Prerequisites and requirements for a change of Fiscal Year in BW?

Hello:
We are planning for a change in Fiscal year. Our current Fiscal year starts from Apr 2010 - Mar 2011. But the change will be or should be done in Feb 2011 which means the new Fiscal year will start in Feb 2011.
What are the implications for this change? What prerequisites and other requirements should be taken into account.
It would be a great help if you could give me a procedure for achieving the above.
Thanks in Advance.

Once you transfer global settings from source system, I hope BI should work fine.
Chk the point 1 about global settings and related tables listed in below link.

    1. First you need to create a variant lets say z1 which must be year dependent from october to march.
    2. Due to this the entries posted during these periods the fiscal year will be a head.
    For example :
    If you want to change in this calendar year from the month of october.
    earlier it was 1st october 2008 to 30th september 2009 and the fiscal year is 2009.
    Now the fiscal year will become 2010 for the periods october 2009 to march 2010.
    In transaction ob29 create a new variant lets suppose z1 as year dependent and give calendar year as 2009 and maintain periods as
    Month     Day     Period     Year shift
    1     31     4     0
    2     28     5     0
    3     31     6     0
    4     30     1     0
    5     31     2     0
    6     30     3     0
    7     31     4     0
    8     31     5     0
    9     30     6     0
    10     31     1     1
    11     30     2     1
    12     31     3     1
    Click on Shortened Fiscal Years and give the calendar year 2009 and give 6 as no.of posting periods.
    Note : Try to maintain periods for the previous year also 2008 as you might be facing problems in asset accounting.

  • 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

  • Financial Accounting and requirements for Spain

    What kind of legal requirements are existing for start using SAP FI in Spain? Can we make the take over from the actual system to SAP during the year? Are there any special regulations for the number assignment?
    Please give me some advice about the legal requirments we need to take care for.
    Thank you.

    Well, there is nothing specific in this configuration which is applicable only for Spain. However, in FI, especially with bank processing and tax regulations, there are several specific developments (some of them are represented by notes) which should be taken into consideration with every project in Spain.
    To start SAP project during the year is a normal thing and requires regular cut-off procedure; there are no specifics for any country.

  • 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

  • Settings required for including changes in data in a transport request.

    Hi All,
    I need the settings required for saving ths data changed in a database table into a customizing request.
    Kindly let me know the steps involved in the process.
    To elaborate:
    I have a maintenance screen for a DB table.
    Whenever a user creates/changes data to/from the DB table , using the maintenance screem, the data should be saved into a customizing TR.
    Regards-
    Harmeet Singh,

    Hi there,
    Any config change will be saved under a transport request TR. Also tables are of 2 types: Customizing table & application table.
    Changes / new entry in a customized table are transportable. You will gte a TR when the customized table values are changed / new entry.
    But application table entry / changes are non transportable. You willnot get a TR when saving the data.
    To know it, go to SE11 --> give the table name --> display --> attributes --> Delivery class. Delivery class A is application table, C is customizing table.
    Also some standard tables like MARA, VBAK are not allowed to maintain. If a table is allowed to be maintained, table maintaience allowed is checked in the above.

  • Function module required for BOM Changes

    Dear SAP Guru
    I need the function module which gives me the details of changes done in the BOM.
    Scenario: Need to develop the report which gives only the details of BOM changed on the given date. The BOM level might vary.
    Regards

    Dear
    I think you should have ECM in place to have tracability for any changes carried out in BOM .
    Refer earlier posting : Re: ECM ECR
    If the ECM is in place , then you can see what changes has been done in CC02/03 Environmnet - > Reporting -> Bill of Material.
    Otherwise please try the following Functinal Module : You can also try CEWB and CS80
    1. CSAP_BOM_ITEM_MAINTAIN
    2.CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2
    3.CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ  and CDHDR

  • Change in Fiscal Year Variant Causes Cube to become inactive

    In Maintain Fiscal Year variant, we attempted to change the Fiscal Periods to reflect the 2007 Fiscal Calendar. When we saved it, it caused the Update Rules for our Infocube to become inactive. I need to know how to reactivate them or what to do. The Error message is saying that there is no routine created for the object. How do I recreate the routine and reactive the Update Rules?
    We are using BW 3.1

    Hi David,
    Whenever you change a MetaData Object, BW will automatically deactivate everything that relies on that object to prevent system instability.  In this case, your Update Rules and InfoCube (and MultiProviders if you use them) were deactivated.  In most cases, simply reactivating them will correct the problem. 
    Judging from your post, this isn't the case.  What did you do to the InfoObject that required reactivation of the InfoObject?  You may want to check inside the Update Rules to see if BW removed the connection that you had before.  I've seen that happen as well.

  • Change of  fiscal year in number range

    Hello,
    Currently my number range 01 is defined till year 2015. Now business wants to change this and start from the first number in the fiscal year 2010.
    My question is how can I change my number range from this.
    01  2015  1000000    2000000     1000115
    to this
    01 2009  1000000    2000000     1000115
    01 2010  1000000    2000000     0
    We are currently in FY 2010. I cannot delete the line containing 2015 because it is currently used. Therefore I tried to create new line for 2010 but SAP continued to select numbers from the line with 2015.

    Hi Guys,
    I need to create a variable exit to calculate the Current Fiscal Period of Current Fiscal Year. (STrange requirement)
    Can anyone please help me with the sample code?

    You can use DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT based on the current date (sy-datum).
    call function 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
    exporting
    i_date = sy-datum
    i_periv = w_fiscal_year_var

    e_buper = w_period
    e_gjahr = w_year

  • New business requirement for ECM changes to BOM item detail

    Hello SAP ECM gurus,
    I need your guidance on below requirement from the customer in ECM.
    We have 'Date effectivity' in our system i.e. object changes become effective on 'valid from' date.
    We also have a custom enhancement where BOM header status is controlled by the 'post approval' process via workflow.
    i.e. BOM status is changed to 11 when 'Complete Change' status is set on OMR and changed back to '01' automatically when 'Release Change' is set on OMR.
    We have a new requirement from business as described below:
    For ex:
    2 components (COMP1 & COMP2) are added to BOM through ECR1 effective from 01-AUG-2011 till Infinity
    2 more components (COMP3 & COMP4) will be added to the same alternate through ECR2 effective from 01-SEP-2011 till Infinity.
    ECR1 changes are made and OMR status set to 'Complete Changes' changes i.e. BOM status is 11 effective from 01AUG2011 till Infinity.
    At this point of time, ECR2 is created. When changes are being made to the same BOM using ECR2, COMP1 & COMP2 (added through ECR1) appear in the BOM.
    This is not desirable for the customer. They do not want to see COMP1 & COMP2 to appear when changes are being made to ECR2 as ECR1 is still not post approved. They expect COMP1 & COMP2 to appear in the BOM only when ECR1 is post approved.
    How can we control effectivity of COMP1 & COMP2 such that, they become available in the system ONLY WHEN  'Release Change' is set on OMR?
    Can 'Parameter Effectivity' be used in this scenario?
    Thank you very much for your advice and guidance,
    BK

    Hi JH thanks for your quick reply,
    Let me describe it more specific, I have two material FG and SFG. Material FG is maintained with valuation type so when we do goods receipt for SFG it's asked to input valuation type in batch field. In stock SFG material qty is separated for each valuation type like batch.
    Now i want to maintain in BOM for FG, where component SFG has fix the valuation type / batch so that in production order we don't have to choose manually. Do you have any idea ?
