FIscal Period Issue

Hi All,
I need to create variable for fiscal year/period but in my data source don't have fiscal period field. my data source is 2lis_04_p_arbpl. So please could anyone tell me how to solve this issue it's urjent.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
Create variable on the top of Fiscal year/period -- this holds the fiscal period only.
You said you are having Fiscal year/period field right which is nothing but fiscal period.
if you want to extract the data for fiscal period follow the below steps...
if fiscal period is not part of you data source -- you can add the Fiscal year/period field in DSO/IC and map the date field from the source the conversion will be taken care automatically while loading the data.
enter fiscal variant as constant - V3 or 01 -- as this is not used in your reports ....
You can use 0ACT_START -- actual start date ... or check with functional team...

Fiscal period issue in query?/

Hi all,
1) I need to have a variable-fiscal year/period (mandatory/single entry) in my query. but I have a problem to create one because my fiscal variant (for fiscal year/period) is filled by 'March' and in the 'filter' section. Now this variable shows 'March' in the selection screen automatically. Any advice??
2)If i use SAP default variable, then it will show 'not text availabe'. Can I avoid that? Thanks
3) if I use SAP default variable, do I also need to transport this variable to BWQ?
Thanks
J.

Hello john,
1. Are you ableto change this value from March to any other value?
2. Its just a text symbol of program SAPLRRSV and not going to affect the functionality of variable. You can ignore that and use SAP variable.
3.Yes, you need to transport it. But if this variable is already being used in some other query and has been transported as a part of that query, you need not transport it. But make sure that it is there in Q and PRD before omitting.

Issues with statistical modeling in calendar months vs 13 fiscal periods

In our demand planning, we plan at the fiscal period level (13 fiscal periods across a year - not matching with calendar months or year). We are having issues (strange results) trying to run the statistical modeling at the fiscal period level versus the calendar month level. Is there a way to run the stat modeling over fiscal periods rather than calendar months? Can we run stat modeling over a specific date range rathn than including the current month?

Hi Stephen, I guess I can assume the following:
1) In the master forecast profile, you have maintained the period indicator and the fiscal year variant
2) You are choosing a forecast strategy in univariate profile (?) that makes use of seasonality, and you are trying to maintain the number of periods in a season as 13 (in our case, our periods are custom, but there are still 12 periods, so different from your case)
3) Your history horizon in master forecast profile is more than the number of periods in the season i.e. history has more than 13 periods of data
If above things are already done and you still face issue when you try to use 13 periods in a season, looks to me like a SAP bug, and it would be best to raise an OSS message to SAP.

Issue creating planning query on cube partitioned by fiscal period

I have a cube that is partitioned by fiscal period (0FISCPER). This requires that there is a constant value for fiscal year variant (0FISCVARNT). When I try to create an agg level on this cube 0FISCVARNT is automatically pulled into the agg level. However, because 0FISCVARNT is set to a constant value it is not available in query designer to add into a planning query...as such, I cannot create a planning query on this cube.
I can repartition the cube (i.e. remove the partitioning), but does anyone know of any other work arounds?
Thanks.

We resolved this.

Fiscal Period and Calmonth issue in SSM 7.0

In Fiscvar V3 Where Fiscal Year is not from Jan to Dec but April to Mar, PAS not reading Fiscal Period correctly.
Workaround suggested is to Create BWFISCPERINFO document in PAS under the model and mention periodicity as
MONTHLY
2009001 200904
which means ist Fiscal Period of 2009 = 4th Month(april) of 2009.
The BW Query with oFiscper as Time Dimension is not importing data beyond March 2009 while BW Query
with 0Calmonth is populating upto current month of July 2009. What could be reason for this anaomaly in data import ?
M Akhtar

Good day M Akhtar,
I would suggest rechecking your BW Query with oFiscper to make sure that you have set the fiscal period to start in March and not set the data to be imported to only be March. It may be that your current settings are only bringing in the data for March.

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.

Fiscal Period ----- in BEx Report

Hi All,
I have a small issue.
in my report i want to give single selection for fiscal period like 0102005.
for these selection i want to display all previous period data in separate column
like 0012005 0022005 ............ 0102005
KF value KF value KF value
If any know it please guide me step by step.
Thanks
samit

Hi Saha,
You can do this with the help of variable offsets. Either you can create a series of restricted key figures, or if there are more than one KF being used, you may want to create a Fiscal Period structure andplace it in the columns too.
What you will be doing in both will be the same. Restrict the Fiscal Period char with the single entry variable, and for other columns, take the same restriction and set an offset of -1. Keep on increasing the value of offsets for each previous selection that you want.
For more details on how to set offsets, refer to this post:

Fiscal periods

Hi All,
I am having issue in getting the fiscal periods.
Let me explain in detail.
For example,For a particular employee if the BEGDA IS 01.01.2008 and ENDDA is 30.06.2008,
PERNR=1 BEGDA-01.01.2008, ENDA-30.06.2008.
So to get the fiscal period I have mapped the BEGDA to the fiscal period and Iam getting the fiscal period as 010.2008.
But if user gives fiscal period as 010.2008 while executing the report my report is giving correct result. But if he gives the other fiscal periods which are lying between the BEGDA and ENDDA except for 010.2008 for all other fiscal periods it is not showing any result.
So please help me out in getting the fiscal periods lying in between the BEGDA and ENDA.
Regards,
Haritha

Please check your date format, in BW the right format is YYYYMMDD

Fiscal Period displayed with a Z1

Hi
All fiscal period values are displayed with a Z1 in front of it in webi
But it does not happen in BEX, any ideas how to resolve this in the universe or query.
Thanks in advance

Ingo,
Is this an integration kit issue, I see the right value when I generate query using BEX. and moreover formula might work for display purpose but the LOV's are still going to be displayed with Z1
Any way we can address this in BEX query, our universes are based on BEX queries
Thanks

Macro to Unlock the Cell on the start day of the Fiscal period

Dear Experts
We are using fiscal periods for the forecasting.1 period = 15 days.We forecast for 24 fiscal periods.
We only give chance to some customers to update forecast on 1 day of the fiscal period in the customer planning book .In this regard we have to lock the cell all most all the days except on 1 st day of the fiscal period.If the first of the Fiscal period is Sunday or Saturday, system should not unlock.
We did not maintained any Time stream ID to the storage bucket profile.
Example:
KF1 is used by our customers to update forecast.This keyfigure should always in the unedit mode.On the first day of the Fiscal period system should unlock the keyfigure.If first day of the period is saturday or sunday then system should not unlock this keyfigure.
Can we use calender in Macro?
Is it possible to achieve above logic in our case since we did not maintained time stream ID in storage bucket profile.
Please give your expertise opinion on my requirment.
regards
Vicky

Hi Vicky,
Whilst other simpler options are given by others for locking /unlocking a KF with macros, Work around as below, if feasible in your environment.
Create two planning books (or with authorization at data view level, 2 data views).
One planning book PB1 with the KF1 in non-edit mode. This will be used normally.
Other planning book PB2 with KF1 in edit mode.
Create one more authorization profile/ role for each customer user.
Assign this additional authorization profile/ role only on specific dates as per background job to give additional authorizations.
Otherwise, if no. of user licenses is not an issue, then create an additional user id for each of the customer with additional authorizations and unlock these additional user accounts only on specific dates by background jobs.
We had in one project, some additional user accounts for similar( not exactly same) requirement. This gave better traceability.

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,
Gordon

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.

Nagesh Ganisetti.
