Enable fiscal year/quarter selection in a query

Hello all,
I want to have an characteristic fiscal year/quarter similar to fiscal year/period (0FISCPER) in my query. Unfortunately I can not find such a characteristic in the time infoObjects in my cube and in the administrator workbench.
Our Fiscal year starts in July. So the first quarter is July - September. The BW release is 3.5.
How canI enable a fiscal yearquarter selection in my query?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks upfront and Best regards,
Stefanos from Munich/Bavaria/Germany

Stefanos ...
A couple of options for the same :
1. Have 0FISCPER in your cube and map the same to the custom characteristic in the update rules.
2. Have the custom characteristic in the cube in a separate dimension
3. If you have the same in the cube - have a variable against that and execute your query...
By doing the above you can get the same in the query.

Offset issue for Fiscal Year Quarter

Dear All,
There is a requirement to develop a report for balance sheet to compare the fiscal year quarter like if user is going to give input 20143 then comparison quarter is 20142 where I did offset (-1) and if user give input as 20141 then the comparison quarter is 20134 where I am using offset as (-7).
So I have incorporated both offset in one variable. Now the issue is if I will run for any quarter then it is giving error in the run time. Could anyone suggest that how I could achieve this, whether I have used correct offset interval?

Hi,
I wouldn't do it in that way i.e. one column where you count previous quarter for quarters 2 3 4 (offset -1) and another column for counting previous quarter for quarter 1 (offset 7).
There should be just one column where you count just previous quarter. Use an EXIT to count previous quarter for any value of quarter.
Regards, Leszek
something like this can be used:
WHEN 'ZPREVQUARTER'.
* QUARTER(1) TYPE C.
* YEAR(4) TYPE C.
* have to be defined after DATA: keyword !!!
   IF i_step = 2.
         LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO l_s_var_range
           WHERE vnam = 'ZCURRENTQUARTER'.
           EXIT.
         ENDLOOP.
         CLEAR: l_s_range.
         YEAR = l_s_var_range-low(4).
         QUARTER = l_s_var_range-low+4(1).
         IF QUARTER = 1.
          YEAR = YEAR - 1.
          QUARTER = '4'.
         ELSE.
          QUARTER = QUARTER - 1.
         ENDIF.
         CONCATENATE YEAR QUARTER INTO l_s_range-low.
         l_s_range-sign = 'I'. "loc_var_range-sign.
         l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'. "loc_var_range-opt.
         APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDIF.

SSRS Parameter - Fiscal Year - Quarter

Using a SSAS cube as source I'm having problems getting using a dynamic parameter expression of the Quarter part of the time dimension so that the current quarter is selected each time the report is executed. The time dimension is using a Fiscal year
- where for example Q4 is for February, March and April) and Q1 (for May, June, July) etc,,
Below I haved showed how the parameter is working using a hardcoded Quarter part - and how it's not using the dynamic one:
When hardcoding the Quarter as in the below expression - using this expression - the parameter works:
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" & Year( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "].&[Q4].&[" & Month( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "]"
When trying to do a dynamic solution for the Quarter it's not working (emty results in the parameter list) - I'm using this:
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" & Year( DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "].&[Q" & DatePart(DateInterval.Quarter,DateAdd(DateInterval.Month,-1,today())) & "].&[" & Month(
DateAdd( "m", -4, Today() ) ) & "]"
Suggesting to how I can solve this dynamic would be very appriciated.

Sorry, I missed the last part (highlighted) in the expression.
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" + CStr(Year( DateAdd( "m", -4, Now() ) )) + "].&[Q" + CStr(DatePart("q",DateAdd("m",-4, Now()))) + "].&["
+ CStr(Month( DateAdd( "m", -4, Now() ) ) )+ "]"
Can you give me some details on the Qtr parameter properties? Are you using "Specify values" or "Get values from a query" option?
Where do you see that the parameter value is blank?
Thanks,
Ayad

Data Type to use for Fiscal Year Period selection screen parameter

I need to accept user input in the format
YYYY.PP
where YYYY is the Fiscal year and PP is the Period.
Is there a data type ( element / domain ) for such a field ?

date element you can use SPMON
or
parameter : p_spmon like MCS0-SPMON.

Thanks.

based on ur target database DBMS you can find a built-in functions be used in the universe designer to get the requirment you talked about, like in oracle
to_char(mydate,'yyyy') it will return the year in the yyyy format.
and the same way for the other things you want
to_char(mydate,'q') return the quarter.
w return the week of the month
ww return the week of the year
mm return the month
,, to get the last year
you can use also a builtin functions
like add_months(mydate,-12) that return the same date for the last year, and you can do the same operations as before.
its all related to the DBMS.
good luck

Sql query with dynamic fiscal year

Hi,
I wrote this query with static fiscal year and fiscal period, I need info on making the variables dynamic
Fiscal year : starts from July1st. So this year until June'30 it is '2011' and from July'1st its '2012'
Fiscal period: July1st its '1' and June'1st its '12'
Query:
select distinct o.c_num, o.ac_num, s.sub_ac_num, o.fiscal_year, o.ac_exp_date, s.sub_ac_ind
                         from org_account o
                              left outer join sub_account s
                              on o.c_num = s.c_num and o.ac_num = s.ac_num
                         where (o.ac_exp_date >= CURRENT_DATE or o.ac_exp_date is null)
                         and o.fiscal_year = *'2011'* --> need to be dynamic
                         and o.fiscal_period = *'12'* --> need to be dynamic

Hi, Mano,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
Since this is your first thread, I'll post some sample data for you:
CREATE TABLE     table_x
(     dt     DATE
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2010-12-31');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-01-01');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-02');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-30');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-07-01');Is this the output you would want from that data?
DT          FISCAL_YEAR     FISCAL_PERIOD
31-Dec-2010 2011            06
01-Jan-2011 2011            07
02-Jun-2011 2011            12
30-Jun-2011 2011            12
01-Jul-2011 2012            01If so, here's one way to get it:
SELECT       dt
,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            , 'YYYY'
            )     AS fiscal_year
,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            , 'MM'
            )     AS fiscal_period
FROM       table_x
ORDER BY dt
;Since your fiscal year starts 6 months before the calendar year, you need to add 6 months to the actual date to get the fiscal year and month.
The query above produces strings for fiscal_year and fiscal_period. If you'd rather have NUMBERs, then use EXTRACT instead of TO_CHAR:
SELECT       dt
,       EXTRACT (      YEAR
            FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            )     AS fiscal_year
,       EXTRACT (      MONTH
            FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            )     AS fiscal_period
FROM       table_x
ORDER BY dt
;The first query will work in Oracle 6 (and higher).
I'm not sure when EXTRACT was introduced. It definitely works in Oracle 10, and may be available in earlier versions, too.

How to Ignore Fiscal Year Variant in BEx Query displayed with FISCYEAR?

Hi All,
I am developing a report.
In which I have taken Fiscal Year in columns.
When I executed the report Fiscal Year is showing with Fiscal Year Variant, I mean it is displaying as K5/2009.
Please let me know the settings how to ignore Variant? I mean Fiscal Year should show 2009 only.
Regards,
HM.

Hi,
Fiscal year variant is compounded to Fiscal year. So in Bex query output it will be the format.
In case you need to remove the fiscal year variant you need to write customer Exit code.

Fiscal Year in the columns outside KF structure

Dear Experts,
I have a manual Entry variable for Fiscal Year range.
In the query designer columns , I have a KF structure containing quarter level columns.
The FY is outside this structure. So, for each FY user entered in the FY range variable, the report will show the set of KFs at quarter level.
How can i refer to this FY values at runtime such that current date can be used to compare with the FY and Quarter in the columns?
The requirement is, if the current QuarterFY is less than the current QuarterFY, the TEXT variable for the columns should show 'Actual' else show 'Plan' .
I am not sure how to reference the FY range entered by user considering that the FY is placed outside the KF columns to automatically display all the FY entered by the user without the use of the FY range variable restricted in the KFs.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Bass

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

Error while entering the Fiscal Year/Period Variable

I keep getting the following error message when I try to input or select the Variable on the report that has been executed on the Portal. Everything is fine when done through Bex.
<b> Please enter value in permitted format for variable Fiscal Year/Period (Selection Options, Optional).
Entry needs template ___/____

Would anybody have any clue as to why?? It does have the Fiscal year Variant.

Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2012 when loadin

Dear Experts,
We are working on BI7.0 extracting data from ECC 6.0.
I am trying to load data from 0HR_PY_PP_1 which is a Self DataSource in our BW System (extracts data from 0EMPLOYEE and 0PERSON) to load into ZPA_C50 which is a copy of BCT InfoCube 0PAPA_C02 (Headcount).
The data has come through into the PSA very well.
However, DTP is throwing an error while loading 32242 records of data from PSA into ZPA_C50 InfoCube. The error details as below:
Error while updating to target ZPA_C50 (type INFOCUBE)
Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2012 FGV 2
Messages for 1 data records saved; request is red acc. to configuration
Processing Terminated
We are actually doing a Re-implementation of BW 3.0b in BI 7.0 Ehp1. We have imported Maintenance of Fiscal Year Variant from the BW 3.0b Production System. So this shouldn't be a problem I guess since I have also checked the setting in SPRO in BI 7.0 Development (New) System and they are looking good.
Also, when I do a Filter on 0CALDAY in DTP from 01.01.1900 to 31.12.2010, the loads are working fine. I want the load to run without any Filters on 0CALDAY.
Has anyone been in similar situation. How did you resolve this issue? Your time is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Chandu

Dear Experts
Thanks for your time.
We have resolved this issue ourselves. We have maintained 'Shortened Fiscal Years' for 'Z1' and it is working fine now. Steps are as below:
In BI Dev System -> SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Customizing Implementation Guide -> SAP NetWeaver -> Business Intelligence -> General BI Settings -> Maintain fiscal year variant -> Select 'Z1' Fiscal Year Variant and then DoubleClick on 'Shortened Fiscal Years' to set the Fisc Year Variant -> Save.
The dataload should work fine now.

Issue with Fiscal Year period - Variable

Hello,
I have requirement where I have two fiscal year variables selections available for the users. Both are independent to each other. FOR EX: A & B
1ST Fiscal year period is straightforward. It is a single variable selection where User enters the fiscal year period then the Key figures data will be available to the user for that particular fiscal year what is selected in the variable screen.
For ex: If user enters 01.2007 then the values will be only for that particular month/period
However, the 2nd Fiscal year period user wants a Range (From and to). This is also a Single selection variable. Here user enters only TO value, which it should go and get the lower value from first variable screen and then it should take the higher value from the 2nd Variable screen and should calculate the result as a range.
How this can be sorted? Can someone please help me to sort this Issue? If we need a customer exit, can you please give me some sample code?
Thanks in advance
Harish

Hi,
Create 3 variable
One for from variable which will user input ZVAR1
2nd to variable will be user input              ZVAR2

How to get last 35th fiscal year periof form current fiscal year period

Hi,
I want last 35th moths fiscal yesr periof from current fiscal yesr periog.
E.g. current month FISPER - 2010011 so required FISPER is 2010011 - 35 = 2007009.
Please help if any one know about it.
Marks will be provided.

Hi,
Drag Fiscal year/period characteristic in the query and restrict it .
In the variables , you will find SAP delivered variable which willl give you current fiscal year/period.
Create range on the using this variable and give offset of -35.
For eg.
the name of the variable is 0PF_CP, then create range in the following way.
Lower range will be 0PF_CP - 35
and higher limit will be 0PF_CP.
So the range would be 0PF_CP-35 : 0PF_CP.
This will give you the last 35 fiscal year/period.

How to get current fiscal year.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Asset Management.I need to get current fiscal year.
I have to enter fiscal year on selections screen which i have to validate that it should not be greater than current fiscal year.
For above i have used following code snippet but i have hard coded variant as 'MK'.
To get variant i was using function '/IBS/RB_FI_GET_FISCAL_YEAR_VAR' but in my selection screen we have to enter multiple company codes. if i will keep this function inside loop then it may give multiple variants.
How to resolve this ?

About fiscal year

HI,
There is one query regarding fiscal year. In our report we made fiscal year variants as a compounding object in fiscal year info-object.
So that when we check data in report that with respect to fiscal year variant, data comes in different column.
Like if fiscal year variant is K4 and BW then there will be different column for some particular key-figure.
But i want these value in one column. It can be possible, if i remove compounding object (fiscal year variants ) from fiscal year,
but i can't do this becoz this fiscal year is used in other query also.
So can i create some different info-object for fiscal year in which fiscal year variants should not used as a compounding object.
But value of fiscal year should come with respect to fiscal year variants.
Thanks
Devesh Babu

Hi,
Put Fiscal year variant in the rows. Now create a formula and add all key figures which display data for diff fisc variants, like KF1 might display data for K4, KF2 might display data for V3, etc. Add KF1 + KF2 in the formula and hide the individual KF. But you should have fisc variant in rows, otherwise the data would be wrongly added.

Murali.

How to get Current Quarter and Fiscal Quarter for a Date - Fiscal Year starts from 1st April

Hi,
I need to calculate current quarter and fiscal quarter in my Sql query.
I have a column for DateTime Datatype.
I need to find out Current Quarter Name like Q12012, Q22012, Q32012, Q42012 and Fiscal Quarter Name as well.
Now Fiacal Year starts from 1st April, and Current Quarter starts from 1st Jan.
For Current Quarter of 2012
Jan-Mar = Q12012
Apr-Jun = Q22012
Jul-Sep = Q32012
Oct-Dec = Q42012
For Fiscal Quarter of 2012 ( starts from 1st Apr, 2011 )
Apr2011-Jun2011 = Q12012
Jul2011-Sep2011 = Q22012
Oct2011-Dec2011 = Q32012
Jan2011-Mar2012 = Q42012
means if its 1st April, 2012,
its a new Fiacal Year 2013 so Fiacal Quarter Name should be Q12013
and its Current Quarter Name should be Q22012
Can you help me to calculate this in a select query for given dates?
Thanks in advance,
Nirav

This should do it..
Select
FORMAT(datepart(quarter,getdate()),'Q#')+FORMAT(getdate(),'yyyy')
