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:
Note 672255 Shortened fiscal year / changing fiscal periods
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.

Use of different fiscal year variant in leading&non leading ledgers and Asset closing&Reporting

Experts,
Need one clarification on using different fiscal year variants for Leading(0L)&non Leading(NL) Ledgers and impact on Fixed Asset Accounting.If I use say V6(Jan2013-Dec2013) for Leading Ledger and April2013-March2014 for non leading Ledger,(local GAAP)-please clarify the following.
1.Does Asset Accounting gives all standard reports as expected in both(Leading&Locals) the Depreciation areas?Do we need to any settings specially for in the above scenario?(I am assuming point#4 given below may not help for this as system gives an error if both the fiscal year variants have different start&end dates)
2.How is Year end in Asset Accounting handled?If I close the year end in Asset Accounting for Company Code as per Leading Ledger i.e say by Dec 2013,can I still post the asset entries in non leading ledger?Because Financial year for Leading ledger will be 2014 and non leading will be still 2013(in Jan2014).
3.I am aware SAP has some restrictions way back in 2005-2007 (SAP note 844029) for different fiscal year variants in Leading&Non Leading Ledgers,Does SAP come out with any solution later?
4.What is the exact use of the settings at Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>>Fiscal year>>Fiscal year variants at company code level or Depreciation area level?My understanding here is,they are not meant for using different fiscal year variant with different start&end dates but they are meant for using different fiscal year variant with same START&END DATES and have different number of posting periods i.e 1 can have 12 and other can have 13.
Please can you give your comments?
regards

Hi Hinfi,
It seems standard SAP does not manage different fiscal year variants (at least with different start/end dates) in different depreciation areas.
However, they came up with an add-on solution called Multiple Calendar Tool and based on a mirroring solution that synchronizes asset transactions in a mirror company code.
It's all explained in following notes:
Note 1175751 - Project solution for alternative fiscal year variant
Note 1636025 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool 1.0_ SP Note
Note 1658489 - Installation of Asset acctg multi calendar 1.0 software
Note 1658714 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool_ Overview Note
Note 1691481 - Release strategy_ Asset acctg multi calendar tool
Note 1951069 - Different fiscal year variants in General Ledger Accounting (New) (NewGL) under the new Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL)
I don't know if it's commonly used and personnaly have no feedback on it. I was curious to check how to manage a depreciation area 01 posted in a leading ledger in US GAAP (FYV january to december) and another depreciation posted in a non leading ledger in Indian GAAP (FYV april to march).

What is the difference between Fiscal year variant, Fiscal year and Calyear

hi,,
What is the difference between
1. Fiscal Year Variant (0FISCVARNT)
2. Fiscal Year (0FISCYEAR)
3. Calendar Year (0CALYEAR)
In what scenarios they should be used. If we are getting 0FISCVARNT data from ODS. Can we change into other in cube at update rules level or some other level?
How can we get factory calendar????

Hi Gurus
I was going through this thread and came up some more questions in my mind.
1. Do we need to set Fiscal Year, Fiscal Varient settings once for all in BW ? ( The path is given in one of the thread above ) need to know if this is one time setting / rebuilding the tables. what will happen when we select and execute factory calender and Fiscal Varient and Rebuild tables in transfer global setting ? Is this one time we have to do for whole BW system?
2. when we go to SCAL t-code what we need to do and what it do in the system ? I know its for Factory calender but just want to know what it does. It it also for one time during BW build phase ?
3. How can we link Factory calender and Fiscal year? IS it thro Fiscal varient ?
Pl help me to clear this doubt,thanks in advance.

Change in Fiscal Year Variant Causes Cube to become inactive

In Maintain Fiscal Year variant, we attempted to change the Fiscal Periods to reflect the 2007 Fiscal Calendar. When we saved it, it caused the Update Rules for our Infocube to become inactive. I need to know how to reactivate them or what to do. The Error message is saying that there is no routine created for the object. How do I recreate the routine and reactive the Update Rules?
We are using BW 3.1

Hi David,
Whenever you change a MetaData Object, BW will automatically deactivate everything that relies on that object to prevent system instability. In this case, your Update Rules and InfoCube (and MultiProviders if you use them) were deactivated. In most cases, simply reactivating them will correct the problem.
Judging from your post, this isn't the case. What did you do to the InfoObject that required reactivation of the InfoObject? You may want to check inside the Update Rules to see if BW removed the connection that you had before. I've seen that happen as well.

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?
Edited by: Cecilio Cruz II on Dec 6, 2011 8:32 AM

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.

Change future periods for Fiscal year variant-OB29

Hi experts,
We are using 4-4-5 rule, Fiscal year variant is M1, Future Periods for FY variant M1 is not maintained correctly. Our year end is on 6/25/2011 but in our variant M1 it is defined as 7/2/2011 and periods following that are defined incorrectly.
Company - US (4-4-5 rule)
FY variant - M1
Period - P12/2011 and following periods are not defined correctly
1.     There are risks involved if you change the fiscal year in Live SAP system. What is the risks for changing future periods - 2 months from now.
2.     Posting are not carried out for the periods we are changing. We need to check plan data if any
3.     Impact on other modules, organization structure, master data, transaction data
4.     How intense the testing needs to be.
Any help will be appreciated and point will be assigned.
Thanks
Monica

Hello,
If you change the Fiscal year period in the live system the following problems may come as per my understanding.
For Costing Module Planning would have already been carried our at the start of the year,
similarly for CS, PP and PS modules if they are implemented in your company the planning data will be effected.
If there is any Budjet posted even you have to consider how to change the budget and reaccolation

APO-DP : Change in Fiscal Year Variant for the year 2008

As per earlier Fiscal Year variant configuration, the data has been forecasted in APO system till the end of Year 2008. But recently the fiscal year variant configuration modified in R/3 which has been impacting APO-DP storage buckets which are not matching with that of earlier fiscal year variant. So, there is a mismatch in the storage bucket profile where in the data already stored in Weekly, Monthly and Posting Period based on the earlier Fiscal year 2008 configuration.
Now the system is not allowing to do any Interactive Planning.
The business would like to use the latest fiscal calendar and also not ready to loose the forecasted data for the year 2008. So, we are not in a position to deactivate and reactivation of Planning Area and also we are not using back-up infocubes functionality.
Please update me if anybody experienced this type of situation or know the solution.

I think your suggestion should work but it takes more resource time and need more database size.
I am thinking to retain some important forecast keyfigures data in the following workaround method;
1) Now the Planning Area Initialized for 2yrs historical + 1Yr forecast horizon
2) Run first set of new macros to copy from year (say 2008) to year (say 2006)
3) Re-initialize the Planning Area (Jan'2006 to Dec'2007)
4) Re-build the New Fiscal Calendar from R/3
5) Re-initialize the Planning Area for history and forecast horizon (ex: from Jan'2006 to Jan'2009)
6) Run second set of new macros to copy back ( ex: from 2006 to Year 2008) and wipeout the duplicate records in 2006
7) The above macros can be utilized to run every year end when ever the new fiscal calendar introduced
Suggestions are welcome

Different Company Code with same fiscal year variant and controlling area

Hi
I have three company codes in three three different countries: 1000 (ABC India), 2000 (ABC Inc, US), 3000 (ABC Dubai)
But our consultants have assigned only one fiscal year variant V3 and one controlling area 1000 (with fiscal year variant v3)
So what problem one may face because of above settings and what is ideal setting for such scenario
Edited by: Meenu_ND on Oct 18, 2010 2:35 PM

I have one leading ledger and two non leading ledger (i.e Group ledger and IFRS ledger). But Fiscal year variant is not mentioned for both the non leading ledgers.
So i think it will take V3 only for non leading ledgers too.
And in your solution, since India is main company, fiscal year variant for leading ledger needs to be V3 only.
What if i keep non leading ledger as fiscal year from Jan to Dec. Then it will be:
Leading Ledger: April to March
Non leading ledger: Jan to Dec
In above case, do i need to create separate controlling area ?

Hi,
That's the message from Funds Mangement component. You have to check whether the derived fund centre is the right one and if yes, create it via FMSA transaction.
