Fiscal Variant

Data in split week (week crosses between 2 months) is not desegregating correctly. to resolve the problem, we are planning to use Fiscal variant.
Is it going to be a problem, when I release the fcst to R3 and SNP?  Both R3 and SNP are not using fiscal variants? We use data in daily buckets to R3 and SNP.
Desegregation of split week causes any problem, if quarterly and yearly check boxes are checked in storage bucket profile. My gut feeling, it should not cause any problem. (We are not using any quarterly or yearly time buckets).  I know, it’s going to store the data in both the buckets and UN necessarily occupies the LC space.
Any input is greately appreciated.
thx
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
      As you are using the Day Buckets in SNP, I am sure that there will be not issue in releasing to SNP though you are using FYV.

  • Time series inconsistency due to change in Fiscal variant/Storage bucket

    Hi All,
    We got into the situation where running time series consistency check on a DP planning area fails with  the message pointing to, 'changes to Fiscal variant'.  We are unable to track any changes to the fiscal variant though there is a possibility that storage bucket horizon could have been changed. Is there a way to correct/synch this by running a report?
    We are trying to avoid re-initialization here, though this is an option, for the obvious reasons to backup the data in production. Is there an alternative solution to fix this inconsistency?
    Cheers!

    Dear Ashok,
    You should never change a FYV when this FYV is used in a storage
    bucket profile which is used in a planning area and if time series
    objects are already created. It is no problem to maintain the FYV for
    an additional time range, but changes and deletion of periods should
    never be made if the FYV is actively used. You should not
    change existing periods. If you want to make any changes to buckets
    in your FYV or delete buckets, you should always make a COMPLETE
    backup of ALL your data from the planning area into an InfoCube,
    then delete the time series objects for the planning area (and with
    this all the data in liveCache) and then change the FYV. After that,
    you can create time series objects again and reload the data from the
    Backup-InfoCube into the planning area. If you do these steps, you
    will not risk to loose any data. The data in the InfoCube will be
    the backup you can reload.
    As some processes check the FYV some time before and after it is used,
    it is very recommendable to maintain the FYV at least 2 - 3 years in
    the past and in the future. E.g. if you create time series objects up
    from 2001 you should maintain your FYV at least back to 1999 and if you
    create time series objects until 2006, you should maintain your FYV
    at least until 2008. It might be that you never experience problems if
    you do not maintain the FYV in this time range, but some processes do
    additional checks and then it can come to problems

  • Fiscal variant error

    Hi All
    I got an error query execution by SAP BEX " value 000 is invalid for the fiscal year variant ".
    Thanks Prasanna

    Hi Prasanna,
    If you are using any SAP EXIT or Customer exit for Fiscal variant, just check the values for the same '000' may not be executed in the routine.If the value exists for Fiscal variant and it is not required for report just do a selective deletion at cube level and try to execute the query.
    Hope this helps.........

  • Maintaining Fiscal Variant Between R3 and BW

    Are the fiscal variants between R3 and BW maintained automatically through business content?
    If so, how do I go about making sure the fiscal variants in BW are updated with those in R3?

    Hi Chad,
    In RSA1 > Modeling > Source Systems, right click the R/3 source system and choose Transfer Global Settings. Here you can check mark Fiscal Year Variants and execute.

  • Fiscal Variant, Holidays for Time Stream IDs

    While choosing the periodicities for a planning area, I have to choose a storage bucket profile and the fiscal variant. Can any one tell where and how actually to create the fiscal variant(or for that matter, fiscal calendar) by myself.
    Also, please let me know how I can create a time stream ID with holidays-both regular(weekends) and special.

    HI Gurucharan,
    For the Fiscal year variant go to OB29 transaction in R/3 (actually should be done by FI consultant) where the fical year period is maintained like 12 months or 16 months. This can be transferred to APO.
    Time stream Id is just mapping a Factory calender in it. When the forecast transferred to R/3 the forecast orders wouldn't be created on holidays.
    There are standard Fiscal year variants are there. Please check.

  • Single Query with multiple fiscal variants / fiscal period

    Experts,
    Currently we have two different queries 1) for US and 2) for Mexico.
    Both the queries are hard-coded with respective company codes and different fiscal variants. We have i step =1 variable, so in both query we have respective fiscal period by default in variable screen.  The user can decide to run the query for current fiscal period or manually overwrite it for past few fiscal periods.
    Now, we want to consolidate two queries into a single one and behind the scene depending on company code entered by user we want the query to run for default period AND we also want user to have liberty to change it for different fiscal periods (similar to istep 1 variable) which is hard coded for each query. Please advice how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    Hi Durgesh,
    I agree with part 1- we can let user select his company code, but my challenge is pre-populate or get the default fiscal period for different company codes.
    2) You can keep rest of the things as it is, because you will be populating the default period value and if user want he can select the required value manually.
    (Alok) =  So if user runs report in Nov'2011 = the US fiscal period is 002/2012; but for Mexico it might be 011/2011 - so is there any way where we can give this value in prompt screen and at the same time not let user remember these values...
    Since with single query and without hardcoding how to determine the current fiscal period for different company codes?

  • Fiscal Week and Fiscal Variant Creation in BW

    Hi,
    I have a 2004s system that is not connected to an R/3/ECC client.  The data comes from a SQL Server Database.  We need to report on a fiscal week basis and not a calendar week.
    We have a seperate calendar week that finance uses, but operations uses a different work week (Tues - Mon). 
    I figure the best way to handle this is by creating a Fiscal Variant of 53 periods (one for each week).  My problem is that I cannot right click on the R/3 source system and import all of the Fiscal Periods.  I have to create them in BI directly. 
    Can anyone advise me on how to do this?  I have completed the following steps:
    1.) I went into SPRO=> SAP NetWeaver=> Business Intelligence=> General BI Settings=> Maintain Fiscal year variant.
    2.) Then I created variant ZA with Year-Dependent and 53 periods.  I left special periods blank.
    3.) I create the periods for 2007 and 2008 making 1/6/07 the last day of the first period of 2007 and 12/29/07 the last day of the last period of 2007 and one final entry for 12/31/07 for period 1 year shift +1.  2008 was set up similarly.
    4.) I setup the period texts naming them as 1/ FW 1 ... to 53/ FW 53 for both 2007 and 2008.
    5.) I then went into SHortened Fiscal Year and made both 2007 and 2008 to have 52 periods.
    Am I missing something here?  When I load my data I get the following error:
    "Fiscal year variant ZA is not maintained for calendar year 2007" and I get this error on over 100 records of my 1300 record load.  Some Dates are 2/18/08 which isn't in FY07 and others are 1/8/07 - 1/10/07.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Delete old Fiscal variant / Fiscal Periods / Fiscal Year from the BW

    Hi
    When initially Loading data we had different fiscal variant for each source system.
    This was found not to be correct and after the initial load we reloaded the same data with a common fiscal variant across source systems.
    Now the problem we have on hand is that we do not want the old Fiscal variant / Fiscal Periods / Fiscal Year to show up in the F4 pop up.
    Is there a way to delete these old Fiscal variant / Fiscal Periods / Fiscal Year from the BW System.
    regards

    Hi,
    Go to your infoprovider, select the required characteristic and in the Infoprovider specific properties under the F4 values for filter option, you can choose "Only values from infoprovider data".
    Just check if this option is available with time characteristics or not.

  • In OB29 which box should I flag on if I want to select my fiscal variant N6

    Hello,
    On BW side I want to select my fiscal year varaint as N6, so I go to tcode OB29 and which cloumn should i flag on the first one or second (year dependent or calendar year) right now none of that boxes are selected. ?
    The calendar year cloumn has 5 boxes flaged on K0 to K5 what does that mean ?
    Can i make the changes staright away in production?
    After making the changes do i have to reload the data to get right periods for the transaction data?
    Thanks in advance

    fiscal year variants are usually defined on the source system. We transfer the global settings from the source system to BI for currencies, fiscalyear variants, UOM, factory calender. Go to source system, right click on ur source system - transfer global settings - fiscalyear variants - Mode - update tables.

  • Different fiscal variant for same controlling area

    Hi,
    as my client requirement is having 3 company codes two having same fiscal year variant another having different fiscal year for legal requirement operating under same same county.
    i have maintain all the setting for the 3 company codes but .
    but when i enter to maintain controlling area  OKKP.
    system is throwing following error.
    Differing fiscal year variants: V3 - ZP
    Message no. KT297
    Diagnosis
    Fiscal year variant V3, controlling area SQRE, does not agree with fiscal year variant ZP, company code 3000.
    The following entries must agree:
    u2022     Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
    u2022     Same period limits
    Procedure
    Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.
    Please suggest me how to proceed further in this case.
    thanks
    kareem

    Hi Kareem
    What you are doing is not correct
    All comp codes under the Contrr Area must have same FYV and same Ch of accounts
    1. Go to IMG and assign same FYV to the 3rd comp code
    2. Go to IMG > FI (New) > Global Settings > Ledgers > Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers
    Here,  activate parallel ledger for this 3rd comp code and assign the other FYV in the parallel ledger
    Also maintain the Doc No ranges for parallel ledger because your FYV will be different between Main and Parallel ledger

    1. Can you help me interpret the second table and how it relates to the K6 row in the first table?
    2. In particular, I will appreciate some clarification on the Year shift and in the column period, why it started from 7; and why after 12, it switched to 1.
    4. Can you give a reason why in some cases K6 will be used while in others K7  or K4 will be used.
    3. Also, some help I’ve gotten so far were suggesting that to modify the variant I go to:
    AC Financials ® FI Financial Accounting  General Ledger Accounting ® FI - Closing and Reporting ® Fiscal Year.
    I could not find this instruction under BW. Was it some R3 instruction of BW?

    Hi,
    I believe the "year shift" column is meant for the non-calendar fiscal year.
    eg in a Calender year  
    Jan  Feb  Mar  Apr  May  Jun
    Fiscal year definition
    Period
    10   11   12   1    2    3
    Year Displacement
    -1   -1   -1   0    0    0
    It is just telling the system that when it is eg 21 Jan 2006, the fiscal year to be captured will be FY 2005.  When it turns 01 Apr 2006, the FY will be 2006.
    In your eg, it is following the logic that when it is 01 June 2006 the FY will be 2006. But when it turns 01 July 2006 the FY will be captured as 2007.
    By the way, the special periods are meant for capturing adjustment.
    For more information on the year shift, please see
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/96/8b2fc843ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
    In BW, these are considered the basic settings, alongside with the currency definition.  Go into SBIW in BW to see the basic settings for currencies and fiscal variant defined.  Usually when the BW system is set up, these 2 settings will be read into the system as part of the initial configuration.

  • While activation of DSO error SID genarati No fiscal year variant specified

    Hi all,
    While activationg the DSO i am getting error called SIDgenaration " No fiscal year variant specified"

    How to solve this error please somebody let me know ASAP
    Regards

    Hi.......
    For some particular value of Fiscal variant it is failing............ in ODS activation.......in the log it will not show that value...........but if load fails due to SID issue then log generally shows the particular value.......
    You load the master data for fiscal year varinat .........then activate it.......using program.......RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN..........then tepeat the ODS activation.......this is to run attribute change run.............you can also do it from RSA1........
    You can also change the said settings in the above post..........but it should'nt done in PROD........
    Hope this helps.....

    please do this operation..
    Go to RSA1-> source systems->select R/3 system -> right click->Transfer global settings->Fiscal year varaints->rebuild tables
    then try to repeat the load...the load will be fine if the calender is maintained in R/3 if not raise this issue to the functional people...
