Fiscal Year field when Setting up posting period

Hi,
Our client has financial year from 1st July - 30 June. How we normally do is:
for 1/7/2007 - 30/6/2008, Fiscal Year field = 2008 and 1/7/2008 - 30/6/2009, Fiscal Year field = 2009. etc etc.
However, what I notice is:
When creating new period, eg: for 1/7/2008 - 30/6/2009, SAP will default the Fiscal Year = 2008. So, it really requires our client to be very careful and overwrites the default.
My question is:
(a) Does the field 'Fiscal Year' play any signigicant role in SAP?
(b) What is your normal approach about filling in this 'Fiscal Year' field?
(c) We also notice that when we put in 2008 as the Fiscal Year, when writing report using XL Reporter, we can never reply on the Period code. We need to refer to the Period name instead. It is rather confusing for some of our client.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi
I'm not sure what impact that it has but I usually change it to be 2008 (Jul 07 to Jun 08) etc.. as this make more sense to our clients.
Also, I change the period names to be more logical as well, like July 2007 rather than 2007/08-1. This means that on reports (like XLReporter) it makes more sense to the non-financial people receiving the reports.

How to roll up Amount field upto Input Criteria Posting period

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a FI Budget report where the User will give the Posting Period as the input criteria, and based on the entered Posting period, 2 amount fields, "Original Budget" & "Current Month" need to get derived by looking at another amount field called actual, by rolling up the Amounts up to the entered Posting period.
For example, the user gives input as Posting period = 06, which is December because Fiscal year starts from July here. And my Cube has an amount field "Actual" which displays amount for each posting period. Therefore when posting period = 06, then the "Actual" amount value for months July (PP = 01) through December (PP = 06) should be rolled up i.e added and displayed in the "Original Budget field". The Current month should only display the amount for the input criteria month.
How can I do that, any suggestions please?
Thanks!!

Hi Sam,
Is there any way i could do it without the SAP Exit? If yes, how? If no, can u specify in the document you sent, which code i could use as reference for my requirement?

Asset Fiscal Year End Closing - Depreciation not posted completely in 2010

Hi Experts,
I have an issue concerning AA 2010 year end closing, since there is one asset which depreciation in 2010 was not posted completely, meaning that we cannot close 2010 fiscal year.
This happened because of the following situation:
Vendor Incoice was posted in 30.12.2010, with a document date 31.03.2010 (meaning that for this asset the depreciation calculation start date was 01.03.2010). Then, in 30.03.2011 someone post the reversal document, with posting date 31.12.2010.
So for this asset I donu2019t have any depreciation posted in 2011 and no values in depreciation book, for the asset, meaning that even if I change the depreciation calculation start date for 01.01.2011, it will still be necessary to run depreciation in Dec.2010.
However I cannot run depreciation for this asset for 2010 because it will have impact in 2010 balance sheet, which cannot happen.
Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Andreia Nascimento

Hi,
As i have already suggested you for the [SIMILAR THREAD|Re: Asset Fiscal Year Closing not possible], which you have only posted in FI forum, there is no other alternative than running the repeat dep run for FY 2010 for period 12.
Please do not cross post your questions.

Previous Year entries after defining the posting period

Dear Experts,
I have defined the posting period with the new period indicators. I have also defined the new numbering series for the current year and assigned the period indicator for the current year to the documents.
Now my client wants to do some document entries in the previous year period. but when we open the document it is showing the current year series only. even though the previous periods are unlocked, it is not showing the document series of the previous posting period in the documents.
we are using B1 2007 B PL 13. Please help me.
thanks and regards,
Yeshwanth Prakash

Hi!
Once after you change your posting date (Previous year date ) in the document system will automatically show the previous Series

Automation setting of posting periods

Hi,
Every month we do update posting period table (OB52) manually. We closed the previous month and open the next month (current months+next month). Can we automate this process, that we no need to carry out this process manually.
Thanks

You should be able to automate this process by scheduling a batch job to run on the last day of every month.

Attributes for the XI field , when it is posting data to a CLOB field in DB

Hi all..
In my scenario XI is posting data to a database using StoredProcedure, in which one of the fields is of CLOB type and is declared as IN parameter.
Now what are the attributes to be used in xi for this field.
1) is it only isInput
2) or both isInput and isOutput
Thanks in advance
Manohar.

I have already declared it as String.
As we are StoredProc at the database side, the fields in XI should have the attributes like isInput,isOutput and type. and in SAP help library its given as CLOB is and (input and output parameter)
now the problem is regarding the attributes and not the data type.

Shorten fiscal year

Dear gurus,
currently, our company would like to change the financial year end from FY2010 (jan- Dec) to (March to Feb). We are using FIAA and CO. Currently the controlling area code is accross companies. Now, we are in month of July 2010. Therefore, can i extend my period from 12 periods to 14 periods in SAP? i understand SAP has the feature of "shortening fiscal year". However, i would like to have details steps on it.
Please helps.
Thank you.
Regards
Kee Hwee, Lee

Hi,
In SAP, the Shortening fiscal year stands for which fiscal year contains less than "12 posting periods" is called as a shortend fiscal year and it would suits to your requirement tentatively for 2 months (Jan and Feb).
But, how do you draw the balance sheet for the whole year for upcomming year?
In Generally, the shortend Fiscal Year would be used at the begining of the SAP use, the business go live is for few months rather than one full fiscal year.
I suggest you to go, to use the Leading and Non-Leading Ledger Concept for the same. So then, you can keep the fiscal year K0, K1, K2, K3, K4 (Any one - Jan to Dec) and create a new fiscal year for your requirement of March to Feb. You do get the reports for both the Fiscal Year Variance at once.

Postings in shortened fiscal year period

Hi expert,
We are trying to do a fiscal year change from Fiscal year variant V3 with Non Calendar year Apr to Mar to Calendar year.
This will result in shortening the fiscal year to 9 periods and omitting period 10 to 12.
However, for the company that we are trying to change the fiscal year variant, there are CO posting made to period 10 and 11.
We understand that there are many documentations that there should not have postings in period 10 and 11. What else can we do to enable us to enable the shortened fiscal year ? Will reversing the documents make any difference?

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your instant reply. I have activated the key and set the OAYP settings in FI-AA
Anything else ,please let me know.

Invalid value for Fiscal year/period

Hi all,
I have an user exit variable which populates the fiscal year period value from two separate fields.
1) Fiscal Period
2) Fiscal Year
But when I contatenate it and place it in the format 200601 the report in BEx gives me the error
"Value 200601 for user-exit variable ZRMA_FIP is invalid"
ZRMA_FIP is my variable name
The code I have is:
WHEN 'ZRMA_FIP'.
l_yr_zrma_fip = l_v_cur_year.
l_per_zrma_fip = l_v_cur_period.
CONCATENATE l_yr_zrma_fip l_per_zrma_fip INTO
l_calmth_zrma_fip.
        r_vari-low = l_calmth_zrma_fip.
        r_vari-sign = 'I'.
        r_vari-opt = 'EQ'.
        APPEND r_vari TO e_t_range.

Items are in different fiscal years - Posting

Hello
Here one user is doing a transaction F-32 for clear customer items. He has to clear items but the items were posted in different fiscal years. When he tries to post the document, it gives the message "Items are in different fiscal years". few items are in the last year and rest are in the current year. Both the fiscal years are open in the case. How can I post the document ?

can you provide the message number.
can you also confirm if this is an error, warning or message.
As standard you should be able to clear open items from different fiscal years.
Are you matching invoices off with a zero balance?
Also can you confirm if you have activated document splitting?
