Changing Fiscal Calendars in APO 4.0

All,
We need to change our Fiscal Period in APO.  When we make this change, do I have to copy the data to a backup cube, change the fiscal calendar, and then reload the data back into DP?
I am on SCM 4.0.  We will be going to SCM 5.0 in February.  Will it be easier to make this change once we are on 5.0?  Or will the same process have to happen in 5.0 that is necessary in 4.0?

Hi Monty,
Changing the Fiscal Period (Fiscal Year Variant) in APO is only possible when the Fiscal Period is not assigned to any Time Bucket or Storage Bucket Profile. This means you need to extract the data in the Planning Area to a cube, deactivate the time series, unassign the Fiscal Year Variant before you can change the Fiscal Year variant.
I am not sure if SCM 5.0 has made this process simpler. You need to check the Release Notes.
Also please note there is a separate forum for SAP Advanced Planning & Optimization (SAP APO) now.
Thanks,
Somnath

  • Rep deseign question-- changing from (W_DAY_D) to Fiscal Calendar (M_CAL %

    I am trying to find out some information on Rep design for a customer. The question is, for a given RPD file, with Dim - Date Dimension that is pointing to W_DAY_D (default Calendar Data), can the Source in RPD for Dim - Date Dimension be changed to Fiscal? Meaning, changing from (W_DAY_D) to Fiscal Calendar (M_CAL % tables).
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Hi Ignacio,
    I am going to assume that you are referring to the tables W_MCAL_DAY_D and W_DAY_D from the BI Apps OBAW data warehouse.
    In my humble opinion, there are three main things (and whole bunch of minor things) you want to consider when you change out table sources.
    1) Make sure that the grains are the same. In your case, the table grains are both at the day level, so you are fine there.
    2) Make sure that you can map the primary key to the primary key. In this case W_MCAL_DAY.MCAL_DAY_DT = W_DAY_D.DAY_DT
    3) Make sure all other columns and foreign keys have been mapped. In this case a major secondary key is W_MCAL_DAY.MCAL_DAY_DT_WID = W_DAY_D.ROW_WID. You'll need to map the rest of the important columns yourself.
    All in all, I think you can definitely swap the two tables out. Just execute caution and make sure you have a backup/recovery plan in case you need to revert.
    Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

  • Multiple Fiscal Calendar in a single context

    Hi,
    I know that for each context we can only have one PAS database, as a result, only a single Fiscal Calendar definition for a each context.
    My question is: there is any way of creating a workaround for this? I need to have in a single context KPI's that use different fiscal calendar's
    Thanks in advance for the tips
    Regards
    Pedro

    Hi Bob,
    so, if I understand correctly there is only two options:
    1 - Have a single PAS database with a single fiscal calendar and use that in a single Context. The user's will have the option to then create specific reports for the metrics that should be displayed using a different Fiscal (using for that the different options in time that already exist in the reports component).
    2 - Create an individual PAS database for each Fiscal and have a different context for each of those databases.
    Is like this?
    If you think strategically, that shouldn't change the usefullness of Strategy Management, since the status of objectives and KPIs will still be driven off your current numbers, whatever the fiscal calendar.
    Yes, but for instance if we have KPI's that use Fiscal form Jan to Dec and other from Jul to Jun, when we select yearly data for 2009 for example, the information displayed for both is not the "same". For KPI1 is from Jul 2009 to Jun 2010 when it should be Jan 2009 to Dec 2009 (this for a database with Fiscal Calendar starting at "Jul"). Is not like this?
    PS: It's strange than no one have this problem in the past. Is not normal to have a customer that want to see in the same Scorecard/Context, KPI's that use different Fiscal calendar?
    Thanks in advance

  • Change Fiscal Year End?

    Dear all,
    The existing fiscal year end is 'Dec-07' and the adjustment period is after fiscal year (Adj-07).But now the corporate wants to change year end to 'JAN-08', what I need to change? I am using FSG to generate financial reports like P&L, balance sheet, what I need to change the financial year?

    Siva,
    I went through your articles on the other oracle blogs.They are really useful and can serve as a one stop knowledge source .
    I was going through a series of articles about changing a calendar with out reimplementing Oracle. When googled, the article that you had listed did came on the search results. but there was also a warning message that 'This site may harm your computer'.
    Can you please let me know if I can find the article on any other blog / site or alternatively if you are in possession of that article / process to be followed, I appreciate if you can email me the same at [email protected]

  • SSRS Expression Current month in a Fiscal calendar dimension from a SSAS cube

    How to create an expression for a default SSRS parameter to a SSAS cube when using i Fiscal Year calendar - and where I want to show current Calendar month and year (for example February 2014) 
    This is an example of my Time dimension for February 2014:
    [Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[2013].&[10]
    The fiscal calendar goes from May - May - which means that April 2014
    would look like this:
    [Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[2013].&[12]
    and May 2014 would look like this:
    [Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[2014].&[01]
    Please advise

    Hi HCMJ,
    To represent the fiscal calendar, you shift the current date by 4 months back. Then you can do:
    ="[Time].[FiscalYMD].[Fiscal_Year].&[" & Year( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "].&[" & Month( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "]"
    It just gets the year and month of '4 months ago'. I have not tested it, but I guess it should work.

  • BAPI to read and change schedule lines in APO

    Hello experts,
    We want to firm schedule lines inside the firm zone of the APO procurement scheduling agreements with a daily job. For this we are trying to use BAPI BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST3 and BAPI_POSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3. The getlist one does not return schedule lines, it returns purchase orders and purchase requisitions. Are these the right bapis to read and change schedule lines in APO? or is there anyother one we can use?

  • Changing the calendar settings: Sunday as the first day of the week

    Dear Masters of SAP universe,
    In ECC6.0, I am using a LIS info-structure with the period split set to week.
    I would like to know how can I change the calendar settings in order to consider Sunday as the first day of the week, instead of Monday.
    For example:
    A sales order created on Dec 12th creates the record 201049 in the info structure S900 - SPWOC.
    I would like to have it as 201050, where 50 is the currently week in the system.
    I already checked OSS notes and the transaction SCAL for customizing. But I did not find a solution this issue.
    Your help is highly appreciated!

    hi,
    this seems to be a calendar issue.
    please check for OSS also - 1158474.

  • I want to change my calendars...

    I am lazy... well, not really, but I am looking for the lazy way to do this:
    I have been pretty good about organizing my calendars so that I have a separate one for work, home, social, medical, church, family, and other random types of events. This is great...
    BUT
    I have 2 separate computers that I use, and I don't have .mac, so I can't really sync them like that. What I want to do is transfer the new items from one of my computers to the other one, but I don't want a bunch of duplicates. I am therefore trying to create a calendar that has all of the events I have created in the past month so I can take them home and put them on my computer there. I have been selecting each event and selecting this new calendar, but I was wondering if anyone had figured out a way to either drag and drop events into a calendar, or when multiple events are selected (using the event list) move all of the selected events to a different calendar. I suppose that I can take the time to go through one by one... but it is such a pain.
    So, if anyone else has either had this problem or knows how to solve it, I would like to hear from you!
    This is one of the only features I miss from the short time I used outlook... dragging and dropping events into categories and the ability to schedule meetings online and have the details automatically be entered into the calendar. It looks like there may be support for this in the new mail/ ical, but I haven't figured it out yet...
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Liz,
    You could select all the events you want, and then Control-Click one of them. This opens a contextural menu. One of the options in this menu is Calendar. You can change the calendar of all the selected events in one go from here.
    Best wishes

  • Multiple Fiscal Calendars Displayed in Subject Area Time Dimension

    Hi all,
    Thanks for taking the time to review my post.
    Environment
    Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6 Financial Analytics
    Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
    Query
    The Time dimension on my Subject Areas (Financial Analytics) are showing more period data than I expected.
    I have configured one Enterprise Calendar (WPG_Calendar) that I set in the DAC parameters - $$GBL_CALENDAR_ID (WPG_Calendar~Month) and $$GBL_DATASOURCE_NUM_ID (4). The warehouse Enterprise Calendar table W_ENT_PERIOD_D is populating with the periods as configured in EBS for that calendar(Jan-09, Feb-0, Mar-09, etc). I noticed that the Multiple Fiscal W_MCAL_PERIOD_D table is also been populated with the Enterprise Calendar data PLUS, the Seeded EBS calendar (JEBE_MONTH_VAT) and a generated Calendar that appears to be a 5-4-5-4 Calendar (Jan-01-09, Jan-02-09, Jan-03-09, etc). The trouble is these W_MCAL_PERIOD_D periods and dates are all coming through in my Time dimensions and make it confusing for the Answers Users when choosing a Time dimension.
    Also, for columns W_CURRENT_MCAL_PERIOD_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_QTR_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_YEAR_CODE there are rows with Current, Previous and Next populated that span these different periods as you would expect, but I'm concerned these return multiple rows for Filters Current Fiscal Quater, Current Fiscal Year.
    Funnily enough, W_CURRENT_MCAL_MONTH_CODE has nothing populated (NULLs for all rows).
    Your comments are most welcome.
    Kind Regards,
    Gary.

    The filtering of the calendar can be done directly on the logical layer.
    for the logical dimension "Dim - Date Fiscal Calendar", Logical Table Source "Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period"
    set the content as :
    "Oracle Data Warehouse".Catalog.dbo.Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period.MCAL_CAL_WID = VALUEOF("MY_MCAL_WID")
    and setup the repository variable MY_MCAL_WID to match with your calendar wid.
    If your calendar depends on any context then you can use session variable instead of repository variable

  • How to find out changes in order in APO

    Hi,
    I have with me order number. I want to know what changes are done in APO in particular time period through which transactions.
    I mean I want to see changes particular order in particular time period.
    I tried with /SAPAPO/C3
    But in 24 hours period there are thousands of log it is not possible  search one by one.
    By anyway can I filter logs pertaining to one production order.
    Regards,
    Santosh

    Thanks both.
    I was searching for changes in APO through ECC only.
    Our problem is suddenly few production orders are loosing charcteristics(we are using CDP).
    We are working with SAP for last one month, but no luck.
    To findout reason we were copying active planning version twice a week and also monitoring for new production order with lost charcteristics.
    While comparing versions we found that one receipt element ( we are using multi item order)is added in production order which may be reason for loss of charcteristic.
    to our surprise  there is no change in production order in ECC during this period.
    I cannot think of APO changing firmed receipt element production order.
    NO CCR was done for this order during this period.
    As we know day and not exact time when this happened wanted to have logs based prodction  order.
    It seems it is not possible?
    Is there anyway?
    Regards,
    Santosh

  • Setup time dimension in some different fiscal calendars

    I have the different fiscal calendars.
    Then, I wanna compare the current month fiscal amount and the previous month fiscal amount with AGO function.
    The calendars are like below.
    Calendar A : fiscal month start April
    Calendar B : fiscal month start January
    In this case, how should I define the chronological key in the time dimension?
    For example, I try the below setup in the calendar period hierarchy.
    Year 2008
    Half 1H 2H
    Quarter 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q
    Month 1Q = {Apr-08 in CAL_A, May-08 in CAL_A, Jul-08 in CAL_A, Jan-08 in CAL_B, Feb-08 in CAL_B, Mar-08 in CAL_B}
    and some.
    In this examle, the number of MONTH level members are 24.
    Then I make a column for sort.
    The sort number is below.
    For CAL_A
    Month SortNo.
    Apr-08 1
    May-08 2
    Jun-08 3
    Jul-08 4
    Aug-08 5
    Sep-08 6
    Oct-08 7
    Nor-08 8
    Dec-08 9
    Jan-09 10
    Feb-09 11
    Mar-09 12
    For CAL_B
    Month SortNo.
    Jan-09 13
    Feb-09 14
    Mar-09 15
    Apr-08 16
    May-08 17
    Jun-08 18
    Jul-08 19
    Aug-08 20
    Sep-08 21
    Oct-08 22
    Nor-08 23
    Dec-08 24
    In this case, if I try to get the previous month of Jan-09 in CAL_B with AGO function, the system get Mar-09 for CAL_A. Because the record of Mar-09 for CAL_A is 12 in SortNo. column.
    As far as possible, I wanna use AGO function.
    Does anyone have good ider for this problem?
    Edited by: user3532462 on 2008/08/28 2:57

    Hi,
    I guess it's easier to setup two different time dimensions; one for calendar A and one for calendar B. Use aliases in the Physical Layer.
    Good Luck,

  • How to change order data in APO

    Hi,
    I am keen to know on ways to change order data in APO say order category BI.....we want to change date by taking input from cif user exit APOCF006.We need this information for the ongoing  project.
    I know two options...1) using BAPIs  2) Not very sure about this option ...Function Module:/SAPAPO/OMORDER*CHANGE.
    Could you  please help to have better understanding on ways to change orders  in APO?
    Thank you
    Best Regards

    Hello Rishi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Demand node ofr purchase Ordre( BF) in SNP is Conrel( BI category). We want to change date( start date) at this demand node . We will get this date from R3 using say non cif method.
    There are few ways to do it....
    1) If we ignore Menas of Transport( so essentially transit time or lead time in tlane)  in that purchase order  and change this requirement date directly using purchase order save BAPI( requirement node) ......Question will system allow us to do so and even if it allows us to do so will it casue some problem( inconsistencies) later?
    2) Second option I am thinking is...
    For one product we maiantain GR processing time in product location master and this is considered while determining strat date of BI (Start date=  Delivery date -GR procesisng time- means of Transport lead time - some other times ....). For this product let's say we have 100 Purchase Orders (BF). We have requirement that each of these POs should get separate treatment while calculating Start date. It means start date can be different for different POs and once we change it forcibly then it shoulkd not change unless we again change it forcibly.
    We are thinking to change GR processing time at runtime wheneveer Purchase Order is changed. So if GR time in product location master is 1 day ....for different Purchase Orders different GR processing time can be considered. Say for Po1...its 2 day...for P2 its 4 day.
    Or similar way we  can change transit time as given in means of transport in tlanes.
    Will appreciate your or anyone's comment
    Thank you
