  • One Controlling Area for Two CoCds with different Fiscal Year variant

    Hi,
    I have a Company code with FYV "A1" with 12 Periods (Apr - Mar) - Fiscal year start at Apr-01 and ends Mar-31 of the next year.
    I have another company code with FYV "B1" with 12 Periods (Jan-Dec). - Fiscal year start at Jan-01 and ends Dec-31.
    Chart of Accounts for both the company code is same.
    Can I assign these two company codes to one Controlling Area?
    When I try to assign the company codes, I got the following warning message.
    Differing fiscal year variants: A1 - B1
    Message no. KT297
    Diagnosis
    Fiscal year variant A1, controlling area 1000, does not agree with fiscal year variant B1, company code 5001.
    The following entries must agree:
    - Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
    - 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.
    1. What is the meaning of "Same period limits"?
    2. Does it mean the fiscal year start and end date must be same?
    3. What is the impact of the warning message?
    Thanks
    Palani

    Having same fiscal year variant is one of the requirements for different company codes to be under one controlling area.
    The FYV for the company codes and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods. The number of posting periods must be the same.
    Impact of warning message: You cannot create one controlling area for both company codes (1:n assignment).
    If you like, you can create one controlling area for one compnay code with FYV A1 and another controlling area for another company code with FYV B1.
    PS: Please reward the points if you find the answer as useful and rewarding points is a way of saying thanks.

  • 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,
    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.

  • Multiple Fiscal Year Variant in the same client in SEM-BCS...

    I have already looked at some earlier threads relating to this but didn't get a convincing answer to what I would like to know.
    We have had a working SEM-BCS system with fiscal year variant K4. There was no need for defining leading fiscal year variant and none was defined. SAP, by default takes, K4 as the leading fiscal year variant.
    Now there is a requirement for going on a different fiscal year variant for which we have created another databasis (there were a few other reasons besides these) with the same InfoObjects that we used earlier but with different fixed parameters, one of which is fisc year variant V9. Soon, we started experiencing bizarre dumps in the configuration which ultimately convinced me to define a leading fiscal year variant. I was reluctant to do so because there is a lot of old data (which will become 'historical' from new data basis point of view) from the working system on K4 that would still need to be reported on even when we have new BCS solution in the new fiscal year variant V9. That is not going away. There is a need to keep the old data for reporting (hence the rationale for a different data basis among a few others).
    Since earlier Master Data was configured in the old fisc year variant K4, now I have defined the leading fiscal year variant as V9 so that MDF can appropriately identify the period dependency.
    I would like to know if any of you have had an unexpected behavior from the system going forward. Does the system dump out when you try to read the old data (from earlier K4).
    I have tried to explain the dilemma as clearly and succinctly as possible but if you need more clarifications, please do let me know.
    I would really appreciate your help in this.

    Is your requirement is that K4 to be changed to Z5.
    The best way you can do it is in the transformation. Instead of directmapping,
    Write a code like this in the trransformation to the cube
    If SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR eq 'k4'.
    SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR = 'Z5'.
    I dont think we can change th data in the query being displayed. we can change the keyfigure values in query by frmulas etc...
    but for a characteristic, i think we will be able to restrict bt not change the value.
    to obtain the requirement, w have to get the data change before query designer that is in the cube leve.
    Hope this helps,
    Sri...

  • Assigning Different Fiscal Year Variants between comapny codes

    Folks,
    We have 2 company codes 1000 and 1010 both are assigned to controlling area 2000. I want to know what are the impacts of assigning company 1000 and 1010 to different fiscal year variants. I get this warning message when i try to save.
    Please advice if this is advisable to do? and what are the impacts.
    Message no. KT297
    Diagnosis
    Fiscal year variant K4, controlling area 2000, does not agree with fiscal year variant V9, company code 1010.
    The following entries must agree:
    Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
    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.

    Dear Zaid Azam,
    you have assigned 1000 and 1010 to one controlling area 2000,
    To assign more than one company code to one controlling area the below are conditions
    1) The Operative fiscal year variants in the company codes must match the fiscal year variant in controlling area.
    2) The company codes must use the same chart of accounts.
    So  if you are assigning other fiscal year variant where the number of posting periods are different, hece system giving an error.
    Thanks and Regards

  • 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

    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

  • Can a weekly fiscal year variant have different number of posting periods?

    Hi Friends,
    Our demand planning team needs a weekly fiscal year variant (X) that will be assigned to all material master data.  X is year dependent and needs to be consistent with our fiscail year variant Y which is assigned to all company codes.
    I input "52" as number of posting periods for X, but the problem is: every 6 years, there is an additional week in this fiscal year. 
    This means, the number of posting period is also year dependent.  Although most of fiscal years have 52 posting periods, some will have 53 posting periods instead. 
    I cannot create another fiscal year variant Z just for these 53 posting periods, because the material master data is not year dependent, I can only assign either Y or Z.
    Have you ever encountered this situation?  If so, could you please share your solution?
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    You can always have 53 period year independent fiscal year variant as explained below.
    We have 365 days in normal year, and 366 days in leaf year(comes every 4 years).
    In leaf year you will get 8 days in period 9 and 1 day in period 53.
    In normal years all periods 7 days and 1 day in period 53
    Month       Day       Period
    1                    7             1
    1                   14            2
    1                   21            3
    2                   25            8
    3                   4              9
    12                 23           51
    12                 30           52
    12                 31           53
    You can have the same Fiscal year variant always.
    Hope this will workout for you

  • Wrong Period end date set in Fiscal year variant

    Hi all,
    Can anyone please advise any solutions for my case? Thank you very much in advance.
    In my system, a 5-4-4 fiscal year variant has been set. However, the period end date is incorrect.
    For example, period 1 end date should be 5th Apr but saved with 6th Apr,
    period 2 end date should be 3rd May but saved with 4th May.
    The Asset planned depreciation has been posted in 6th Apr and 4th May.
    I found I cannot revise the fiscal year variant. Please advise if I need to create a new Fiscal Year Variant If I need to adjust it? Thanks again.

  • Company codes with different fiscal year variants in a controlling area

    Hi all,
    When I try to assign a company code with different fiscal year variant than controlling area I get error. It is ok so far.
    However, after assigning company with same fsv to controlling area the system lets me to change company code's fsv in company code global settings and I can even save it.
    So I wonder how it would be possible ? Why do I get just a warning instead of an error and save ?
    Thanks and regards.
    M.Yusuf Dogan

    Hi Bulut,
    There are 12 normal and 3 special periods in the fsv of the company code which i'm trying to assign. However, controlling area's fsv has 12 normal and 4 special periods.  I get an error message "KT297".
    Actually, my point is that if the company code's fsv is same with co's I can assign but the system lets me change cc's fsv after assignment.

  • Asset Register with different Fiscal Year Variant

    Ministry Of Commerce requires Power Line Carrier Companies to maintain
    an additional fixed asset register. This register needs to have
    Fiscal Year - April to March
    Revaluation of Assets on 1 April every year based on indice provided
    Ministry.
    Depericiation Rates same as existing
    Staright line depreciation
    No depreciation / revaluation of new assets aqired during the year
    No depreciation on disposal of assets during the year
    This can work OK for Companies with same Fiscal Year Variant (April to
    March).
    What are the options for Companies with different Fiscal Year?
    Some of the companies do not have the new GL activated and hence cannot
    use the additional ledger and use for this purpose.
    Can you please advise.
    Regards,
    Suneel Bhonsule

    If the company codes are using fiscal year variant April - March, then it is possible. If the company codes are using differant fiscal year variant other than April - March and if you want to get the report with the Fiscal year April-March,, it will not work out..
    Even If new GL Activated for all company codes also its not possible.. i had a experience of this and finally came to know that parellel ledger or special ledger concept will not support for Diefferant fiscal year for Asset accounting alone which is differant from Company code fiscal year..
    Thanks

  • CK40N with V3 fiscal year variant

    Hello dear SAP experts,
    Please help.  We are on ECC 6.0 and the fiscal year variant is V3.  I have tried releasing the std cost estimates on several periods but its saying the "release is too early".   The MM period is already 04/2009 because I've already tested several periods but to no avail.  The FI period is open and there are no locked periods in OKP1.
    Thanks and regards,
    Thess

    Hi Thess,
    "Release is too early" means, the "Costing Date From" which you have not selected is not reached yet. It has nothing to do with Fiscyal Year Variant, MM/FI/CO period locks.
    Let us say, You are doing the Costing run on 15th of March and you have selected the "Costing Date From" as 15th of March only. In this case, you will be able to Save, Mark and Release the Cost Estimate immediately because the date on which you are running the Cost Estimate and the date from the released Std Cost to be effecive ("Costing Date From") are same.
    In the same example, your are running the Cost Estimate on 15th of March, where as the "Costing Date From" is given as 1st of April, then, you will be able to Run/Save/Mark the Standard Price on 15th of March itself and the Price will be appearing as "Future Std Price" in Material Master, but, you will be able to Release it only on 1st of April (then the Std Price will move from "Future Std Price" to "Current Price" in Material Master).
    I hope it is clear...Pls revert back for further explanation...

    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

    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
