Re: Fiscal Year Variants
Hello All,
I'm trying to use two different fiscal year variants; one for Weekly and One for Monthly. I'm using one storage bucket profile for the Weekly using the fiscal year variant "ZW" and I'd like to use the montly fiscal year variant "ZM"
<b>My Question: Is there a possibility to use single Planning Area? Do we have to use different Planning Areas?</b>
Using different Planning Areas increases the overhead of maintaining data in two different planning areas and as well impact the time based dis-aggregation.
Any useful hints or suggestions are highly appreciated
Thanks
Surender
Dear Surender,
Could you elaborate the exact need for 2 different fiscal variants (week and month). Normally you could use one at the monthly level, and create a time bucket profile to view the data in weeks

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,

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,
CsabaYes 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

Fiscal year variant is not maintained for calendar year 2009
Hi,
After upgrade to BI 7.0 we are getting error: "Fiscal year variant & is not maintained for calendar year 2009" while opening a query through Bex Analyzer.
Basically it is happening like when we open a particular query, the Variable selection screen comes up, then on clicking the exection button (after selection) it shows SYSTEM_FAILURE exception & clicking the details button, shows the message ""Fiscal year variant is not maintained for calendar year 2009"
Please provide some information/resolution to this.
Thanks,
Shantanu.HI,
Please ensure that you have defined your fiscal year variant in OB29
correctly. It is necessary that:
1. the previous year has been maintained,
2. an entry for Dec 31 exists in each fiscal year,
3. the following fiscal year has been maintained.
Hope this helps.

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!

Edited by: Nick Bertz on Dec 3, 2009 3:17 PMHello,
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.

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,
Variant : 0001
Account Type: +
From Period : 1
Year : 1995
To Period : 12
Year : 2010
From Period2 : 13
Year : 2000
To period2 : 16
Year : 2010
Please let me know what customising needs to be done to solve this issue.
Thanks a ton.
Best Regards,
JeffHi,
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

Check if you have transferred fiscal year variants from source system to BW. Then trigger DTP.

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.
ChanduDear 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.

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~!Hi,

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.

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
RaviHi,
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.

Fiscal Year Variant not Maintained
Hello All,
while creating asset master using AS01 T Code i am getting an error "Fiscal year "A3" Variant is not maintained for Financila year 2010 for Compnay Code 0600".
but i have configured Fical year variant and assigned to co code, i am able to post the transactions for all the periods i.e financial year 2010.
here my question is whether we need to maintain the Fiscal year variant separately for Asset accounting in ECC 6.0.
Please Suggest
Thanks
Shankarhi,
please check the below path,
spro--Financial Accounting (New) -- Asset Accounting -- Valuation -- Fiscal Year -- Fiscal Year Variants -- Specify Other Versions on Company Code Level and Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level.
check the above path, is there any FY is assigned to your company code or Depreciation Area.
