Fiscal Period Definition

Is there a way to use the 13 months setting for a fiscal year, but have the periods defined as 4-3-3-3, instead of 4 for all?

Tom,
It is more manual work, but you could define a 13 month model, and the manually edit the end dates of each Fiscal Period, as necessary, to match with your period definition.

Hi Vasu,
Sample Code.
When <Variable Name>
Data : l_p_range_test TYPE rrrangesid.
data: l_peri like T009B-POPER,
 l_year like T009B-BDATJ.
IF I_STEP = 1.(This is for default value) before query execution.
--> use following function module to derive period from system date(sy-datum)
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
EXPORTING
 I_DATE = sy-datum
 I_PERIV = <Fiscal variant>
IMPORTING
 E_BUPER = l_peri
 E_GJAHR = l_year

Assignment of different fiscal periods

Hi all,
I´m seeking for a solution for different fiscal periods and how it is possible to configure them for reporting.
My current configuration is that data in BW is assinged
Sep 10 to Sep 10
Okt 10 to Okt 10
Dec 10 to Dec 10
and so on.
The correct assignment should be
Sep 10 to Dec 10
Okt 10 to Jan 11
Nov 10 to Feb 11
Dec 10 to Mar 11
and so on.
How and where could this assignment be realized?
In the DataWarehouse or is it more for Business Explorer or Query Designher definition?
Thanks for your help.

Do I have to do it in one transformation? For example: map calendar month to fiscal period and in this transformation I can set also the fiscal variant as M4 (M4 means?)?
Or is each field mapped separately? Calendar month to fiscal period and fiscal variant to fiscalvariant?
Because at the moment I´dont have a fiscal variant in my data source which I could use for mapping. The fiscal variant is actual taken out of the accounting area and mapped to 0FISCVARNT at transformation level.

Fiscal Period and MM period.

Hi all,
Can somebody explain the difference b/w Fiscal Period and MM Period in business context. Detail explanation will be helpful.
thanks & regards,
Prashant Rathore.

Dear,
Fiscal Year Definition
Usually a period of twelve months for which a company regularly creates financial statements and checks inventories.
The fiscal year may correspond exactly to the calendar year, but this is not obligatory.
Under certain circumstances a fiscal year may be less than twelve months (shortened fiscal year).
Fiscal Year Structure
A fiscal year is divided into posting periods. Each posting period is defined by a start and a finish date. Before you can post documents, you must define posting periods, which in turn define the fiscal year.
In addition to the posting periods, you can also define special periods for year-end closing.
In General Ledger Accounting, a fiscal year can have a maximum of twelve posting periods and four special periods. You can define up to 366 posting periods in the Special Purpose Ledger.
What is the Use of Fiscal Year
In order to assign business transactions to different time periods, you must define a fiscal year with posting periods. Defining the fiscal year is obligatory.
You define your fiscal year as fiscal year variants which you then assign to your company code. One fiscal year variant can be used by several company codes.
You have the following options for defining fiscal year variants:
Fiscal year same as calendar year
Fiscal year differs from calendar year (non-calendar fiscal year). The posting periods can also be different to the calendar months.
You define your fiscal year variants in Customizing for Financial Accounting as follows: Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Fiscal Year ® Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fiscal Year)
MM Periods
Closing operations are periodic tasks and can be subdivided in FI as follows:
u2022     Day-end closing
u2022     Month-end closing
u2022     Year-end closing
The closing operations component helps you prepare and carry out the activities required for day-end, month-end, and year-end closing. For this purpose, the system provides a series of standard reports that you can use to generate evaluations and analyses directly from all of the posted account balance. The system helps you carry out the following:
u2022     (Time-based) accruals/deferrals of expenses and revenues
u2022     Creating the balance sheets and P&L statements
u2022     Documenting the posting data
Prerequisites
To carry out the closing operations in G/L accounting, you first need to carry out the closing operations in the subledger accounting areas you are using. These include:
u2022     Accounts receivable and accounts payable accounting
u2022     Inventory accounting
u2022     Asset accounting
u2022     Payroll accounting

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.
For example 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.
Regards

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

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
