Initializing the DP PA with rolling horizons

[Former Member]

Hi,

We would like to initialize the DP PA with rolling horizons, but we use the fiscal year variant with posting periods, when i use the PA initialization report and try to specify the past and future horizon in the variant i could see Beginning of mth-xx months, end of mth+yy months option only..but i would like to align this horizon with the Fiscal year periods..does any know how to achive this..Thanks.

Hi,

in initialization program you have FROM TO. If you enter the date after return the system will adapt it according to start and end date of fiscal periods. For keeping this in a dynamic variant, select the option +/- days (here you have max 999 days. Other option would be using the table TVARVC. In this case you have to maintain FROM - TO in this table and address the entry in your variant.

Hi,

=> (You can get access to maintain a new entry in the table TVARV) You have to maintain a custom variable name with lower limit, upper limit in Table TVARV under seletion tab.

=> Use the variable in the attribute of the variant of the Initialization program

=> You have to create Custom program to maintain custom entry in the TVARVC table

=> Run the custom program at required frequency to update the table TVARVC, value of Selection value-low, selection value -high for the custom variable as per your requirement.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If you are using a fiscal year variant in storage bucket profile, then the periods you specify in the initialization program should refer to the fiscal year variant.
