How to make Field "Period/Fiscal Year" dynamic in the program variant

HI All,
We have program called "RCRM_FM_ACL_ACCRUAL_RUN" which is used to calcukate accruals in CRM. This program has got a field "Period/Fiscal Year".
We want this program to run every day at specific time. So we have created a variant in order to schedule a job with program so that it runs every day and calculates the accrual.
when we create variant we need to maintain some values in the variant like fund plan id in fund plan id field and period/year in "Period/Fiscal Year". Normally for date field we have an option to make a field dynamic by selecting value "D" (Dynamic) in selection variable, so it takes date every time as current date automatically and we do not have to change it every day.
But in program *"RCRM_FM_ACL_ACCRUAL_RUN",* I could not find the option "D" for the field "Period/Fiscal Year". Because of this we have to change the "Period/Fiscal Year" manually every time when ever period/year gets changed. we want this to be done automatically.
Can any onet tell me why we are not able to find the optin "D" (Dynamic) in the program "RCRM_FM_ACL_ACCRUAL_RUN". Do we need to do any settings for that.
or
Is there any other way to full fill my requirement i.e period/year get updated automatically with current period/year every time when period/year gets changed.
Thanks in advance,
JM.

Hi,
Using function-modules "RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS" and RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT and table tvarvc, you can make your variant dynamic. You just need to write a small piece of code using these FMs.

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 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.

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.

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.

Use of Different Fiscal Year Variant-Statistical Depreciation Area Postings

An existing Company Code in SAP is going to have Fixed Assets implemented. This Company Code is setup just like the others in our SAP instance: Same Chart of Accounts, Same Fiscal Year Variant, Fixed Asset procedures, etc. For purposes of this question our company's Fiscal Year is from August 1st to July 31st. In addition, this Company Code will post Fixed Assets just like the other SAP enabled Company Codes into Book Depreciation Area 01. The company I work with is on ECC 6 but we use the Classic Ledger for Financials, and the Special Ledger is posted to but not really utilized.
For the Country Specific/Tax Reporting purposes within Fixed Asset Accounting we have created a Statistical Depreciation Area 03 (I will call it Tax) with its own Life and Depreciation Key assignments with a setting of 0 in OADB-No Posting in GL for this Fixed Asset go-live, so I think we are set there. The tricky part comes in the reporting. The country in question requires information to be generated on a Calendar Year basis, which is obviously different than the Fiscal Year outlined above. To my knowledge we would have to assign Tax Depreciation Area 03 to the Calendar Fiscal Year Variant: Financial Accounting>>Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>Fiscal Year>>Fiscal Year Variants>>Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level.
The other piece of this is to get the Fixed Asset Reporting for Tax Depreciation Area 03 to work on a Calendar Year basis for the Company Code in question. When I did some research I stumbled upon the link below. In summary it says that you have to manipulate the standard Fixed Assets reports in Excel for Asset Acquisitions and Depreciation, and setup a new Retirement routine/transaction for posting into the Special Depreciation Area.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/05/bc0bf3d8f811d1953e0000e82debf7/content.htm
My questions are:
1) Besides assigning a different Fiscal Year Variant for Tax Depreciation Area 03, is there anything else I need to worry about on the setup end?
2) Is the article I posted accurate when it comes to how the reporting works and the need for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine? If so, what are the configuration steps for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?
3) Is there anything else that I need to consider for enabling Fixed Assets at an existing Company Code with different Reporting requirements for Book/Tax purposes?
Thanks in advance for all responses. I am willing to answer any other questions on this subject if needed.
Roman

Hello Rio. In our scenario, we still had to load assets in the legal entity with this issue. When we loaded the fixed asset data into SAP we did with data accurate as of December 31, 2011; which for book purposes is 5 months into our company's fiscal year, and for tax purposes is the end of the 2011 calendar year. The calendarized reporting for the tax depreciation will need to be pieced together manually using the SAP recommended methodology of combining report values, which I have pasted below.
Since this is the only SAP-enabled entity that has this scenario right now we are in wait and see mode to see if this sufficient. In the end the SAP path for Dual Calendar was too much of a risk.
I hope this helps.

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

& for other materials it is maintain as
2. Period indicator u201CPu201D & Fiscal Year Variant as V3
What is the meaning of maintaining those different values ?
as per my understanding I only know that as per those indicator consumption data is store in table MVER.
Is there any other table / data gets affected due to this indicator.
Plz help.

Diffrent Fiscal year Variant ?

Hello Friends
For the different company codes using the same controlling area must have same fiscal year variant.
But in my scenario 1 company code having period from jan to dec and another having period from April to march
Pls suggest me how we can do that?If not is there any otherway of solving this issue?
I need your suggestions
Thanks
Anup

Hi,
the best documentation is the <a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/da/6ada3889432f48e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">online documentation at help.sap.com</a>
From your point of view, the most important things are:
1. Define a table group in transaction GCIN. Include all fields in object table 1 that you want to report on (with the different fiscal year variant). If this is a legal requirement as I suppose, then you probably only need the GL account (RACCT) field. You may require other fields as well, depending on your requirements.
2. After the table group is defined, you have to check and install it. Installation means here the new table group is added to the Special Ledger environment, i.e., it is added to many customizing tables + lots of standard ABAP code is regenerated.
3. Now you can create a ledger for your new summary table (this is one of the 4 or 5 tables in your new table group). in transaction GCL1. You should assign the company code where the alternate fiscal year variant must be used to the new ledger. Obviously, you should change the fiscal year variant in the assignment screen to the alternate one (the default would be tha FYV that you have assigned to your company code in OBY6 , this is the controlling area's FYV as well).
4. Then you have to asign "activities", or "business transactions" to the ledger/company code combination. Use the button "Activities like GL" here to make sure all relevant items are transferred to your ledger. That would be about 30 activities. Each of them require a "field movement rule" assigned, but the same rule can be used for all, so you have to create it only once. The best way to do it directly from here (you are still in GCL1), by clicking F4 and when the message comes, no entries found, you can start creating it. The field movement rule is nothing else than the rules how fields of the original (FI, MM, SD) documents are transferred to the fields in your FI-SL table. You can check out the proposal button here. RACCT should be populed from HKONT, the rest is I think obvious.
Back to GCL1, you have to set the posting indicator for each activity (business transaction) to 3. This makes sure online data transfer and subsequent data transfer both are possible.
5. Save your work.
6. Then you can start transaction GCU1 and take over all documents available in FI to your special ledger (if you have some postings already) . Or you can post a new document and check if it was transferred (it should). Example: in FI (fiscal year variant April to March) you post a document with posting date 01.April 2007. This is period 1 in FI then. The same document is transferred for period 4 in the SPL.
7. You can use the Report Painter / Report Writer tools to report your data. ALso you can consider report RFBILA10, which is almost the same as well-known RFBILA00, only that it can display data from a special purpose ledger.
Hope that helps, points welcome

BI Reporting: LO & FI environment differences? Role of Fiscal Year Variant

Hi,
I will soon be on a project as a Reporting BI Consultant in the Finance environment. A first, but I have worked as a SAP BI Reporting person in SD environment in the past.
1. What should I expect to be different reporting for FI compared to LO?
2. In particular, I have some questions about fiscal year variant after reviewing the many documents on this site.
Let's say k4 is the fiscal year variant and my understanding is that it can be a calenda dependant fiscal year variant, meaning that postings on R3/ECC are stored by months from Jan to Dec[ Is this a true statement about the storage of data? ]
i. Now, if this is the case,about data storage, then how is k4 used in reports?
ii. If k4 is stored in months then what if the data is needed per weeks, or per days on reports?
iii. On the same report can there also be another fiscal year variant k5? Any real life examples to clarify it?
3. What are the challenges I should expect in reporting for finance i.e. as an SAP BI Reporting Consultant?
Thanks

A. Aging like how many days Account Receivable been outstanding.. report like 0 - 30Days, 31 - 60Days and 61 - 90Days and so on.
B. Everything like fisc* depends on variant and everyting 0cal* depends on normal calendar. A record can't have more than one fiscal variant. Like I mentioned to you, a company code may use one of the variants they are allowed to use and everything is based on that. I am not sure I answered your querstion.
C. Let's assume 05/30/2011 is the calendar day and K1 variant is Jan - Dec, so the 0fiscper = 005/2011 0fiscyear = 2011 and 0fiscper3 = 05 and if the variant is K2 which is July - June then 0fiscper = 011/2011 and 0fiscyear = 2011 and 0fiscper3 = 11. in your report you have to give users variant selection as mandatory variable to get appropriate result.
2i. like I mentioned above, based on the variant selection, the report displays the correct value.
2ii. Just like any other data aggregation, if you data is stored by period and they want to drilldown by week, then you need to store your data at detail level. That is why aggregation is very important.
2iii. Like is is explained above, a company can use only one variant, if you want to get data for Z1 countries, then in the variable selection they pass K1 and likewise for K2. The challenge here is if you want to display both K1 and K2, this is real challeng for global reporting. In this case you have to convert the K2 to K1 in transformation so that you can use one variant for both countries. That way both K1 and K2 coutries for the same fiscal variant will be displayed.
thanks.

Fiscal year variant not maintain issue

Hi Gurus,
I am loading data from DSO to Cube. But I amgetting an issue "Fiscal year variant V9 is not maintained for calendar year 0001". Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Liza

This looks like a data quality error.
The years maintained in your source system probably does not have a year 0001. If that data record is corrected and the correct year entered in the data record, this error should go away.
You may have mapped a date in the DSO to fiscal period in the InfoCube. That date may be incorrect for year 0001 which does not make sense.
You can identify this record in the DTP monitor by clicking on the magnifying glass icon which will show you all the records in that data package which has the error record.
And then click on the field header for status and click on sort ascending icon. It will quickly show you which record is failing by bringing the failed status record to the top of your list.
Once you have identified the record that has this bad data, you can ask the functional team who owns that data and ask them to fix it.
Or you can fix this record in your PSA. Or you can exclude that record in your DTP filter. There could be multiple records with the data quality error in which case you should filter out those records to be able to load data to the cube successfully.
These records may also be in your error stack. You can click on the error stack icon at the top of the window in your DTP monitor view. This will show you only the error records.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

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.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Message no. AC531 says:
The first day of the fiscal year for variant K4 in company code in Asset
Accounting differs from the first day of the fiscal year for variant NL
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.
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
finish dates. If you try to assign a fiscal year variant to an area,
whereby the fiscal year variant infringes this restriction, the system
issues error message AC 531.
