How to change the fiscal year in the controlling area?

I want to change the fiscal year mentioned in the controlling area. The problem is that the controlling area is assigned to a company code and number ranges have been defined and cost center hierarchy has been created.
Please suggest me what to do?
Thanks in advance

Hi
If its a Productive system - You cant change the FY.. You need to take SAP SLO Service.. Its a chargeble one
If its a Test system and data is posted, then you need to delete the data 1st of all... I advise create a new contr area / comp code
"Activate components & Control Indicators" - Just COPY 2011 and make it 1900 or any year of your choice

Fiscal Year Variant in Controlling Area

Hi All,
Scenario 1:
I have a Company code with FYV "A" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Apr - Mar), and I have another company code with FYV "B" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Apr-Mar).
Can I assign these two company codes on Controlling Area?
Scenario 2:
I have a Company code with FYV "A" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Apr - Mar), and I have another company code with FYV "B" with 12 Normal Periods and 4 Special Periods(Jan-Dec).
Can I assign these two company codes on Controlling Area?
Thanks for your help
Best Regards
Swamy

Dear Ranga,
I thought i will give more information.
The fiscal year variants for the company code and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods, but must have the same number of posting periods. The period limits for the fiscal year variants must also match up. In FI, special periods are used for adjustment postings at year-end closing, or for revaluation. If FI has been set up with four special periods, but CO with only one, then the postings for the second, third, and fourth special periods in FI are posted to the first special period in CO. If there is no special period in CO, the FI postings in the special period are posted to the last posting period in CO.

The above is giving non numeic character. How can i write the sqlThe first argument to ADD_MONTHS is supposed to be a DATE, not a string.
Use a DATE instead of the string 'AUG-2011'. For example:
EXTRACT (YEAR FROM ADD_MONTHS ( TO_DATE ( 'AUG-2011'
                                        , 'MON-YYYY'

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 ?

Hello ABAP Experts,
how to write a code for read a csv file and read the fiscal year in the 4th position.
any suggestions or code highly appreciated.
Thanks,
BWer

Hi Bwer,
Declare table itab with the required fields...
Use GUI UPLOAD to get the contents of the file (say abc.csv) in case if the file is on the presentation server...
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
 filename = 'c:\abc.csv'
 FILETYPE = 'ASC'
 WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
tables
 data_tab = itab
EXCEPTIONS
 FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 1
 NO_BATCH = 2
 OTHERS = 22
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Use OPEN DATASET in case if the file is on the application server..
After that USE SPLIT command at comma to get the contents of the 4th field...

Error in opening Fiscal Year by Dep. Area

Hi All,
We have following Depreciation Areas:
01 - Book Depreciation and 10,11,12 & 13 for Tax Depreciation.
I am trying to open Fiscal Year 2014 for Tax Depreciation Area only by using T-code OAAR, system is giving me below error message:
You also have to change the close of depreciation area 01
Message no. AC433
Diagnosis
Depreciation area 10, for which you want to reset the year-end closing, is linked to depreciation area 01.
This could be because the areas are linked due to:
Identical acquisition and production costs (value takeover)
A derived depreciation area
Procedure
Correct your entries. You can only modify the area for which you received the message.
I checked setting of t-code OABC:Dep. Area 10 is having ValAd as 01, this is the reason system is not allowing to Open Fiscal Year 2014.
Please throw some insight how I can open fiscal Year 2014 for Tax Areas only.
Thanks & Regards,
Vivek

Hi George,
Thanks for helping me out. There was no identical check on OABC for area 10.
Upon researching more I found that there are other depreciation area which is only for reporting, are deriving values from Dep Area 10 and 01.
Therefore system was throwing error to open Fiscal Year for 01 as well. I have removed the derivation from dep area used for reporting only and try to open Fiscal Year for Tax Area, now system allow me to open it by Area.
This issue is resolved. Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Vivek

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

the code for SAP Exits must be in Function-Pools SAPLRS_BCT* (I'm not quite sure). But this code
seems to work different than customer Exits.
See How-To-Guide

New Blog: Detailed Information on the Fiscal Year Change (RAJAWE00)

I've published a new blog that includes detailed steps and other technical information on the Fiscal Year Change program in fixed assets.
[Detailed Information on Changing the Fiscal Year in FI-AA|Detailed Information on Changing the Fiscal Year in FI-AA]
A full list of FI-AA related blogs has been kept in the [Wiki|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/erpfi/asset+accounting].

Dear Mark,
Where do you define this previous fiscal year??
No, we are not expected to run depreciation in 2007. The first depreciation run will happen in Jan-08
Additional information, when I am trying to close period via AJAB, the error says "The fiscal year 2007 is already closed for company code 1417. It is not necessary to perform a year-end closing". Surprisingly, it still showing 2007 as a current year.
Please help

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

Defining the Fiscal Year Variant

Would someone explain the procedure for setting up the Fiscal year variant in the current version please.
The version I had used was 3.1h and the screens are now different. In 3.1h one simply copied the fiscal year variant (T.code OB29) using the copy command and one got a copy fiscal year dialog box in which one entered the data into the four fields. But none of this now happens.
In both the current version and the old version (3.1h) I select in column FV "V3" ( the Fiscal year variant I want ) copy V3 and now I want to create a new Fiscal Variant with my own company two letter designation (e.g. YZ) taking the V3 copy as the model to use. But I can't because nothing then happens.
In v3.1h a small sub window appeared when doing the copy ("copy icon") and in the first line was the copied designation code V3 with the description in the 2nd line and in the 3rd line one enterd one's own two letter company designation (e.g. YZ) plus the discription on line 4, click the tick and it was done.
How do I do that part now? Because this sub screen does not now appear when trying to do a copy and create a copy designation.

Hi Ton,
In transaction code OB29 for the later versions of SAP (i.e. 4+), you don't get a pop-up window. The system just copy the selected Fiscal Year Variant. That is the only one you would see once you have highlighted the year variant you want to copy from and you hit the "Copy" icon. All the fields you need to change would still be open. In the FV column, just change it from V3 to your new one YZ. Do the same for the description and the rest of the field you need to change and hit "Enter" on your keyboard. A diaglog box "Specify object to be copied" would appear. You can then "Copy All" or "only Copy Entry" depending on your need. If you select "Copy All", you would get a dialog box informing you of the number of dependent entries copied. You can then save your entries and carry out the rest of the set-up for "Periods", "Period Texts" and "Shortened Fiscal Years" as required by you.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob
