Shortend Fiscal Year

Hi All,
We currently follow Fiscal Year as Calaender year, But Business decided to change it fiscal year to Aril to March from this year, so we had stopped postings in that company code, for changing the calender year to Aril to March.
Now i had changed the Variant to P3 same as R1 (Shortend Fical year) and i had transferred all balances and posted an entry.when i run the FAGLB03 i am getting an Error: Fiscal year Variant P3 is not maintained for calenderyear 2012. Message No:FGV002.
Please kindly let me know why this error is coming and suggest me to solve this.

Due to shortend fiscal year problem in depre amounts.

Dear All,
Due to shortend fiscal year (apr07-mar08) we are facing Depre calculation problem.
1) There are no errors in AFAB & AW01N. Itu2019s showing balance 3 (jan07,feb07,mar07)months depre in AFAB u201CTo Postu201D column.
2) User doesnu2019t want to post the balance 3 months depre and they wants to carry forward for the next financial years continuously. But here the problem is before recalculate assets the difference is only 35 $, but after SAP suggested to Recalculate assets before depre run that is run AFAR then run AFAB they found that the amount is 31000+. Which canu2019t carry forward such a big amount?
Pls help us to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Since you are on BPC 5.1, I don't believe you can take advantage of multiple hierarchies within the Time Dimension. So, I would create a report rendering the information you need, with the columns being fixed using properties and EVTIM. The values for the quarterly and yearly levels would be sums instead of retrievals from the database.

How to configure shortend fiscal year

Hi friends
plz tell me configure of shortend fiscal year
urgent

Hello Kavitha,
Background- A shortened fiscal year results when you change from a normal fiscal year to a non-calendar fiscal year, or the other way around. This type of change might be necessary, for instance, if an enterprise becomes part of a new corporate group.
Features:The R/3 Financial Accounting component fully supports the use of shortened fiscal years. However, there are still some points to consider from the perspective of Asset Accounting when you use a shortened fiscal year.
Configuration: Define the length of the shortened fiscal year and the distribution of the periods in the shortened fiscal year. (Refer to Shortened Fiscal Years).
Determine the rules for reducing depreciation for the individual depreciation types and depreciation areas. This is done in FI-AA Customizing: Valuation->Fiscal Year-> Shortened Fiscal Year).
If the current fiscal year was changed to a shortened fiscal year, start the program for recalculating depreciation (under Tools).
Hope I had beena ble to help you. please assign points.

Creation of shortend Fiscal year for the Merger of two Companies.

Company 'A'is getting Merged with the Company 'B' on 15th February 2010. Company 'A' is suppose to submit all the financial details to the Company 'B' on 15th February 2010, furthermore the users with the Company 'A' should not be allowed to post any transactions after 15th February 2010.(Max they should be given 10 days grace period for closing the financial year)
The current fiscal year for the Company 'A' is from April to March. However, as per the above mentioned scenario it is required to have fiscal year from April to February.i.e. a shortened fiscal year.
Please note that Company 'A' is using the version 4.7.
Steps we have already proceeded with
1. we created a Shortened fiscal year "Z1"from April to Feb 2010 (Monthly basis) wherein we have taken only 15 days for the month of Feb 2010.
2. we have created an another Shortened fiscal year(weekly basis) wherein we have taken six weeks as posting period.
3.We assigned the Fiscal year Variant to the company code.
4.After assigning when we want to check the details of the assets in the Asset explorer AW01N.the system is reflecting an error "
SYST: Error when calculating first day in fiscal period > F1
Message no. AA654
Please provide us with the solution for the above mentioned scenario.

Creation of Shortend Fiscal year..

Dear Frenz,
I have an issue regarding my shortened fiscal year.. My client is following 2009 as fiscal year for the period Jan 2008 to Dec 2008.
Now he is closing the books in september and wants to create a shortened fiscal year for oct, nov & Dec..
My question is the that need i create a new fiscal year variant or should i configure a shortened fiscal year in the existing variant only...
Regards,
Shanks...

Hi,
Can you please tell me why does he want to close the fiscal yr and have a new fiscal yr variant for remaining 3 periods?
Assume that he is selling the company to some one else he wanted to continue the same business and he wanted his business to run on SAP, then you will have to creat a new fiscal yr varint which should be "Short end Fiscal Yr" and "Short end Fiscal Yr" should be a yr dependent since he will never use the same kind of Fiscal yr and periods.
Please let me know if you have any concerns,
Hope understood and assign points if you get through.
Thanks,
Vasu..

Shorten fiscal year

Dear gurus,
currently, our company would like to change the financial year end from FY2010 (jan- Dec) to (March to Feb). We are using FIAA and CO. Currently the controlling area code is accross companies. Now, we are in month of July 2010. Therefore, can i extend my period from 12 periods to 14 periods in SAP? i understand SAP has the feature of "shortening fiscal year". However, i would like to have details steps on it.
Please helps.
Thank you.
Regards
Kee Hwee, Lee

Hi,
In SAP, the Shortening fiscal year stands for which fiscal year contains less than "12 posting periods" is called as a shortend fiscal year and it would suits to your requirement tentatively for 2 months (Jan and Feb).
But, how do you draw the balance sheet for the whole year for upcomming year?
In Generally, the shortend Fiscal Year would be used at the begining of the SAP use, the business go live is for few months rather than one full fiscal year.
I suggest you to go, to use the Leading and Non-Leading Ledger Concept for the same. So then, you can keep the fiscal year K0, K1, K2, K3, K4 (Any one - Jan to Dec) and create a new fiscal year for your requirement of March to Feb. You do get the reports for both the Fiscal Year Variance at once.

Open and Close periods/Fiscal years

Dear All
We are in the process of FM-BCS implementation, we observed thre is transaction code (FMOPER) for open the Budget periods. This is working for Budget workbech (FBMM) only. But at the time of Actual Postings even period is not open in FMOPER system is allowing for actual postings.
Kindly suggest where we can control actual postings through period open/cose option in FM-BCS.
Thanks in advance
Rao

Hi Rao,
You need to be aware of all the impact of the use of PBET (Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking) before activating it in transaction OF39. This is not a simple change, it impacts all your integrated postings that come from all other areas (FI, CO, MM, SD) into FM.
You cannot use any FM update date other than the POSTING date when PBET is active.
One common error when you activate PBET is FI_E050 - Posting date/period 00/00/0000 is earlier than existing
date/period 00/00/0000.
If you want updating to take place on the delivery date, you must return profile to Fiscal Year Based (non-PBET) updating.
This step will also eliminate the error FI_E050.
Part of the basic PBET logic, aims at recording a detailed change history of every single document in FM.
For more details on this, please also refer to the program documentation and chapter Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Recording Actual and Commitment Data -> Period-Based Encumbrance Tracking.
The standard functionality when PBET is active is to use the system date as the FM posting date. However, you do have 3 options to overwrite this:
Document Creation:
1.- Version Management (PR/PO)
2.- FM updating date is the document posting date.
Document Change:
1.- System use FM_TRANS_DATE date as FM updatign date, if this date is not filled, system use system date as FM updating date.
If customer want to change this logic, the FM updating date is decided by one of the following three steps, in order shown.
- Version Management (PR/PO): Posting date of version
- Transaction FMOD to override the update date by user
- Activate user exit EXIT_SAPLFMFA_004 so that a popup screen is
displayed that permits entering the FM posting date, you could
manually set the date found in the document header to a later date.
- you could manually set the date found in the document header to a
later date (System date SY_DATUM).
PBET is Periodic-based encumbrance tracking and it is a function that monitors encumbrances per period, with a change record issued for each change made within a period. This function belongs to Funds Management Area (PSM-FM).
If PBET is active, system does not allow posting to a date earlier than the present date, you will receive error FI_E050 in case this is not satisfied. Follow are two comments form the code which indicate same:
"No new dates can be earlier than the original or new account assignment line items".
"Ensure that new fm update dates are not older than original date or if a change, this change must be latest date in document"
To use or not to use PBET is customer decision and this impact that the period is verified more strictly than without PBET. Maybe you should consider with your consultant if using PBET is the best solution for your business processes.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

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...

Import fixed assets in middle of fiscal year 2013

Hi,
I like to import several fixed assets in middle of fiscal year 2013. The attached file works fine but when I then look at the depreciation months, I see the depreciation for the complete year of 2013. But when I set the start depreciation date in the import file set to 2013-11-01 the import is not working anymore because of wrong calculation of lifetime.
How can I import this fixed asset with start depr date set to 2013-11-01 and only the last 2 months (Nov and Dec) need an depreciation for 2013??
And not also the previous months !!!
Thanks again.
Mark

Hi Mark,
Import FA with depreciation start date as 2014/01/01 and run the depreciation for the said two months by doing an journal entry. Depreciation is calculated for a whole year.

How to add FISCAL YEAR, Period and Day to cube.

hi,
I am using SD EXTRACTORS (2LIS_11_VAITM, 2LIS_11_VAKON, 2LIS_12_VCITM and 2LIS_13_VDITM) and directly updating each corresponding ODS and cube.
All the extractors only have FISCAL VARIANT has the time characteristic. So, all my ODS contains only one time char - fiscal variant and other dates (liek document created date etc. (not a time char)).
Now, I want to use fiscal period, fiscal year and fiscal day in my cube. I have added these time char in my cube.
My question:
1. how to get FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL PERIOD and FISCAL DAY get updated. Do I need to map to document created date in update rules or Do I need to use some functional module.
Pls note I am bringing only FISCAL VARIANT from R/3 into ODS and then to CUBE.
PLS REPLY.

Date : Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
2. Sales Condition cube (from VAKON)
           Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN) -- (0DOC_NUMBER)
           Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0S_ORD_ITEM)
Date: Document created date (VBAK-AUDAT) -- 0DOC_DATE
Key field: Netprice (VBAP-NETWR) -- 0NET_VALUE
3. Delivery Cube (from VCITM)
         Sales order number (VBUK-VBELN)   -- (0DELIV_NUMB)
         Item   (VBUK-POSNR)                         -- (0DELIV_ITEM)
Date: Delivery Date :LIKP-WADAT_IST      -- 0ACT_GI_DTE
4. Billing Cube (from VDITM)

          Sales Item (VBUK-POSNR)              -- (0BILL_ITEM)
Date: Billing Date: (VBRK-FKDAT)             -- (0BILL_DATE)
Key field: Net price (VBRP-NETWR)       -- 0NETVAL_INV

Shortened Fiscal Year and its impact on BI back end and Bex reports

Hi All,
Our client is making some changes to the fiscal year period.
Becuase of some business requirements, we will have to shortened the fiscal year.
Can you please suggest - what are the watch points when we do this?
- what will be the impact to BI back end and Bex reports?
Thanks,
Nisha

Hello Nisha,
Since the fiscal year (Infobjects - 0FISCYEAR and/ 0FISCPER3) is compounded with fiscal year variant, therefore maintaining the correct variant in BI will automatically take care of showing the data correctly.
So there are two things to be maintained in BI:
1) To see that the variant definition.
2) If you need to display the text of the fiscal periods, then the correct texts.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Shweta

*Dear friends,*

Hi,
due to the fact that you dont want to use the quarter of the calendar year, you should build up an appropriate one and add it to the cube. Also you should fill it by formula or routine.

Mid Month Calculation for Year dependent fiscal year

Hi All,
We are in middle of AA implementation .How can we configure mid month in year dependent fiscal year .System doesn't allow to put mid month date for year dependent fiscal year.
If we copy co.code from best practice co.code BP01 system updates date this table in back round.
But we are not copying from BP01.
Any one has configure this for year dependent please input.
Thanks,

Hi,
this function is not possible, you have to use a fiscal year variant with 24 real periods instead.
Check the IMG documentation concerning "Use of Half Months in the Company Code":
- When you specify the use of half periods in the definition of an asset company code, half periods are automatically specified in all other company codes that use this fiscal year version.
- You cannot use half periods with non-calendar fiscal months.
- You cannot take back the use of half periods once the specification has been made. It is noted internally by the system in the asset master records.

Markus
