fiscal period is open or not.
Discuss with the ABAPER and include logic that in case the fiscal period is not open the default date should not be system date. Instead another date which is calculated using the FM - CALCULATE_DATE.
In the FM- CALCULATE_DATE give the logic how the date should be calculated.
Discuss with ABAPER for this.

Sharan
