Can we close Fiscal Year for Assets without posting Depreciation?

Hi All,
My client has 11 Company Codes. During the year end activity, I closed the FY of Assets for 10 Co. codes (T.code AJAB) and 1 is pending as depreciation is not posted for some assets yet. The client wants me to close the FY for assets without posting the depreciation.
Can anyone guide me on following doubts:
1. Is it possible to Close FY for assets without posting depn?
2. If YES, then what can be the adverse consequences of it?
3. If NO, then what is the alternative reply I can give to my client?
I hope the above info. is sufficient.
Regards
Amarendra

Hi All,
Finally I got the solution. I had to do some off track adjustment which might not be allowed otherwise. After getting that confirmation from the client that:
1. They want to post zero values towards Depreciation for the year 2007 &
2. After closing the year, later on there wont be any adjustments for the closed FY 2007
When client gave me above confirmation i did following steps:
1.Note down the Current Depreciation Key of the asset
2.Change the current depreciation key to u201C0000 - No depreciation and no interestu201D (TC: AS02)
3.Close the fiscal year 2007 (TC: AJAB)
4.Change the u201COrdinary Depreciation Startu201D date to 01.04.2008 for ALL the Depreciation Areas of that asset (AS02)
5. Restore the Depreciation Keys of the assets as per the step 1 (TC: AS02)
6.Open New Fiscal Year 2009 (TC: AJRW)
So now the depreciation will be calculated from 01.04.2008 and no values are posted towards depreciation for the year 2007.
Off course in the normal course of time above solutions are useful.
Regards,
Amarendra

In depreciation area target group assigned as IN
for IN ledger Group ledgers assigned to 0L and IG.
please help me
Usefull answers duly rewarded
thanks in advance

You have to assign them to the depreciation areas and not to the company code.
Before doing this test and understand what are the consequents from you requirements!!
When you do quarterly depreciation then you dates perhaps 31.03.**** 30.06.***** ..........
Then the depreciation is posted in FI for 31.03.**** in period 03 or 04 dependent from your FI calendar!!
For me I don't see a reason to it quarterly and not by period. perhaps the old system did.
The only reason to us a different calendar is for fiscal reason and then mostly in combination with parrallel ledgers if FI

Thanks
Supriya

Hi
Please note
I you change the transfer date to current FY date , system will not allow u to upload data in PY.
See the below
Transfer Date
This date determines the status of posting to be used for the
transfer (posting up to this date will be included in the transfer), not
the actual date the data transfer is carried out. This specification
also determines whether you want to perform the transfer during the
fiscal year (with transfer of posted transactions/depreciation in the
current fiscal year) or at the end of the fiscal year (without
transactions).
If the transfer date is not the last day of the fiscal year (according
to the fiscal year variant in FI), the system interprets this as
transfer during the fiscal year. The system cannot transfer any
historical transactions. It can only transfer cumulative values from the
end of the last fiscal year, and the transactions in the current fiscal
year (the second is only possible for transfer during the fiscal year).
Example
transfer date = December 31, 1997
=> last closed fiscal year = 1997
Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
    You must specify the period up to which depreciation was posted in the previous
    system. This period refers to the posted depreciation that is to be
    transferred during old assets data takeover.

Creation of shortend Fiscal year for the Merger of two Companies.

Company 'A'is getting Merged with the Company 'B' on 15th February 2010. Company 'A' is suppose to submit all the financial details to the Company 'B' on 15th February 2010, furthermore the users with the Company 'A' should not be allowed to post any transactions after 15th February 2010.(Max they should be given 10 days grace period for closing the financial year)
The current fiscal year for the Company 'A' is from April to March. However, as per the above mentioned scenario it is required to have fiscal year from April to February.i.e. a shortened fiscal year.
Please note that Company 'A' is using the version 4.7.
Steps we have already proceeded with
1. we created a Shortened fiscal year "Z1"from April to Feb 2010 (Monthly basis) wherein we have taken only 15 days for the month of Feb 2010.
2. we have created an another Shortened fiscal year(weekly basis) wherein we have taken six weeks as posting period.
3.We assigned the Fiscal year Variant to the company code.
4.After assigning when we want to check the details of the assets in the Asset explorer AW01N.the system is reflecting an error "
SYST: Error when calculating first day in fiscal period > F1
Message no. AA654
Please provide us with the solution for the above mentioned scenario.
Thanks and Regards,
Tejprakash Chaurasia.

Hey,
I am facing a similar scenario at my client place, thought if i could get insights on how you resolved the issue identified...
We are yet to configure the shortened fiscal year settings.
Thanks

Differing Fiscal year for Accounting & Tax purposes

What procedure needs to be followed in ECC 6.0 when the fiscal year for accounting purposes and the fiscal year for taxation purposes are different.
For Accounting - Jan to Dec: For taxn - April to March.
How to accomplish the same?
One should not extract two different financials and merge it manually. Is there any other way out?

Hi Smurthi
If my understanding is right - Your company books fiscal year is Jan to Dec and for country like India the tax book is to be maintained from April to March
If this is what you are in need off - its very well possible using Special Purpose Ledger.
Once this is configured - you will have two books as the period stated above.
Any transaction posted in SAP will go to your regular book and special purpose ledger.
At this point if you open any posted document using FB03 etc - go to the Environment -> Document Environment -> Accounting Document - you can see the Special purpose ledger document also
Warm Regards

Should Fiscal Year be derived from posting date for sales stat cube

Greetings,
Is it common to derive FY from posting date of the invoice for the sales stat cube. We have the standard SAP datasource 0UC_SALES_STATS_02 to extract billing information from ECC. On the BI side, the FY is derived from posting date in the transformation before it reaches the target (i.e. cube). Is this derivation common
Thank you in advance for your response.
Behnaz

Hi,
You can derive the Fiscal Year from the posting period and it not uncommon to see this.

Year End Close Fiscal year/Asset End Closing

Dear FI Experts,
User ran t.code F.16 fiscal year balance carry forward, before running AJAB for Year End asset accounting. Per my knowledge SAp requires to do AJAB prior of closing assets. Do I have to reverse fiscal year balance carry forward and go in order?
Thank You for your comments

Yes frank,
GL closing should be carried only after all the sub ledgers are closed
for asset closing
you should open the new fiscal year first (AJRW) and then close the existing fiscal year. (AJAB)
otherwise FI-AA and Fi-GL may not reconcile (use tcode ABST2 to check this)

Can we setup a 13 period fiscal year for 2010 only, using the same variant

We currently have a fiscal year running from October. We have been taken over by a new comany who want our fiscal year to run from November. It has been decided that year 2010 will contain 13 periods.
Can someone help with how to set this up in OB29.
The current settings are for 12 normal periods and 4 special periods. Therefore it will not allow 13 periods to be setup in 2010. However, if I change the number of normal periods in the variant to 13 then there is a message saying that there are gaps in the other fiscal years which are not 2010.
What is the correct way to deal with the extra month? We are currently in 2010 which started in October and we don't want FY 2011 to start until November.
Thank you
Karen

Thank you for your reply, but the problem is that we want to add a 13th period.
The setup we have is as below.
1     29     4     0
2     26     5     0
3     26     6     0
4     30     7     0
5     28     8     0
6     25     9     0
7     30     10     0
8     27     11     0
9     30     12     0
10     29     13     0
11     27     1     +1
12     24     2     +1
12     31     3     +1
This is working fine to find October as period 13 when we use function DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT, but there is an error in the setup saying 'Only define periods until 12'. When we try to run function LAST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET this crashes saying fiscal year variant not found for 2010.
There is a setting in the fiscal year variant which says
Calendar yr     2010 No.posting periods   12   No.special periods 4
For 2010 only we want this to be 13 periods. Is this possible?
Thank you
Karen

AJAB : close fiscal year

Hi All,
We tried closing FY. Though the close was carried out successfully, the Line items shows: 0. Can any one tell me what it means?? and is it normal
Thanks

Hi:
For instance you closed Year 2010 AJAB and you getting this value 0, is there something written in Note area...In order to ensure that Fiscal year change has been done successfully in co code you can try with simple posting to any asset for your co code. If system lets you enter the asset , this means fiscal year change has been made and vice versa.
