In DTP Detailed fiscal year variant not processed

Question

Hi All,
I installed and activated CUBE 0IC_C03,
now while executing the DTP  2LIS_03_UM / LOGSYSDEV -> 0IC_C03 it throws Error 'Detailed fiscal year variant not processed'
then in sdn i searched they told that i have to maintain variant in SPRO TC or OB29
IN SPRO ---> SAP Reference IMG ---> SAP NetWeaver ---> Business Intelligence ---> Setting's for BI Content ---> Trade Industries ---> Retailing ---> Set Fiscal Year Variant.
i think we can change, so usually who will maintain those variants ? pls tell.
can i change?

Answer 1

The Best Practice for getting the Fiscal Year Variants identified is to extract and load from the source system and not maintain them directly in SAP BW.
To get the Fiscal Year Variants, go to RSA and then select Source System on the left navigation bar. From there, go to the SAP source environment and right-click on that. Select Transfer Global Settings. In the selection screen, select the Fiscal Year Variant checkbox, select the Update radio button and then execute. This will update the Fiscal Year Variant tables in BW.
If, for any reason, the Fiscal Year Variant being loaded doesn't exist after that, you have a couple of options:
1) Have your business or business analyst for the SAP source system maintain it in the source system and then transfer the Global Settings as described above (this is the most preferred way to handle it).
2) Update the Fiscal Year Variant directly in BW via the means you outlined in your post.
