Issue in DP Fiscal Year Variant

Former Member

Dear All,

I have a requirement of defining Financial year(April to march)

So created a fiscal year variant as below for year 2009

Month Day Period Year Shift

1 31 10 -1

2 28 11 -1

3 31 12 -1

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 7 0

11 30 8 0

12 31 9 0.

Now in yearly bucket if i enter a value for 2009

1) In monthly bucket(posting periods) it is disaggregated to P10, P11 & P12 of 2008 and P1 to P9 of 2009.

Instead it should be P1 to P9 of 2009 and P10, P11 & P12 of 2010. Can you please tell how to fix this?

2) Should i use a User exit to view the monthly bucket as M1, M2 etc, instead of P1, P2 etc.

Thanks in advance,

Santhana.

Dear Santhana,

If u want to create one fiscal year in APO you have to take 2 years calender ,

i.e. if u want 1st April to 31st March 2009 then insert 2 years in Fiscal Year varient i.e. 1st Jan 2008 to 31st Dec 2009.

Your problem will get resolved.

Hi Santhana,

Can you let me know, have u tick on Year dependent?

See i am also using same fiscal year period. But we are not getting this type of description.

Do one thing, just right click on period in data view & check period information for repective period, if that will show wrong start bucket & end bucket, then something is wrong in to your fiscal year variant.

In case of you want change description of period which showing in the data view, then you can use user exit.

e.g. instead of P01. 2009 you want APR 2009, then you go for user exit APODM006.

Hope this will help you...

Hi Sujay,

Thanks for immediate response.

Yes i did check Year dependant.

See, the bucket information is showing correct, no issues in that.

Problem is with Time based disaggregation.

When i enter on yearly bucket, the value is disaggregated from months Jan to Dec and NOT April to March.

Thanks,

Santhana.

Hi,

This is true. We were also getting same problem. So we have created saperate fiscal year variant for the Year Bucket & Saperate Planning Area for the same.

See, if you want to create Fiscal Year variant for Year, then go with following logic.

Click on Year dependent & create.

3 31 1 -1

12 31 1 0

Hi Sujay,

Thanks for the inputs.

But strange SAP does not have a solution for it.

Then this problem would be faced in many projects

Thanks,
