Defining 'weeks' in APO DP

[Former Member]

I,m using APO release 5.0. I want to define a set of fixed 7 day Sunday start weeks to be used in APO DP, covering a span of multiple years.

The use of fiscal year variants seems problematic because there has to be a week ending 31/12/yyyy.

Is there any other way of defining such weeks?

Any advice appreciated?

Thanks....

Group APO,

It is true that when you define your Fiscal Year Variant, it has to end on 12/31 , since it does not allow to you to save otherwise.

Go ahead and end it on 12/31 of each year, and then start the 01/01 of the next year with the same period numbering.

To explain this in more detail, lets say when you end your 12/31 ,and this falls in period 52, and your actual fiscal week is ending on a Saturday - 01/01, in the next list of fiscal week entries of the following calender year, enter end date of the fiscal week as 01/01 and enter the period as 52 with a year shift of -1 . This hopefully should allow it to be considered as the 52nd period of the previous Fiscal year.

If you are still unclear of this, Any Finance person on your team should be able to help you on this.

Hope this helps,
