Fiscal period calculation

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein I need to get the following information.
I have a Fiscal period for Post_period1 which refers to the MARV-VMGJA/ MARV-VMMON, and another Fiscal period as Post_period2 which refers to MARV-VMMON.
I need to find out the fiscal period by deducting the posting period2 from posting period1
e.g. 2010/03 is the post_period1, 12 is post_period2 . I want the value which will be "2010/10 - 12". How can I achieve this?
Regards,
Vaishali.

Want to make fiscal quarters from fiscal periods in Info design tools

Dear Gurus:
I have new reporting requirement for fiscal quarters, currently I have fiscal periods and fiscal years in my business layers. I have two questions from you guys.
1) Which is the better way to achieve this. Should I try to make it in IDT or Should we make it in BW and then load data again. Also if there is an impact on performance choosing any of the options.
2) If I made it IDT how should I achieve this, considering I need prompt on fiscal quarters dimension.

Hi
If BW as back-end of your dashboard, as per the best practice, pushed down to database level all the predefined time periods and include at the Bex Query level.
So in the BO dash board we can just drag and drop. So it’s will improve the performance also.
Please find the below like’s Universe Optimization Techniques, pushed down all the calculation to database level

Creating backdated invoices after last date of fiscal period

Hello experts
In our business, it is a rule to keep the billing period open for two days even after the last day of the fiscal period. For example,
P10 ends on 29/10/2011, but that period is not closed until 31/10/2011(P11 date) so that the users can create all the invoices for that month. Please note that period 11 is not opened till 1/11/2011 (after closing p10).
Now,order related invoices are created thru an interface program. The user only sends in the "service date" which is mapped to the fixed value date field in SAP and we have defaulted the system date as the billing date to enable posting. The problem arises for the invoices created on the two days mentioned above as the invoices will not post into accounting if the billing date is 30/10 and 31/10 as P11 is not open yet.
How do i make sure that invoices created on the two month end days post into accounting with a billing date of 29/10 (a P10 date)? I can use the FM- FI_PERIOD_CHECK to check if the billing date is in the open period, but how do i populate the billing date field as an open period date automatically without manually changing it for all the invoices that have not posted?
The service date sent in has to be mapped to the fixed value date field because of aging purposes.
Would appreciate your valuable help here.
Thanks

Hi,
Function module FI_PERIOD_CHECK can be included in the program to check if the fiscal period is open or not.
Discuss with the ABAPER and include logic that in case the fiscal period is not open the default date should not be system date. Instead another date which is calculated using the FM - CALCULATE_DATE.
In the FM- CALCULATE_DATE give the logic how the date should be calculated.
Discuss with ABAPER for this.

Closing and opening in new fiscal period

Hi
I am going to close last fiscal period and open new period . What should I do step by step for closing inventory and BP and Accounting and Open them in new Period. does system has any facility to do these step automatically.
Thanks in advance

PEC is a tool to use for you to close any periods. What it does is mainly creating certain retained earning entries. There is no way to do anything automatically for you. You may need to define new fiscal periods first before you do Period-End Close.
Thanks,

Option to show values up to last closed fiscal period or up to current date

Hello,
How would I create a query that would ask if I want it to calculate values 'up to the current date' or for the 'latest closed fiscal period'.
Currently I have setup a report, within which, has restricted key figures that will give the 'Period to date', 'Year to Date', and 'Last Year Year to Date' values for some RKFs, however, it would be very helpful if this report could be setup so that the user could choose whether the report provides:
1. Values only through the last closed fiscal period
or
2. Values up to the current date.
<b>For example</b> if we are in period 7 of 2006, the user could have the report show all values up to the last closed fiscal period, which in this case would be period 6 of 2006.
Or the user could have the report show all the values up to the current date.
Hopefully I have been clear,
Thanks,
Nick

Nick,
What is the problem you are facing? As San mentioned you can only report till Last Fiscal Period using Customer Exit Variables(Calculate Current Fiscal Period using Current Month and Fiscal Year Variant).
Or as you mentioned you can create restricted Key Figures using Date or month (YTD etc)
If i miss your requirement, please guide me.

Last Closed Fiscal Period

Hi All
How can I identify the Last Closed Fiscal Period in a query variable ?
eg. The current calendar month is Feb which is Fiscal period 11 (Variant is Z3). However Finance still have January open so they want to report YTD figures up to and including December (Fiscal periopd 9).
I have created a user exit variable (with help from SDN) that works out the YTD range for the fiscal periods but it uses system date to calculate current period. Therefore, the current fiscal period is coming out at 11 but I need 9. When the Month End occurs on Friday the current fiscal month should become 10.
All help appreciated.

Hi Surender
I need a variable that does not have any user interaction, and will determine the range of periods that constitute the current fiscal year. The range should start at 1 and end at the last closed fiscal period as maitained on R3.
I have decided to bite the bullet extract the table T100B from R3. It contains details on all open periods.
I am trying to load it as master data. Its the first tme I have done this type of work so taking some time.
I have created the extractor and a characteristic with attributes to hold this info. I then plan to read this data in the variable to work out the range.
If there is a simpler way to do this then please advise.

Hi,
when you give a particular date in any month
the following fm will give you the last date of that month
here you can give
R_FDATE-HIGH as 01 and month as the period you wnat and year for current year
concatenates '01' month year into r_fdate-high separated by '.'.
then it will give g_ltdt for that month and year which wil be the last date of that month
    CALL FUNCTION 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
      EXPORTING
        DAY_IN            = R_FDATE-HIGH
      IMPORTING
        LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = G_LTDT
      EXCEPTIONS
        DAY_IN_NO_DATE    = 1
        OTHERS            = 2.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

Fiscal Period in 0PA_C01

The cube 0PA_C01 works on the basis of calmonth and it is easy to map it to fiscal period if each fiscal period corresponds to a whole calendar month.
But we are facing a peculiar situation where the Client's fiscal periods are irregular and do not correspond to exact calendar months.For example Fiscal Period 01.2009 corresponds to the period 02.04.2009 to 29.04.2009 and not to Calendar month April'09.
In such a case it is becoming a challenge to extract the headcount on the basis of fiscal period from the cube 0PA_C01.
Could any one offer a clue as to how this could possibly be achieved?

Hello Rajeev,
you can always use FM DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT during extraction in ZXRSAU01 or in transfer/update rules on BW. Remember to transfer Global Settings from source system to BW when using second method. Don't forget about transfer data to 0FISCVARNT as well.
Thanks = points.

Using fiscal period and Fiscal quarter reporting seemlessly in a BI Query

Hi,
We have a very specific issue. Reporting the Fiscal Period( in our
case we have 53 fiscal periods) and Fiscal Quarter( we have 4 quarters)
in the same query seamlessly as we would have done using Calander Month
and Calander quarter in other reports that uses SAP delivered standard
time dimensions.
However unlike the Calander time dimension (SAP provided all
possible...0CALDAY, 0CALWEEK, 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALYEAR) where you have all of these inside your info provider, you can get
aggregation on week, month, quarter etc in your query seamlessly, The Fiscal Year/Period offers a problem in doing report seamlessly.
When we delve into Fiscal realm, SAP only provided with 0FISCVARNT,
0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and a special period 0FISCPER3. It doesn't provide
anything like 0FISCQUARTER etc and rightly so, because you can have
only one 0FISCVARNT in the Time dimension and can have related periods
(0FISCPER) only for a Row of data in your infocube. For example if you need to model as per the Fiscalweek, you can create a custom Fiscal year variant (Say z1) and can configure to have only 53 periods (Mapped to 0FISCPER) representing
53 Fiscal WEEK. Similarly for mapping Fiscal Quarter you can create
another fiscal year variant (Say Z2) and have only 4 periods (mapped to
0FISCPER also in this case) to represent the 4 Fiscal Quarter. However
the issue is that for one record you can only map either of those and
not both since you can only have one Fiscal year variant in one row of
data in the info provider.
For example
If I have two rows OF DATA coming from different sources (One FOR
Fiscal Week and another for Fiscal Quarter) I can have the following in
my info provider.
1> Example data in Fiscal
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER Quantity
X ...... y .....10/22/07 ....Z1 .... 432007 .......10
X ....... Y .....10/22/07 ....Z2 .... Q32007 .......20
The issue is how do I report the Quantity in a query in Quarter Q3 as
(10 + 20 = 30) since both the rows corresponds to FISCAL Q32007?
(Please note that Fiscal week 432007(For VARIANT Z1 ) actually is
Fiscal Quarter Q32007( For Fiscal Variant Z2) as per our
configuration of Fiscal Year Variant configuration Z1 and Z2)
The same is very simple when I have infoprovider with CALENDAR Time
dimensions , for example if we dont have any fiscal reporting
requirement and just report on calendar time dimension the record in
the info provider would look like the following ( example)
2> Example Data in CALENDAR DIMENSION
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0CALWEEK 0CALQUARTER Quantity
X ........ y .......10/22/07 .......432007 .......Q32007 .......10
X ........Y .......10/22/07 ....... 442007 .......Q32007 .......20
Here we can use both 0CALQUARTER and get the data aggregated on the
quarter level in addition to the 0CALWEEK.
To solve this issue, One option that we are thinking of Using 0CALQUARTER to represent the
Fiscal Quarter and use Update rule to populate this one. For example
THE example 1 can be as follows.
1A> Example of using 0CALQUARTER along with 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCPER
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER 0CALQUARTERE Quantity
X .......y .......10/22/07 ..............Z1 .......432007 .......Q32007 ..............10
X .......Y .......10/22/07 ..............Z2 .......Q32007 .......Q32007 ..............20
In this case we would populate the 0CALQUARTER by the actual Fiscal
Quarter and then can use both as per example 2 above. But this is not a
smooth option since we have various other info providers to join and
report based on solely Fiscal Quarter etc
I am certain that this issue have already been solved by somebody as this bound to happen in any finance application.
Would appreciate if we can get some light on this regarding the data modelling, reporting etc.
Thanks
Arun G.

You have yourself suggested a solution, which is fine,
Other option is to have a new characteristic Fiscal Qtr in all the infoproviders ans update the same using a routine in the updaterule depending on the fiscal year variant.
for eg. for transaction with variant Z1 in one case you can say if fiscal week 01 between 01 to 13 the Fiscal Qtr should be update with1 and if it is between 14 to 26 then update fiscal qtr with 2 and so on.
For other Variants Z2 you write a different login in the routine ans so on.
so for all the data irrespective of the variant you will have the qtr as either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and you can report on this fiscal qtr.
assign points if it helps.

Problem with BI-IP and Offsets in Fiscal Period/Year

Hi freinds,
I got a request that is linked to BI-IP and Query design.
The request is that the users should always see a complete year by Fiscal Periods (001.2010...012.2010).
Now the BI-IP should be dynamic. This means in 007.2010 the user should plan 008.2010...012.2010, the previous month are supposed to be the actuals.
Problem: I do not want to change the query each month in order to move the planning month. I tried to use an offset with 11 month actuals. Saying "current month/Year", -1,-2,...,-11 using 11 restricted key figures. Same I did for the planning month. I now limited the Data to 2010 in the filter and anywhere I could. However, the result columns are showing all 22 Month. 001.2010...007.2010 are the only once which carry data. all other columns are empty.
I just do not want to see the columns that do not belong to the current year.
Any ideas or How to's I can use?
Thanx and best regards
Joerg

Sorry, but I can't imagine how that should work.
I have two Cubes combined under a Multicube. One containing the Actuals and one for the Forecasts. To show the actuals I have to create a restricted key figure that shows the actuals and for the forecast I have to select differently.
What is the exit variable supposed to do? I could use a SAP Provided variable to find out about the first month and the actual month, but since it will be a restricted keyfigure it will be shown as sum between the two month. I need for each month of the year a column, and the "open" Month should be input ready. And this should be dynamic.
Thanks for helping
Joerg

Defining an exit variable for a specific day based on Fiscal Period

If I do not have Calendar Day time dimension available for reporting is it possible to define a customer exit variable for a specific day. The days are the first and last day of the financial year?
Example
User Input for Fiscal Period: 2009004
The exit is to define a value for 01.01.2009 and 31.12.2008 (end of last year)
Thanks

Hello Niten,
yes it is possible. Procedure:
- add a new column in the report structure
- hide this column
- create a new text variable in this column (for customer exit)
- now you can fill this variable during query execution based on 0FISCPER
You don't want to filter by this variable. Right?
Buy,
André

Report to forecast based on fiscal period

Has anyone done any financial reports which display data based on fiscal periods? The ProjectData service doesn't expose fiscal period (neither does the REST API under _api/ProjectServer). I saw a previous post (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7999cdf1-16fd-4efd-b7de-964bfeceb8f6/utilization-reports-by-fiscal-period?forum=projectserver2010general)
that said to use the BI Center in PWA.
In the case of Project Online I think what it means is that I need to use the Time entity from Timesheet actuals. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Roland

Hi Roland,
Indeed I couldn't find any fiscal year in the
project odata references. Maybe other folks on the forum could give you a different answer. But if it turns to be true, you'll either have to deal with the time dimension, or to extract the raw data by day
then do a transformation with Excel formula, code, VBA...
Hope this helps,
