Depreciation Posting to Parallel Ledger of different fiscal year

Hi,
We have one Parallel Leder with fiscal year variant K4 and our Leading Leger is with V3. While carrying out AFAB for period 2 fiscal year 2010 (May 2009)(depreciation run), system gives error saying that 'Posting period 005/2009 is not open'. Period 005/2009 is on the basis of K4, which cannot be opened as data migration is over.
Request for cause of the error message.
Regards,
Rama

Hi,
Fiscal year Variants are different in the Leading and Non leading Ledger. One V3 and the other K4.
The error message comes only at the time of depreciation run. In other postings, there are no errors.

Double Posting in Parallel Ledger

Hello Gurus
We have Non-US company codes and have various depreciation areas assigned to it. Area 01 is main assigned to leading ledger 0L and area 30 is USGAAP assigned to L1 ( parallel Ledger). Area 01 Post real time and Area 30 is "Area post APC Directly and Depreciation.
Everything was working fine. Area 01 and L1 were getting correct postings. Recently due to client requirement for treatment of their Composite assets, we make certain adjustments in area 30 and area 01 differently. Like area 01 does not get any posting and area 30 get some adjustment posting and we do through Z transaction types. To achieve this we had to run periodic posting and thus assigned ZA document type to company codes of Mexico.
With this what is now happening is
When we post 10000 MXN to asset, Area 01 gets 10000 but area 30 which is L1 gets 20000.
To resolve this issue we tried various options like, If we
Assign Area post depreciation only to area 30 then it works fine but then our treatment of composite does not work
If we assign area post APC and depreciation on periodic basis, then it again doubles but doubles when we run ASKBN.
Please advise. It is real serious issue here.
Thanks

Hi Jean,
now I am astonished. Ok, I do not know your Support tickets, and I don´t know which bad OSS notes you mean. But your statement that you always get double postings is not correct if you follow the guideline how to set up your scenario with 2 different ledger (groups).
The documentation can be found in the SAP Help Portal here: Parallel Accounting in Asset Accounting .
There you find the link to the chapter "Parallel Ledgers in Asset Accounting", which contains detailed information and configuration steps to fulfill this requirement.
If you want to post 2 areas to G/L to different ledger groups, then the official SAP proposal is to use the so called "Ledger Scenario". In that scenario your alternative valuation does only post depreciation to G/L, so that you do not get double postings. If you have valuation differences, which appear automatically through different APC amounts or different value adjustments at retirement, then a derived depreciation area will post these differences ledger specific to your alternative valuation.
I admit that this scenario is not the most convenient, but it will provide the full functionality of parallel valuation at ledger (group) level.
The only real big limitation existing is that you can not really use different fiscal year variants within the valuation areas. But the basic requirement under which this thread was opened should work without problems.

Markus

Use of Different Fiscal Year Variant-Statistical Depreciation Area Postings

An existing Company Code in SAP is going to have Fixed Assets implemented. This Company Code is setup just like the others in our SAP instance: Same Chart of Accounts, Same Fiscal Year Variant, Fixed Asset procedures, etc. For purposes of this question our company's Fiscal Year is from August 1st to July 31st. In addition, this Company Code will post Fixed Assets just like the other SAP enabled Company Codes into Book Depreciation Area 01. The company I work with is on ECC 6 but we use the Classic Ledger for Financials, and the Special Ledger is posted to but not really utilized.
For the Country Specific/Tax Reporting purposes within Fixed Asset Accounting we have created a Statistical Depreciation Area 03 (I will call it Tax) with its own Life and Depreciation Key assignments with a setting of 0 in OADB-No Posting in GL for this Fixed Asset go-live, so I think we are set there. The tricky part comes in the reporting. The country in question requires information to be generated on a Calendar Year basis, which is obviously different than the Fiscal Year outlined above. To my knowledge we would have to assign Tax Depreciation Area 03 to the Calendar Fiscal Year Variant: Financial Accounting>>Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>Fiscal Year>>Fiscal Year Variants>>Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level.
The other piece of this is to get the Fixed Asset Reporting for Tax Depreciation Area 03 to work on a Calendar Year basis for the Company Code in question. When I did some research I stumbled upon the link below. In summary it says that you have to manipulate the standard Fixed Assets reports in Excel for Asset Acquisitions and Depreciation, and setup a new Retirement routine/transaction for posting into the Special Depreciation Area.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/05/bc0bf3d8f811d1953e0000e82debf7/content.htm
My questions are:
1) Besides assigning a different Fiscal Year Variant for Tax Depreciation Area 03, is there anything else I need to worry about on the setup end?
2) Is the article I posted accurate when it comes to how the reporting works and the need for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine? If so, what are the configuration steps for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?
3) Is there anything else that I need to consider for enabling Fixed Assets at an existing Company Code with different Reporting requirements for Book/Tax purposes?
Thanks in advance for all responses. I am willing to answer any other questions on this subject if needed.

Hello Rio. In our scenario, we still had to load assets in the legal entity with this issue. When we loaded the fixed asset data into SAP we did with data accurate as of December 31, 2011; which for book purposes is 5 months into our company's fiscal year, and for tax purposes is the end of the 2011 calendar year. The calendarized reporting for the tax depreciation will need to be pieced together manually using the SAP recommended methodology of combining report values, which I have pasted below.
Since this is the only SAP-enabled entity that has this scenario right now we are in wait and see mode to see if this sufficient. In the end the SAP path for Dual Calendar was too much of a risk.
I hope this helps.

Items are in different fiscal years - Posting

Hello
Here one user is doing a transaction F-32 for clear customer items. He has to clear items but the items were posted in different fiscal years. When he tries to post the document, it gives the message "Items are in different fiscal years". few items are in the last year and rest are in the current year. Both the fiscal years are open in the case. How can I post the document ?

can you provide the message number.
can you also confirm if this is an error, warning or message.
As standard you should be able to clear open items from different fiscal years.
Are you matching invoices off with a zero balance?
Also can you confirm if you have activated document splitting?

Use of different fiscal year variant in leading&non leading ledgers and Asset closing&Reporting

Experts,
Need one clarification on using different fiscal year variants for Leading(0L)&non Leading(NL) Ledgers and impact on Fixed Asset Accounting.If I use say V6(Jan2013-Dec2013) for Leading Ledger and April2013-March2014 for non leading Ledger,(local GAAP)-please clarify the following.
1.Does Asset Accounting gives all standard reports as expected in both(Leading&Locals) the Depreciation areas?Do we need to any settings specially for in the above scenario?(I am assuming point#4 given below may not help for this as system gives an error if both the fiscal year variants have different start&end dates)
2.How is Year end in Asset Accounting handled?If I close the year end in Asset Accounting for Company Code as per Leading Ledger i.e say by Dec 2013,can I still post the asset entries in non leading ledger?Because Financial year for Leading ledger will be 2014 and non leading will be still 2013(in Jan2014).
3.I am aware SAP has some restrictions way back in 2005-2007 (SAP note 844029) for different fiscal year variants in Leading&Non Leading Ledgers,Does SAP come out with any solution later?
4.What is the exact use of the settings at Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>>Fiscal year>>Fiscal year variants at company code level or Depreciation area level?My understanding here is,they are not meant for using different fiscal year variant with different start&end dates but they are meant for using different fiscal year variant with same START&END DATES and have different number of posting periods i.e 1 can have 12 and other can have 13.
Please can you give your comments?

Hi Hinfi,
It seems standard SAP does not manage different fiscal year variants (at least with different start/end dates) in different depreciation areas.
However, they came up with an add-on solution called Multiple Calendar Tool and based on a mirroring solution that synchronizes asset transactions in a mirror company code.
It's all explained in following notes:
Note 1175751 - Project solution for alternative fiscal year variant
Note 1636025 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool 1.0_ SP Note
Note 1658489 - Installation of Asset acctg multi calendar 1.0 software
Note 1658714 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool_ Overview Note
Note 1691481 - Release strategy_ Asset acctg multi calendar tool
Note 1951069 - Different fiscal year variants in General Ledger Accounting (New) (NewGL) under the new Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL)
I don't know if it's commonly used and personnaly have no feedback on it. I was curious to check how to manage a depreciation area 01 posted in a leading ledger in US GAAP (FYV january to december) and another depreciation posted in a non leading ledger in Indian GAAP (FYV april to march).

Reversal of asset document in different fiscal year

Hi Friends,
An asset was acquired in period 12, 2008 through t-code ABZO. No depreciation was charged in 2008 because the dep start date was 01.01.2009 in the asset master. Then depreciation was charged and posted for the asset in period 1 and 2 in 2009. Now we want to reverse the asset acquisition posting which was posted in 2008. While making the reversal through AB08, the error message is - Reversal not allowed in different fiscal year.
(1) Is there any way that the reversal can be done without opening FY 2008?
(2) What would be the impact on the dep which is posted in per 1 and 2 of 2009?
Thanks in advance for your much needed help !!!!

Hi,
Before doing this I would like to Understand the following:-
1. Where you have credited when you have debited the Asset ?
2. Reversal May be possible if you do the following;-
1. You will have to change the depreciation key as "000"
2. Repeat run for AFAB.
3. Reverse the Same Asset by ABZO by different Transaction type.
4. Otherwise Scrap the Asset.

Consolidated balance sheet for 3 company codes having different fiscal year

Hi,
In our current organisation, we have 3 company codes assigned to the company.
All the three company codes use the same chart of accounts.
Among the 3, 2 company code are having the same fiscal year variant, controlling area and tha same local currency.
One company code has different fiscal year variant , controlling area and local currency.
Now is it possible to see the balance sheet in f.01 for all the 3 company codes.
If no, could anyone let me know if I have to use the multiple ledger concept to do thid.
I am aware that multiple ledger concept appears when the same company code has different fiscal year variants , we can see tha same posting in different fiscal year variants.
I am not sure if I have to use the multiple ledgers to see the consolidate balance sheet for the three companies.
Please provide me with a clarity on the same.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Hi,
Thanks for the extended help.
But Group Chart of accouts should be maintained for all the comany codes if they have different Chart of accounts at the company code level.
It is not mandatory have it when all the three company code have tha same COA.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Different fiscal year variants

Our client follows two fiscal year variants. For global reporting purpose they follow a different convention 445. For meeting local reporting requirements at subsidiaries in different countries calendar year Jan to Dec is followed. Both the fiscal year variants will have different start and end dates for any fiscal year. As far as GL reporting is concerned we could achieve this by using new ledger solution.
I am facing a challenge while configuring these two different fiscal year variants in asset accounting. I am planning to use 445 for my 01 area and I want to create another depreciation area for the calendar year reporting, but I am not able to do it.
I am getting the below error message
AC539 :Fiscal year variants in co.code have inconsistent start date
Diagnosis
The first day of the fiscal year for variant K4 in company code in Asset Accounting differs from the first day of the fiscal year for variant SD in General Ledger Accounting.
However, both variants must have the same start and end date! Only the periods within the fiscal year can be different in the two variants.
Does any body have come across similar situation and what would be the solution to achieve this ?

Hello Reuta Kulkarni,
there is no standard functionality available to cover your requirement. Still, a customer specific project solution for a workaround can be offered by SAP Custom Development. Please note, that such a solution requires detailed analysis of the customer requirements and is chargeable.
If you are interested you will find details in note 1175751.

Asset Register with different Fiscal Year Variant

Ministry Of Commerce requires Power Line Carrier Companies to maintain
an additional fixed asset register. This register needs to have
Fiscal Year - April to March
Revaluation of Assets on 1 April every year based on indice provided
Ministry.
Depericiation Rates same as existing
Staright line depreciation
No depreciation / revaluation of new assets aqired during the year
No depreciation on disposal of assets during the year
This can work OK for Companies with same Fiscal Year Variant (April to
March).
What are the options for Companies with different Fiscal Year?
Some of the companies do not have the new GL activated and hence cannot
use the additional ledger and use for this purpose.
Can you please advise.
Regards,
Suneel Bhonsule

If the company codes are using fiscal year variant April - March, then it is possible. If the company codes are using differant fiscal year variant other than April - March and if you want to get the report with the Fiscal year April-March,, it will not work out..
Even If new GL Activated for all company codes also its not possible.. i had a experience of this and finally came to know that parellel ledger or special ledger concept will not support for Diefferant fiscal year for Asset accounting alone which is differant from Company code fiscal year..
Thanks

Ledger 0 has fiscal year variant instead of V3 - Message - GI174

Hi all,
i am geting below message when i am doing KP06 for cost center planning
Ledger 0 has fiscal year variant instead of V3
Message no. GI174
Diagnosis
When transferring planning data, the receiver ledgers must have the same fiscal year variant as the sender system, since all planned periods are transferred and not just one period with a posting date. Therefore, the period cannot be converted.
Procedure
Compare the fiscal year variant of the sender system with the FI-SL fiscal year variant.
You can access this in FI-SL Customizing by choosing Basic Settings Master Data -> Ledger (select the ledger specified in this message) -> Assign Comp.Cd/Comp. -> After selecting the company code, the system displays the assigned fiscal year variant.
Kindly do the needful.
Regards,
TDK

Hi,
The message means you need to change fiscal year variant of ledger 0 to V3. I guess your fiscal year variant of controlling area is V3. Both of them should have same fiscal year variant. So change it may be solve the problem.

Assigning Different Fiscal Year Variants between comapny codes

Folks,
We have 2 company codes 1000 and 1010 both are assigned to controlling area 2000. I want to know what are the impacts of assigning company 1000 and 1010 to different fiscal year variants. I get this warning message when i try to save.
Please advice if this is advisable to do? and what are the impacts.
Message no. KT297
Diagnosis
Fiscal year variant K4, controlling area 2000, does not agree with fiscal year variant V9, company code 1010.
The following entries must agree:
Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
Same period limits
Procedure
Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.

Dear Zaid Azam,
you have assigned 1000 and 1010 to one controlling area 2000,
To assign more than one company code to one controlling area the below are conditions
1) The Operative fiscal year variants in the company codes must match the fiscal year variant in controlling area.
2) The company codes must use the same chart of accounts.
So if you are assigning other fiscal year variant where the number of posting periods are different, hece system giving an error.
Thanks and Regards

Closing Cockpit: Different Fiscal Year Variant in Task List

Dear All,
I want to implement the closing cockpit for several bukrs who have different fiscal year variants. I have definied one template for all bukrs. When creating a task list I only have the possibility to define one fiscal year variant for the selection variables. I could use my own selection variables from TVARV but nonetheless when choosing the template/task list the fiscal year variant is shown "wrong" for some of the bukrs. I do not want to design a template for each fiscal variant. Are there any ways to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
Cathrine

Hi,
I am afraid this is not possible. Please see the SAP notes
152888 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA
1493253 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA (II)
There are a restrictions for different fiscal year variants in asset accounting. This also applies to NewGL. There is a workaround with another depreciation area but I have never tried it.

One Controlling Area for Two CoCds with different Fiscal Year variant

Hi,
I have a Company code with FYV "A1" with 12 Periods (Apr - Mar) - Fiscal year start at Apr-01 and ends Mar-31 of the next year.
I have another company code with FYV "B1" with 12 Periods (Jan-Dec). - Fiscal year start at Jan-01 and ends Dec-31.
Chart of Accounts for both the company code is same.
Can I assign these two company codes to one Controlling Area?
When I try to assign the company codes, I got the following warning message.
Differing fiscal year variants: A1 - B1
Message no. KT297
Diagnosis
Fiscal year variant A1, controlling area 1000, does not agree with fiscal year variant B1, company code 5001.
The following entries must agree:
- Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
- Same period limits
Procedure
Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.
1. What is the meaning of "Same period limits"?
2. Does it mean the fiscal year start and end date must be same?
3. What is the impact of the warning message?
Thanks
Palani

Having same fiscal year variant is one of the requirements for different company codes to be under one controlling area.
The FYV for the company codes and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods. The number of posting periods must be the same.
Impact of warning message: You cannot create one controlling area for both company codes (1:n assignment).
If you like, you can create one controlling area for one compnay code with FYV A1 and another controlling area for another company code with FYV B1.
PS: Please reward the points if you find the answer as useful and rewarding points is a way of saying thanks.
