Extending the fiscal year

Forum,
It is likely that we are changing our financial year end on one company from 31st April to 31st August, the only viable way to account for this is to extend the year (rather than running a short year). Can you tell me what the procedure is for adding the extra 5 months to the end of this financial year?
Regards,
Juan

Web Report not printing the fiscal year period variable value

Hi,
In web report where in one text element, we enabled the fiscal year period variable value to display
in the report result.
If we run the report then this fiscal year period is displaying in the general information.
We have print button (Java Code), where user can take a printout of the same report.
In the printout this Fiscal year period is NOT PRINTING, other variables like rollup time, technical name of report etc are printing perfectly.
It is required to print the fiscal period also in the print out of the report.
Any help to come out of this.....
Thanks

"Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" PM03

We have an issue with the PM03 for the year 2010. "When the scheduler tries to schedule the pm..He gets an error "Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" The planner will close the work order then re-open it. The error will go away, but when the work order is scheduled there is 0 hours scheduled.. This will be a big issue if there are not any hours assigned to work orders.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Davison,
Please maintain the prices for the activity type, Cost center combination for the fiscal year 2010 using transaction KP26. The log generally disappears after you save and leave the transaction. You will see the log again only when you reschedule the order and are in the same transaction.
Also check whether "scheduling" has been activated for the PM03 control key for scheduling to be taken into consideration for the operation.You can view the same by using the drop down for the control key on the transaction.

SAP has Provided 3 Variable(Current Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2 like that 3 variables), my customer is looking for some more variables. Can any one help me out hhow to Calculte Current Quarter of the Fiscal Year 4. How can i see the code of the SAP EXit's. Based on that i will try to write the code.
Thanks in Advance!
Nagesh.

Hi Nagesh,
the code for SAP Exits must be in Function-Pools SAPLRS_BCT* (I'm not quite sure). But this code
seems to work different than customer Exits.
See How-To-Guide
https://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700002762582003E/HowToDeriveVariableValue.pdf
for a good example of how to implement Customer-Extis.
(It's a 2.x Guide but still valid for 3.x)

Hi Ajay,
Create a customer exit variable.Write the code in the include 'zxrsru01' using system date.
take the system date from the system date variable and using that you can get the current fiscal year period.use this value and using string commands, you can get period.
subtract 1 from this value.Using this you can get the previous fiscal period..
Please let us know, if you need the coding part

How can I extend the 2-year search window of Calendar search

How can I extend the 2-year search window of Calendar search in iPhone 5s ? I basically want 'Search' to search everything in the phone, not just restricted to a 2-year window.

See my link above... it's a documented limitation...
Calendar and Reminder search
Spotlight searches for the title of calendar events and reminders in a two-year window—it will reveal results from one year in the past and one year in the future. If an event has recurrences that fall in this range, it will find the event that is closest to the current date.
If multiple events have similar details (title, notes, location, and so on) and you search for these details, Spotlight will show the most recent event. To see more results, use search in Calendar or Reminders.

Defining the Fiscal Year Variant

Would someone explain the procedure for setting up the Fiscal year variant in the current version please.
The version I had used was 3.1h and the screens are now different. In 3.1h one simply copied the fiscal year variant (T.code OB29) using the copy command and one got a copy fiscal year dialog box in which one entered the data into the four fields. But none of this now happens.
In both the current version and the old version (3.1h) I select in column FV "V3" ( the Fiscal year variant I want ) copy V3 and now I want to create a new Fiscal Variant with my own company two letter designation (e.g. YZ) taking the V3 copy as the model to use. But I can't because nothing then happens.
In v3.1h a small sub window appeared when doing the copy ("copy icon") and in the first line was the copied designation code V3 with the description in the 2nd line and in the 3rd line one enterd one's own two letter company designation (e.g. YZ) plus the discription on line 4, click the tick and it was done.
How do I do that part now? Because this sub screen does not now appear when trying to do a copy and create a copy designation.

Hi Ton,
In transaction code OB29 for the later versions of SAP (i.e. 4+), you don't get a pop-up window. The system just copy the selected Fiscal Year Variant. That is the only one you would see once you have highlighted the year variant you want to copy from and you hit the "Copy" icon. All the fields you need to change would still be open. In the FV column, just change it from V3 to your new one YZ. Do the same for the description and the rest of the field you need to change and hit "Enter" on your keyboard. A diaglog box "Specify object to be copied" would appear. You can then "Copy All" or "only Copy Entry" depending on your need. If you select "Copy All", you would get a dialog box informing you of the number of dependent entries copied. You can then save your entries and carry out the rest of the set-up for "Periods", "Period Texts" and "Shortened Fiscal Years" as required by you.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

You have not maintained a rule for the fiscal year variant

1) I have Fiscal Year Variant in the Cube ( it got added along with fiscal year ) but there is no Fiscal year variant in the datasource & when I dont map it Transformation activation prompts error " You have not maintained a rule for the fiscal year variant ".
Can I just delete Fiscal year variant from the cube..does it matter?
2) Fiscal year & Posting Period can be populated from Fiscal Period, is the vice versa possible..? Does the sytem will take care of the conversion..?

1. no, you should not delete and you cannot delete fiscal year variant from cube, it's required by fiscal year/ period (compound infoobject), you should add it in your datasource, or you can map with a constant value e.g K4
2. yes, fiscal period can be populated by posting period

The system could not calculate the fiscal year start or finish date message

While running the transaction FMO1 and FMOA in funds management we have confronted with the following problem.
Message no. FI 500
The system could not calculate the fiscal year start or finish date.
WE are using year dependent fiscal year and are implementing Funds Management for the first time.
SAP Version 4.0 B
Priority Urgent
For the same problem in Version 4.5 and 4.6 there is a note number 213713 available on service.sap.com.

No, there is no bug.
Those activities that have asterisks (Stars) next to their start or finish dates (despite having no constraints) have "External Early Start" or "External Late Finish" dates, respectively, assigned to them. These dates get imported with XER and represent links to activities of those projects that are not in your database but in the external database where the XER originated from.
To remove, filter out all such activities (with stars) and delete their "External" dates. However, be aware that Start or Finish dates of such activities might change if you delete theire External dates. If getting rid of asterisks does alter your schedule, ask the person who sent you the XER to confirm start/finish dates of all such (starred) activiites.
Cheers

How to give the Fiscal year period in RSA3 for checking the data.

Hi BW Experts, good morning.
We have loaded the data monthlywise with selection parameters as Fiscal Year Period(FISCPER).
While checking the data consistency in both R/3 and BI, the selection parameter which i have given is in the format of         001.2005

How to change the fiscal year in the controlling area?

I want to change the fiscal year mentioned in the controlling area. The problem is that the controlling area is assigned to a company code and number ranges have been defined and cost center hierarchy has been created.
Please suggest me what to do?
Thanks in advance

Hi
If its a Productive system - You cant change the FY.. You need to take SAP SLO Service.. Its a chargeble one
If its a Test system and data is posted, then you need to delete the data 1st of all... I advise create a new contr area / comp code
"Activate components & Control Indicators" - Just COPY 2011 and make it 1900 or any year of your choice

Display data as per the fiscal year

Hi All,
Need a suggestion with formula building:
I have 2 columns, date which is the start of a fiscal year (04/01) and total cost next to it.
I want to display only that fiscal year and a total cost which falls in current fiscal year. Please let me know how would i create a formula so it reads the system date and displays the fiscal year and cost according.
Here is a sample of data:
Date          Cost
04/01/2010     100$
04/01/2011     75$
So ideally my report should display only row 1 and when run after 04/01/11 ie after 2-3 days it should display row 2
Thanks!

Thanks for your response Shastry, but I am having trouble understanding it. Not sure how the above steps will read the current date.
To be more specific, I want to display only that cost that falls in fiscal year.
In above example now since it is 03/26/2011 and my fiscal year starts on 04/01 . I want to display cost from row 1 and when the same report will be run after 04/01/2011 it should display cost from row 2.
Like wise if the report is run after n number of years , it should display cost as per the fiscal year at that time.
So i guess the formula should really depend on system date/current date/ print date
Thanks!
