Current year period comparison with previous year

Question

Hello Experts,
i need to compare qty of
period 01 2006 with period 01 2005-->for this period
period 01,02 2006 with period 01,02 2005-->for next period
period 01,02,03 2006 with period 01,02,03 2005 -->
after that...etc...
Note:
-i am having time char fiscal year/period
-now we are in period 02
-to get this year period i am using the variable,
"Cumulated to Last fiscal Year/Period" to restrict. so, this will give period 01 of this year.
- is there any standard variable to get last years period
- else, how to achieve this?
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Hi,
u can try with the Variable: Cumulated up to Current Fiscal Year Period  0FYTCFP.
i have not tried.its just an idea.
from sap help:This variable denotes an interval from period 1 of the current fiscal year to the current fiscal year period.
First the fiscal year variant, which serves as the input parameter for determining the current fiscal year, is defined.

or
Variable: Cumulated up to Last Fiscal Year Period
Technical name: 0FYTLFP
Use
This variable denotes an interval from period 1 of the current fiscal year to the period before the current fiscal year period.
First the fiscal year variant, which serves as the input parameter for determining the current fiscal year, is defined.
cretae 2 restricted keyfigures like this:
RKF1:
Quantity
0FISCPER restricted by 0FYTCFP / 0FYTLFP
RKF2:
Quantity
0FISCPER restricted by 0FYTCFP/0FYTLFP with offset '-1'.
and use respective text variables to view Fiscal year/period value accordingly in RKFs.
hope this helps.
regards
