Fiscal Year Variance Change affected AA Balance and Recalculation of Values

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where we change the Fiscal Year Variance on certain Company Codes. The Fiscal Year Changes were on Period 12 from Nov 26th to Dec 31st (last Fiscal Year Var was until Dec 25th), and Period 1 of next Year will already start at 1st of Jan (Last Fiscal Year Variance was from Dec 26th) until 26th of Jan.
We encountered a discrepancy on some reports especially on the FI-AA Balance Report, where as some posted entries for the Assets were not included.
Then I investigated. I found out that the Recalcualtion of Values is always based on the entries of table ANEP where the fiscal period 2011 did not include some postings done on th 30th of Dec because of fiscal year variance change.
In the Asset Values of the asset, it shows no discrepancy there although the info-dialogue box is appearing to recalculate the values of the asset. They already posted in Period 11 of this year after the changed fiscal year variance without recalculating and currently the planned values are different. The users are okay with the posted depreciation run since the asset balance per year is still correct. But if we recalculate the posted entries for asset acquisition on Dec 30th, the acq amount/asset balance will already be incorrect.
My Current solution is to enhance the function module FIRST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to show that if the values of Fiscal Year = 2011 and Period = 1, then it will get the date 26th of December 2010. I know that this Function Module is widely used for all modules but since we already changed Fiscal Variances maybe this will also correct some reports or functions that includes Fiscal Starting Dates.
Or are there any solution for this scenario? Is this solution advisable?

Have you done the impact analysis of changing the fiscal year variant directly? I would suggest you may need to raise an OSS note with SAP. The change must have affected different areas.

GL trial balance and All inventory value reports

Hi,
in oracle applications 11i the inventory super user claims that the results of the following two reports:
GL trial balance
and
All inventory value report
for the period MAY-09 DO NOT match.
How can i investigate this issue?

I haven't worked on PPAC but I assume its only a cost method to build the cost. Once costs are build GL entry happens in the same way.
You said that you first freeze the cost and then run subledger update report.
Once you freeze the cost, what cost do you see for product x?
Once you produce 20 TONS output; subledger update should generate entry as follows:
Cr WIP: cost*20
Dr INV: cost*20
Now you mentioned about title ALC (GL Allocation). I haven't seen that title.
Also at the period end we need to run revaluation of inventory for STND method, I am not sure if the same is required for PPAC. Try performing that in test instance to see accounting entries generated.
I am sorry if I confused you or didn't understand your question. I have used mostly worked with STND method and just trying to extend my experience with PPAC.

Funds Management and Fiscal Year Variant Change

Hello !
We are configuring a new fiscal year variant.
Currently, the system is on a CALENDAR YEAR FY variant and we are doing the following:
1. creating a shortened FY of Jan 2009 - Mar 2009
2. new fiscal year from April 2009 - Mar 2010
We are trying to change the FY variant for Funds Management via OF15 but receive the error FI674.
FI674:
You must not change the fiscal year variant in Cash Budget Management or Funds Management for FM area FM01 if actual data already exists for FM area FM01, or if one or more of the company codes assigned to FM area FM01 is active.
We have found oss note 719597 which details how to change the FY variant for Cash Budget Mgmt, but it does not apply to Funds management.
I could find no other supporting documentation.
Can anyone guide us as to how to deal with this issue?
Thank=you !

Hello Patti,
The point is that it is not possible to change fiscal year variant if actual values exists.
You are trying to do a change in January. You probably have some postings in 2009 already.
In the area of PSM-FM there is no note like 719597 of TR-CB.
Only if no actual values exist, this customizing change would be possible and reasonable.
If you are doing this setting in your customizing client, you can delete the postings (please DO NOT do it if you are in production) that exist in 2009 and try again.
SAP do not recommend to change a Fiscal Year Variant that has already been assigned to a company code and has already some postings. This may create database inconsistencies.
You can create another Fiscal Year Variant with the information that you want to be customize, and this variant you will be able to assign to a company code. Before you assign this new variant to a company
code please be sure that none of the information that you already posted in this company code will be affected, this information you may review it with your consultant on-site.
Also please review/apply note 173636, 202687, 10945, 193713, 123026, 210861 which may happen in your system.
The fiscal period is related to the posting date via the fiscal year variant. E.g.: I you do a posting on 5.5.2009 it will be posted e.g. in period 5 for fiscal year variant 'A'. This period is not only used in the document header table (BKPF,VBRK,MKPF ...) but also in several balance table (GLT0, KNC1 ...) not only in FI but also in SD, MM, CO .... If in the new fiscal year variant 'B' this posting date is related to another period e.g. 7 the relation between documents and Periods and balances will be destroyed.
The problem will be enhanced if the posting-date would be related to diffrent fiscal years.
In addition several reports in AP/AR and GL reread period-depend data by selecting the posting-date regardless of the period in the document because it's not normal practise to change the fiscal year variant of a company code.
Some of the involved issues are:
- FM actuals and commitments may need to be reconstructed if their period- (or even fiscal year-) assignments is changed.
- FM actuals/commitments can not be reconstructed if fiscal year change activities have already been performed (commitment carry forward, FMJ1, FMJ2).
- Budgeting data and assigned values may principally be concerned as well, especially if you are working with period values in budgeting.
The change of fiscal year variant has several implications and should be analyzed very carefully.
Please check note below for more information:

I hope it helps you and good luck

Fiscal Year Variant change

Hello,
We are being asked to switch our fiscal year variant from 445 to calendar month based beginning 1/1/2010. I am curious as to how to approach this change from the BW perspective.
I first did a quick look at the system to see how and where fiscal year variant is used.
What i found is that:
1. Fiscal year variant is used in our cubes as part of the transaction data
2. Almost all the queries have the FYV as part of the query definition. (won't be able to restrict to just 1 FYV since it will rule out many records since FYV is part of transaction data in our cubes)
3. Many queries compare current Fiscal periods to prior fiscal periods and and ranges too. This is enabled by using variable exits for 0FISCPER etc.
4. There are some Restricted Key Figures that have the FYV as part of thier definition.
5. Many DSO objects have the FYV as a key field.
What do you recommend from your own experience with regards to how to handle this change. I am curious what the impacts will be and what I should be prepared for. I am guessing that data in our DSO's will pile up since starting 1/1/2010 every record will have a new FYV (remember FYV is a key field), also I am curious how time based variable exits will work, since I think they depend to some extent on a single FYV.
Any advice or recommendations on how to approach this change is appreciated. Also what decisions have to be made if any...
Thanks!

Hello,
Okay here is one thing that i have run across that i do not understand. I am using Offsets in a query. Everything works fine with regards to these offsets, except for when i introduce 2 Fiscal Year Variants.
Once there are 2 fiscal year variants, the offsets are completely ignored.
Does anyone have an explanation why variable offsets would no longer work when there are 2 fiscal year variants on the same report?
When i launch this query in the web browser from Analyzer I get the following error message:
Diagnosis
Variable ZS_FPER2 contains a fiscal year period which is to be moved by 10 periods. Before this can occur, the fiscal year variant must first be specified clearly so that the number of periods in the fiscal year can be determined.
System Response
Procedure
If the fiscal year variant exists as a variable, enter a value for this variable. If the fiscal year variant is not specified in the query, you must include it in the query.
You can specify the fiscal year variant either globally or for the InfoProvider specifically.

Copy fiscal year vairiant changes from R3 to SCM

Hello Gurus;
We have a requirement to change our fiscal year start and end dates for the current and future year. We are using program "RSIMPCUST" to copy changes in fiscal calendar from R3 to SCM.
My question is : Do we need to de-activate the demand planning area and then copy the Fiscal calendar changes and re-initilise and copy the data from back up cube Or we just have to copy the FY changes from R3 to SCM and re-initialize the DP planning area.
Thanks in advance for guidance in advance.
Thanks and regards
Rajesh

Why de-activate planning area ? - Because, we are making structural changes against which data already resides in planning area.
Now, before making changes, you need to plan the back up of data, make changes in FYV, and then load data into planning area with new FYV.
Before, you go about, please study below points and plan accordingly -
1) Changes in both fiscal year variant (Months & weeks)
2) Storage bucket profile
Importantly, note that when loading data from back up cube, make sure it is loaded at month and week level (i.e. u2013 exclude Fiscal variant bucket), as the fiscal variant bucket mapping to month and week will have changed awhen you try to load the data in planning area (post FYV changes). Hence, post data loading in planning area, it should appear against new FY buckets when viewed by user.
(Example u2013 Previously M1-W1-F1 = 10, M1-W2-F1 = 20, Hence, F1 = 30. After changes you make, say, M1-W1 as F1 and M1-W2 as F2, user should see F1=10 and F2-20).

Fiscal Year End change

Our current Fiscal Year variant is April March. However we have now been bought by a different company and the fiscal year end needs to change to Jan-Dec. Therefore this year will be a shortened year.
I have a couple of questions:
I can see in SPRO that the fiscal year can be changed (transaction OB29) to accommodate a shortened year. Currently our year is set up under K4 which is year dependant not calendar dependant. How do I modify this? Do I move the tick from one to another (ie to calendar year), or do I need to copy the K4 and use it as a new one. If I do this what else do I need to do, I know if I changed it I would need to allocate it to the company code.
2. When do the changes need to be in Production, is it before year end, last day after everyone has gone home, on day 1, or once the accounts have been finalised? I assume I could make the changes in Dev/QA before then and fully test?
3. I understand that I need to do something on Asset/Depreciation. Again please advise on the timing of this.

I wonder if you can answer something further. Our financial year used to be Jan-Dec, which meant the fiscal year number (i.e. 2002) would be the same as the calendar year date. Then we had a shortened fiscal year so we could move to April-March. This meant for example that this year (April 07 to March 08), our fiscal year is 2008. We have just had a change of ownership and yes you guessed it, the financial year needs to move again, so we are having another shortened year ending in December. This means that our next financial year which be 2009, which covers January 08-December 08.
My question is, how do I let people see this when running reports etc. In IMG you can specify text for the period, however when looking at reports or data in any part of the system, this does not seem to appear anyway.
How has anyone else got round this?

Fiscal year calendar change

Hi Experts,
Our client wants to change the period end dates and keep the variant as it is in this month (Fisacal year Jan to Dec). Some postings were done in Jan and Feb.
Is the right time to change the periods now ?
Is there any adverse effects with this change ?
What is the right time to change ?
If client is very particular about change, what are the SAP notes to be followed ?
Regards
Madan

Hi,
let me know how your fiscal year defined?
If it is Apr to Mar, posting happing during Jan & Feb should have been done in posting period 10,11
If you are going to change your posting period to calender year i.e. Jan to Dec, , then posting in Jan & feb will be period 1 & 2
Thanks,Surya

Variance between GL inventory account balance and OPM inventory value

Hi everyone,
I am using OPM actual costing method (PPAC), I have set profile option GMF: Book Allocations using current period basis to YES.
Assume that we have a product x with openning balance Quantity = 20 TONs and Vale = 100$ (Unit cost = 5$).
Assume that the production quantity in that period was 50 Tons and GL expense was 200 $ (material cost = 0), OPM will generate the following journal as GL Allocation subevent:
Cr. ALC 200
Dr. INV 200
Assume that the usage quantity in that period was 30 TONs at 7$ as average unit cost.
Cr. INV 210
Dr. WIP 210
Which means the closing balance in GL will be 100$ + 200$ - 210$ = 90$.
But in OPM the inventroy value will be 40 TONs(Closing invntory QTY) * 7$(Average unit cost) = 280$.
I have faced this problem in all products, Can anybody explain to me how can I resolve this varainces.
Thanks

I haven't worked on PPAC but I assume its only a cost method to build the cost. Once costs are build GL entry happens in the same way.
You said that you first freeze the cost and then run subledger update report.
Once you freeze the cost, what cost do you see for product x?
Once you produce 20 TONS output; subledger update should generate entry as follows:
Cr WIP: cost*20
Dr INV: cost*20
Now you mentioned about title ALC (GL Allocation). I haven't seen that title.
Also at the period end we need to run revaluation of inventory for STND method, I am not sure if the same is required for PPAC. Try performing that in test instance to see accounting entries generated.
I am sorry if I confused you or didn't understand your question. I have used mostly worked with STND method and just trying to extend my experience with PPAC.

Once after completing the Year end operations of 2006, and when in the new
Fiscal Year (2007), at any point of time, can we carry-out the Fiscal Year
Variant Changes..."
Pls find point wise query.
1) Conversion can be done at any time during the year but before 31.12.07.
2) say we have done the conversion in June 07 , here the depreciation is already calculated for april and may.07. so when we run the june 07 the depreciation will be calculated on prorata basis till june 07.
3) whenever we wish to take the trial balance , we will get the ytd TB from april 07 . meaning if we take the trial balance in november 06 , we will get YTD TB from april 2007 till november 2007.
4) as at 31.3.07 we will close the year end as usual, start the new fiscal year also as usual, meaning without changing the fiscal year to shortened fiscal year

Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 200

Hi Guru,
I m in the process of upgradation from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
In Asset Accounting in 4.6C there is a facility of batch input thereby the user can replace the block cost centre by new one. As this facility is not available in ECC 6.0 so I have figured out all asset master in which the block centre are entered. And one by one replace the old cost centre by new one in asset master. When I ran the dep. "AFAB" there were no error. But for few assets the dep. shows positive value and cumulative dep. as zero. When I display the master of these assets and go into asset value of that asset then it give the message
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2008
Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 01 since the last time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that were saved in the database in fiscal year 2008 are therefore different from the newly calculated values by an amount of 102385.74-.
Procedure
Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values function in the Asset Accounting menu."
Guru, New value is absolutely wrong as it reversed all the dep. charged upto previous period.
please tell me what I can do & how i colud check whether any body has changed the dep. term or not.
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi,
start transaction AFAR for the company code as real run. That will recalculate all asset values and should solve the problem.
Alternative would be to go to AS02 and choose "edit -> recalculate values" from the system menu.

Markus

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.

Turkey: year end close RFSUMB00 / fiscal year variant

Hello guys,
I am wondering if anyone of you have had this requirement before.
Running RFSUMB00 on a Turkish company code will blow away the balances from all G/L accounts so that each individual account has a balance of 0.
Questions:
1. How do you manage revenue accounts (cost element categories 11 and 12). A pure cost centre is not enough as CO account assignment. You can switch off error message KI 166 (so that no COPA documents are then created), but is this really wanted?
2. If each individual account has a balance of 0 at year end, how to create a B/S and P/L for that year? Especially, for previous years? The only thing that comes to my mind is using special periods (13 to 16), but.... -->
3. ...in our system, the FI fiscal year variant is not K4, but a custom variant. The fiscal year (of the group) does not end on 31st December. I have a small FI-SL application running in the background (with K4 assigned there), and I could change the FI-SL period to 13 during the document transfer easily, but I ask myself why I do not post all of these funny closing documents directly in FI-SL then? This would save me from the usage of dummy assets/customers/vendors and the continous changes made to the "automatic postings only" flag (SKB1-XINTB).
Turkey experts, any hints welcome. What are your best practices?
Thank you,
Csaba

Yes frank,
GL closing should be carried only after all the sub ledgers are closed
for asset closing
you should open the new fiscal year first (AJRW) and then close the existing fiscal year. (AJAB)
otherwise FI-AA and Fi-GL may not reconcile (use tcode ABST2 to check this)
