Special periods in reporting
Hello friends,
Let me ask, maybe you'll have the idea how to implement the functionality I need. I use 16 periods in my BW implementation (12 months and 4 special periods). When running the report, user can put the period as a selection. It means that user puts "5" to see may data etc. But when user puts the special period, for example "14", he/her should see actually periods 12-14, as special periods are assigned to December in my firm.
Any help is appreciated.

Some thoughts:
For periods from 12 and beyond ( to cover all the special perids), make a separate variable filled by an exit. The exit should apply the logic : if the period is >12, then read the data from 12 onwards untill the value entered , for example, if the value entered is 13, the variable should read 12 & 13 and the data to be displayed accordingly.
With the variable mentioned above, create a restricted key figure and use the same in the query.

Running GR55 reports for special periods
When running GR55 reports, the selection field for "Period" only lists periods 1 to 12. We are using the standard K4 FI year variant.
Can someone tell me how to get the 4 special periods displayed for selection?
Thank you,
HakizaThe drop down in the "To" field only lists periods 001 to 012, but it lets you manually enter other periods such as 14 or 16.
So you are not limited by the periods displayed in the drop down box.
I hope this solves your problem. Thanks,

Aging calculation with Special periods
Hi all,
I have a asset cube (Cumulative movements) to store values by fiscalyear/period including special period (P13-P16) and requirements to get aging report based on fiscal year/period and report as follows.
Curent | >30days|>60 days| >120 days| >180 days|
Asset Number
I’m getting aging is based on selection period, and with off set (-1, -2, -3 etc.) .
For example, If selection date 002.2014, P2 amount will be in current , P1 amount in >30 days, P12 amount in >60days but in >60days expecting to get from P16 to P12 values.
Please give some inputs to get special periods values into aging backet as Cube is storing special period values.
Regards
Naani.Hi Naami
Since you can't work with fiscal year period to offset with std values then create a Variable with customer exit and translate fiscal year period to calmonth then offset this one with your values.
Thank you

Depreciation run with special period
We require 2 set of FS reports:-
1.) FS as at 14/12/2007
2.) FS as at 31/12/2007
We have use the following period to derive the the reports
1.) Period 12 (Transactions 1st - 14th Dec 2007)
2.) Period 14 ( Transactions 15th - 31st Dec 2007)
Q1.)Should Dec depreciation run on period 14?
Q2.) If yes, will the depreciation run capture the depreciation from 1st - 31st Dec 2007?
Q3.) We have tried to run Dec depreciation in period 14 but error "According to the posting cycle, you should post period 012 next."
Pls advise
1.) Steps to run Dec 2007 depreciation in order to capture the whole month depreciation.
2.) Which period to open in OB52.
Kindly assist as this is urgent. Points will be rewarded. Thank youDear Hari,
Thank you for the helpful points. Rewarded.
FYI, our cut off date is 14th Dec 2007. Any transactions after this date will go to period 14. In OB52, we set only period 14 open to block user from posting to other periods. Will this affect the depreciation run (given scenario where we run AFAB for period 12)?
When we run AFAB for period 12, this is the error we get:
Period 12 is not allowed
Message no. F5567
Diagnosis
The period entered (12) is different from the period calculated (14) and is also not in the interval for special periods (013 to 016).
System Response
Error.
Procedure
Correct the value entered for the posting period.
What shoud we do? -
Dear guruz,
Please help to get more information about posting in special periods (13-16) in SAP.
We have following situation:
After year end closing we need to audit our financial statements for external use (IFRS). As audit lasts several months I cannot afford to leave the balances of new year unuploaded. So I perform the balance carry forward procedure before the audit starts.
Now I'd like to add some corrections in audited reporting by use of special posting periods.
My questions are:
-does these postings, performed after balance carry forward procedure affect on accounts in future (is this possible to face with problems in the future); Do I have to repeat the balance carry forward procedure?
-is this possible to divide all the postings (for internal reporting and for audited reporting) to be able to see these balances in standard SAP reports (such as S_ALR_87012300 "GL account balances" and so on) with and without postings made by use of special periods in previous years.
respect,
Oleg.1. I don't think that assumption is correct. Bal. c/f program can be run multiple times. Also, once bal. c/f program is run, if you make any postings in the previous year they are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year. Here is the bal. c/f program documentaton.
This program is used to carry forward the balances of the general ledger or another ledger to the new fiscal year.
The program can be run multiple times.
Normally, the program does not need to be run more than once, since postings to the previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year, if the balance carry forward program has already been run.
Generally, the balance is carried forward as follows:
Balance sheet accounts are transferred with all additional account assignments.
P&L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings account. Additional account assignments are not transferred. The transaction currencies are not transferred and are totaled in the local currency.
2. In your case, if you are using new GL, you can create a non-leading ledger and post audit adjustments only to the non-leading ledger. You regular postings for the year hit both the leading (0L) and non-leading ledgers.
3. I am not good at asset accounting - so I can't answer your question on depreciation for audit adjustment postings. -
Inversion documents when using the special Periods with FYV K4
Hello All,
I have posted some documents in Period 12 and they are not inverting in period1. we are using the FYV as K4 which is 12 periods plus 4 special periods. My business requirement is whatever the documents posted in Period12 to Period 16, they need to be inverted in Period1.
I have tried all different combinations and permitation by changing the consolidation frequency, Document types and tasks. But there is no use and SAP also replied back as per the below. So please help if you have any information regarding this issue.

Dear Jags,
There is no special handling of the 'special' periods regarding invers-
ion.
The period initialization task just considers the closing frequency,
which is assigned to the respective task.
According to this frequency, it inverts the previous closing period.
If you use the closing frequency monthly, which contains
also the special periods 13-16, then the following logic applies:
period of execution / inversion period of original document
01 16
02 01
03 02
04 03
05 04
06 05
07 06
08 07
09 08
10 09
11 10
12 11
13 12
14 13
15 14
16 15
If the closing frequency contains also the special periods, please
execute the period initialization task also in all special periods.
I hope this helps to answer your question. If so, please confirm this
message. For additional questions regarding that topic please turn to
to the information sources listed in note 83020)
Kind regards

TEST1 task is showing up in Period12 in the cons monitor
Posted one document with 2 lines in Period12.
It is not inverting in period1 part of the period initialization task, but it is inverting period 13.
Issue: I am unable to invert the doc in period1.
Even I tried with 2 different doc types and 2 different Flexible upload methods. But there is no use.
TEST2 task is showing up in period13 only in the cons monitor
Posted one document with 2 lines in Period13.
It is inverting in period1 part of the period initialization task, so here there is no issue from the beginning.

0FISCPER3 - Default to last closed period in Report Variable
Hi all,
We have a requirement in our reports to default the Posting Period to last closed period.
In the InfoCube we have 0CALMONTH (In Period) and also 0FISCPER3 (Posting Period). The values for Posting Period varies from 1 to 16.
What is the functionality behind Posting Period ?
How can we find the last closed period as months are 12 and Posting period are 16 ?
Kindly clarify.
Thanks!Hello,
The fiscal year variant contains the number of posting periods in the fiscal year and the number of special periods.
You can define a maximum of 16 posting periods for each fiscal year in the Controlling component (CO).
The fiscal year variant specifies the number of periods and special periods in a fiscal year and how the SAP System is to determine the assigned posting periods.
You have 12 periods in SAP and also four special periods. These periods are stored in what is called the fiscal year variant (K1, K2, K3 and K4)
You can use the function module DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT to get the period by passing the date.

How to use special characters in Report Builder
Hi everyone,
I wonder if you guys can help me. I'm trying to change our Invoice hearders from English to Portuguese. Eg, I've changed this English heading
("FOR ACCOUNT QUERIES CONTACT") to this Portuguese heading ("PARA CONSULTAS DE CONTA CONTACTE"). So when I'm done, my entire invoice will be in Portuguese. This works fine, until I get special characters in some of the Portuguese translations. I can copy and paste the translations with special characters into Report Builder. But when I print the invoice in Oracle Apps (with a PDF output), the special characters get replaced with a "?".
Here's an example:
< "Line No" should read "Linha nº" but it prints out as "Linha n?" > Does anybother know how I can resolve this? I'm using Report Builder: 10.1.2.3.0 on Oracle Apps: 11.5.10.2 and RDBMS : 10.2.0.4.0
Thank you in advanceHi,
You need to have Portuguese font installed on your machine, if you are running the report from your machine or else if you are running the same from report server then the font has to be there on the server font dir. -

Procurement Period wise Reports in BEx?

could you pl provide me the solution to create variable for my requirement.

vadlamudiHi,
Create a User Input variable with Selection Option Mandatory / Optional and restrict the variable to FiscalYear/Period globally in free characteristic.
Once you do so, based on the input you will be able to get the output. If you give more than one period as input, drill down the fiscal year period across in output you will get the desired result.
Hope this helps
