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.

Creation of Shortend Fiscal year..

Dear Frenz,
I have an issue regarding my shortened fiscal year.. My client is following 2009 as fiscal year for the period Jan 2008 to Dec 2008.
Now he is closing the books in september and wants to create a shortened fiscal year for oct, nov & Dec..
My question is the that need i create a new fiscal year variant or should i configure a shortened fiscal year in the existing variant only...
Regards,
Shanks...

Hi,
Can you please tell me why does he want to close the fiscal yr and have a new fiscal yr variant for remaining 3 periods?
Assume that he is selling the company to some one else he wanted to continue the same business and he wanted his business to run on SAP, then you will have to creat a new fiscal yr varint which should be "Short end Fiscal Yr" and "Short end Fiscal Yr" should be a yr dependent since he will never use the same kind of Fiscal yr and periods.
Please let me know if you have any concerns,
Hope understood and assign points if you get through.
Thanks,

Due to shortend fiscal year problem in depre amounts.

Dear All,
Due to shortend fiscal year (apr07-mar08) we are facing Depre calculation problem.
1) There are no errors in AFAB & AW01N. Itu2019s showing balance 3 (jan07,feb07,mar07)months depre in AFAB u201CTo Postu201D column.
2) User doesnu2019t want to post the balance 3 months depre and they wants to carry forward for the next financial years continuously. But here the problem is before recalculate assets the difference is only 35 $, but after SAP suggested to Recalculate assets before depre run that is run AFAR then run AFAB they found that the amount is 31000+. Which canu2019t carry forward such a big amount?
Pls help us to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Since you are on BPC 5.1, I don't believe you can take advantage of multiple hierarchies within the Time Dimension. So, I would create a report rendering the information you need, with the columns being fixed using properties and EVTIM. The values for the quarterly and yearly levels would be sums instead of retrievals from the database.

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

How to configure shortend fiscal year

Hi friends
plz tell me configure of shortend fiscal year
urgent

Hello Kavitha,
Background- A shortened fiscal year results when you change from a normal fiscal year to a non-calendar fiscal year, or the other way around. This type of change might be necessary, for instance, if an enterprise becomes part of a new corporate group.
Features:The R/3 Financial Accounting component fully supports the use of shortened fiscal years. However, there are still some points to consider from the perspective of Asset Accounting when you use a shortened fiscal year.
Configuration: Define the length of the shortened fiscal year and the distribution of the periods in the shortened fiscal year. (Refer to Shortened Fiscal Years).
Determine the rules for reducing depreciation for the individual depreciation types and depreciation areas. This is done in FI-AA Customizing: Valuation->Fiscal Year-> Shortened Fiscal Year).
If the current fiscal year was changed to a shortened fiscal year, start the program for recalculating depreciation (under Tools).
Hope I had beena ble to help you. please assign points.

Fiscal year in the columns outside the key figure structure

Dear Experts
I have a report requirement to show the keyfigures in the columns from year 1 to year 10 and in each year there are 4 keyfigures each restricted to 1 quarter for 4 quarters.
So, there are too many keyfigures to create.
I am using fiscal year in the columns outside the Key figure structure containing the keyfigures restricted at each of 4 quarters.
So, when the report displays, all the 10 years will automatically be displayed.
The problem is one of the 4 quarter level keyfigures needs to be restricted by calendar year.
How can I read what is the fiscal year for each column at runtime so that I can reference this value to determine the calendar year ?
As you know, each FY spans 2 Calendar Years. So, i need to restrict this on the 4th keyfigure by calendar year but while having the FY outside the keyfigure structure i can get all the FY, I am not sure how to access this value at runtime so that eg.
if FY for column 1 is 2010, i can set calendar year to be 2010 to 2011.
Hope you can give me some clues.
Thanks you Gurus!
Best regards
John

Dear Sunnybt
Copy Riyes, I find your response interesting. Please could you elaborate your idea of using condition in more detail.
Sorry for my late response.
Allow me to clarify my statement, which you are right, is unclear.
By :
"if the current QuarterFY is less than the current QuarterFY"
I mean :
eg. user enters FY range : 2009 to 20NN (eg. 2017)
KF_column1_FY2009_Q1______KF_column2_FY2009_Q2____KF_column3_FY2009_Q3______KF_column_FY2009_Q4______KF_column_FY2010_Q1______KF_column2_FY2010_Q2____KF_column3_FY2010_Q3______KF_column_FY2010_Q4_____KF_column_FY_NNNN_Q1
For each column, where the FY can be any year range entered by user,
the Text Description of the Column should show either 'Actual' or 'Plan' based on what is the current FY Quarter at runtime.
If the FY Quarter (eg. 1st column is 200101) is before current FY Quarter (i.e 201103), then the Description of this column should be "Actual" , else "Plan".
In my current design, I am unable to use customer exit text variable to meet this requirement.
So, I like to check with you for fresher ideas.
If not , I would use a workbook, which I am avoiding as the user needs to drilldown and I believe drilldown is not possible in workbooks where report layout needs to be rigid or cell positions fixed. Of course, unless there is a way out of this which I do not know.
Best regards

Variable to display data from Current Fiscal Year to the MONTH entered

Hi Friends,
In the Quey Designer I require a CHARACTERISTIC VARIABLE for the 0CALMONTH which should have the following features:-
1.Input Month(e.g JUN 2008)
2.Mandatory
3.Ready for Input
The query should show the following OUTPUT:-
The data should be displayed from the CURRENT FISCAL YEAR to the value of the Input MONTH entered.
e.g For Input = DEC2008
Output = from APRIL 2008 to DEC2008.
Do we have a standard variable for this or we have to go for a Customer Exit??
Thanks in Advance!!!
Vivek

Hi,
Create a customer exit as follows.
WHEN 'ZCMTD'.
you variable name
data: ZCMTD_LOW like sy-datum.
ZCMTD_LOW = sy-datum.
ZCMTD_LOW+4(2) = '04'.
*replacing last two symbols (month) in the current month with '04'
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = ZCMTD_LOW.
*initializing low interval limit
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = SY-DATUM.
*initializing high interval limit
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
*defining interval as inclusive
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDCASE.
Thanks,
Ashok

Delete old Fiscal variant / Fiscal Periods / Fiscal Year from the BW

Hi
When initially Loading data we had different fiscal variant for each source system.
This was found not to be correct and after the initial load we reloaded the same data with a common fiscal variant across source systems.
Now the problem we have on hand is that we do not want the old Fiscal variant / Fiscal Periods / Fiscal Year to show up in the F4 pop up.
Is there a way to delete these old Fiscal variant / Fiscal Periods / Fiscal Year from the BW System.
regards

Hi,
Go to your infoprovider, select the required characteristic and in the Infoprovider specific properties under the F4 values for filter option, you can choose "Only values from infoprovider data".
Just check if this option is available with time characteristics or not.

WAITED A YEAR FOR THE PRE ON VERIZON---HAS MS EXCHANGE PROB BEEN FIXED--WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE WITH DROID?

Well this is my first post. Hopefully not my last...but we'll see.
I have waited a year for the Pre to get to Verizon and now that I have purchased it I find out that I cannot connect with our server to get access to outlook. I have email and it seems to be working okay but if I can't get access to Outlook then the phone is worthless. Has the problem with connecting with connecting to ms exchange been resolved? Calling the IT department of the very large company that I work for to ask them to update ANYTHING to accomodate me (one person) is rediculous and they wouldn't do it anyway.
Sooo...is there any help for me or will I have to dump palm. Had Treo 755 and it was wonderful!!! No need for symantics...can I get to Outlook using MS Exchange or not.
Thank you Palm for you great service through years but Outlook is more important. Hope I can have both.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Go to the calendar (or contacts app) and from the menu select Preferences and Accounts. You should see your Exchange server listed. If you do, then I'm not sure what's going on: you may want to go to call Palm/Verizon support and have them walk you through it. (http://www.palm.com/support and select your device and carrier)
If you don't then you can try adding it, but honestly it should have added both contacts and calendar for your server when you added the email account. I can't advise enough especially if a one-on-one phone or chat would be helpful, contacting support to work with you. Good luck.

Merging of Two Companies in SAP

Hai All,
My Scenario is Two Companies are going to Merge as one Company. How to Do the Merging in SAP.
Is there any methodolgy or Steps to follow.How the Reassisgments are doing in SAP.
Regards
Gibi Philip

Hi,
This is related to Merging of Two Companies in SAP in CRM Perspective.
You can approach the problem in the following way:
1. Create a function module which can accept two parameters a) Parent Company and b) Child Company
2. Now get all the activities of the child company by entering the partner number of the child company and the OBJECT_TYPE = 'BUS2000126' in the table CRMD_ORDER_INDEX.
3. Call the function module BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CHANGEMULTI and change the partner of all the activities to the partner number of the parent company.
4. Call BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_SAVE and then BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
Follow the same procedure for reassigning the contact details of the child company to the parent company. You will have to use different set of function modules here.
After reassgning all the details to the parent company delete the child company using the function module BUP_BUPA_DELETE.

/people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2006/04/15/data-cleansing-part-2-150-import-cleansing-cases-from-external-source
Another Example of merging Project:
The Merger project involved three diferent companies from two different countries. When you merge HR you should pay attention to following:
=> Define the complete enterprise structure that covers the business requirements: Company codes, Personal Area, Personal Subarea, Employee group, Employee subgroup and payroll area.
HOW to define the enterprise structure:
=> Analyse the business requirements from the 6 companies:
1. Will the FI/CO be treated as an entities per company. This determines how many company codes and payroll areas will be needed;
2. Number of payroll areas is also determined if the 6 companies are from different countries, if the salary dates will be differents and if there are diferent payment periods;
3. Time management requirements. Are there rules that are applicable only to certain group of employees? For example: Overtime payment is only for employees in the plant. Offices workers earn additional rest hours when they work overtime, etc...
4. Payroll requirements. The salary structure are different for a different group of employees? For example: Expatriates salaries has an host and home componenet on there salary with diferent tax implications. When the local employees do not have that split.
Answers to 3. and 4. will determine the Number and structure of personal area/subarea and employee group/subgroup...
Hope this helps,

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
