How To Customise Fiscal Year Variant

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have attempted to create a new FI Posting Period where the first day of the period is on the 16th of the month while the
last day of the period is on the 15th of the next month.
For example, my first day of the 1st period is on 16th March and last day of the 1st period is on 15th of April.
For this, I have configured as follows:
Month : 4
Day : 15
Period : 1
Year Shift : 0
I configured the rest of the periods with similar attributes and for the12th period, I configured as follows:
Month : 3
Day : 15
Period : 12
Year Shift : -1
However upon saving the Customised Fiscal Year Variant, there is an error message that prompts the vairaint is incomplete
and that the last day of the posting period is not specified.
Kindly advise how can this be done, dear Gurus out there.
Thanks~!

How to Ignore Fiscal Year Variant in BEx Query displayed with FISCYEAR?

Hi All,
I am developing a report.
In which I have taken Fiscal Year in columns.
When I executed the report Fiscal Year is showing with Fiscal Year Variant, I mean it is displaying as K5/2009.
Please let me know the settings how to ignore Variant? I mean Fiscal Year should show 2009 only.
Regards,
HM.

Hi,
Fiscal year variant is compounded to Fiscal year. So in Bex query output it will be the format.
In case you need to remove the fiscal year variant you need to write customer Exit code.

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.

Fiscal Year Variants

Hi All
Please could someone briefly explain how I manage Fiscal Year Variants in a BI system?
I ran trans OB29 to see what has been set-up in the ECC. I ran the option 'Transfer Global Settings' to transfer the Fiscal Year Variants to the BI system, and verified that they are present.
I have installed the DSO 0FI_GL_10 and the necessary data transfer objects. In the PSA the data all has Fiscal Year Variant 'K4', but when I transfer the data to the DSO and activate I get an error: "No Fiscal Year Variant specified". If I look in the DSO table /BI0/AFIGL_O1040 I can see there there is no entry in field FISCVARNT.
I tried manually updating the FISCVARNT field (just to test) and activate the DSO and I see an error updating the SIDs on the Fiscal Year field as it seems to append the Fiscal Year Variant to the Fiscal Year field (e.g. K41994123). Where is it doing that?
Any help greatly appreciated?
Thanks
Al.

Thanks Simon
Now I have looked - I can see the compounding in the 0FISCPER InfoObject. (Points Awarded.)
When I look into the contents of 0FISCPER InfoObject, the PERIV field is the Fiscal Year Variant and does not include any 'K4' entries (the value being passed from ECC). How do I update this table? My upderstanding is that I cannot set transformations to update it, is that right?
Thanks

How to capture the data if i am using two Fiscal year variant

Hi
My client is required need two type financial statement one is as per company act and calender year. Other one is company act and fiscal year.
regarding we have maintain two fiscal year variant one is assigned to company code as per calender yr other one is assigned to Spl.Pr G/L. but how to capture the financial data from company code in case we are using two fiscal yr variant.
Rekha

Hi
U cannot maintain two two fiscal year varaint for a company code in GL. As said by u maintain one fiscal year varaint for GL and the other one for FI SL. When u post FI document in GL automatically the same will flow into FI SL for the corressponding period.
For example ur Fiscal year varant is April to March in GL
and Callendar year in FI SL and u do a posting in April 1 (period 1) in GL then it post it to 4th period in FI SL automatically since April is the 4th period in FI SL since it uses K4 as the fiscal year variant.

How to add FISCAL YEAR, Period and Day to cube.

hi,
I am using SD EXTRACTORS (2LIS_11_VAITM, 2LIS_11_VAKON, 2LIS_12_VCITM and 2LIS_13_VDITM) and directly updating each corresponding ODS and cube.
All the extractors only have FISCAL VARIANT has the time characteristic. So, all my ODS contains only one time char - fiscal variant and other dates (liek document created date etc. (not a time char)).
Now, I want to use fiscal period, fiscal year and fiscal day in my cube. I have added these time char in my cube.
My question:
1. how to get FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL PERIOD and FISCAL DAY get updated. Do I need to map to document created date in update rules or Do I need to use some functional module.
Pls note I am bringing only FISCAL VARIANT from R/3 into ODS and then to CUBE.
PLS REPLY.

thanks sundar..i got your point..but I have one question
All the cubes (sales, sales condition and billing) have the sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) and item number (POSNR-VBUK). But info objects used for these fields in sales cube and sales condition cube are same but for billing it is not same.
Can I combine all cubes (sales order, sales condition, billing) in muliti provider.

           Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0S_ORD_ITEM)
Date: Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
Key field: Netprice (VBAP-NETWR) -- 0NET_VALUE
3. Delivery Cube (from VCITM)
         Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN)   -- (0DELIV_NUMB)
         Item   (VBUK-POSNR)                         -- (0DELIV_ITEM)

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)

Fiscal year variants in co.code have inconsistent start date.Msg no AC531

Hi Experts
We went with 24 periods after Go live. I am trying to assign the TAX basis fiscal year variant(TX) at Depreciation area level. But it's not letting to add with the following error message.
Fiscal year variants in co.code have inconsistent start date
Message no. AC531
Diagnosis
The first day of the fiscal year for variant TX (24periods) in company code in Asset Accounting differs from the first day of the fiscal year for variant D1(12 periods) in General Ledger Accounting.
However, both variants must have the same start and end date! Only the periods within the fiscal year can be different in the two variants.
Please guide me how to fix this error message.

Hi,

However, both variants must have the same start and end date! Only the

The error is described in note 844029 :-
In the NewGL in Asset Accounting, it is still not possible for
depreciation areas to have fiscal year variants with different start and

whereby the fiscal year variant infringes this restriction, the system

Error saying 'Posting period 000 is not defined for fiscal year variant K4'

Hi All,
   When I try to add a new entry in the transaction OB52, I get an error message saying 'Posting period 000 is not defined for fiscal year variant K4'. The entry that I add is,

Please let me know what customising needs to be done to solve this issue.
Thanks a ton.

Hi,
Hava you checked in OB52 screen, by default 0001 posting period variant will be there for +, A, D, K, S account types.
If it is already existed in your OB52 screen, you won't create one more record with the same name. You have to edit the existing 0001 posting period with new values.
Thanks

Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2012 when loadin

Dear Experts,
We are working on BI7.0 extracting data from ECC 6.0.
I am trying to load data from 0HR_PY_PP_1 which is a Self DataSource in our BW System (extracts data from 0EMPLOYEE and 0PERSON) to load into ZPA_C50 which is a copy of BCT InfoCube 0PAPA_C02 (Headcount).
The data has come through into the PSA very well.
However, DTP is throwing an error while loading 32242 records of data from PSA into ZPA_C50 InfoCube. The error details as below:
Error while updating to target ZPA_C50 (type INFOCUBE)
Fiscal year variant Z1 is not maintained for calendar year 2012 FGV 2

We are actually doing a Re-implementation of BW 3.0b in BI 7.0 Ehp1. We have imported Maintenance of Fiscal Year Variant from the BW 3.0b Production System. So this shouldn't be a problem I guess since I have also checked the setting in SPRO in BI 7.0 Development (New) System and they are looking good.
Also, when I do a Filter on 0CALDAY in DTP from 01.01.1900 to 31.12.2010, the loads are working fine. I want the load to run without any Filters on 0CALDAY.
Has anyone been in similar situation. How did you resolve this issue? Your time is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Chandu

Dear Experts
Thanks for your time.
We have resolved this issue ourselves. We have maintained 'Shortened Fiscal Years' for 'Z1' and it is working fine now. Steps are as below:
In BI Dev System -> SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Customizing Implementation Guide -> SAP NetWeaver -> Business Intelligence -> General BI Settings -> Maintain fiscal year variant -> Select 'Z1' Fiscal Year Variant and then DoubleClick on 'Shortened Fiscal Years' to set the Fisc Year Variant -> Save.
The dataload should work fine now.

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 Ive 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.

Fiscal Year Variant V3

Hi Experts,
I am using V3 Variant, ( I don't no how to maintain it ?)
In OB52 I have Maintatined Periods from 1,2008 to 12,2010 and 13,2008 to 16,2010
In MMRV, Current Period is 04,2008.
I have checked Allow posting to previous period.
Now, while doing MIGO
I got the error
Postings only possible in 03/2008 and 04/2008 only..
I don't know the settings to maintain in V3 in OB29 Transaction.
If any one can explain me this, it would be a great help to me.
and if possible send a screen shot that how to maintain periods in V3 Fiscal Year,...
Full Points Assured,
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
Fiscal Year variant will define how many periods will be there in your fiscal year and their start and end date. (OB29)
Posting period variant will help you to control in which periods user will be able to post a fianancial document. (OBBO & OB52)
An enterprises main aim to generate profits from its operations,differnt countries have different accounting periods for reporting profit/loss and pay the taxes. This is a legal obligation to maintain books of accounts of the organization as per country specific accounting year. Therefore every organazation requires a fiscal year variant.
Posting period : this to control/minimise the clerical mistakes of backdate and future date postings.

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
hinfi

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).
