Changing Fiscal Calendars in APO 4.0

[former_member601196]

All,

We need to change our Fiscal Period in APO. When we make this change, do I have to copy the data to a backup cube, change the fiscal calendar, and then reload the data back into DP?

I am on SCM 4.0. We will be going to SCM 5.0 in February. Will it be easier to make this change once we are on 5.0? Or will the same process have to happen in 5.0 that is necessary in 4.0?

Hi Monty,

Changing the Fiscal Period (Fiscal Year Variant) in APO is only possible when the Fiscal Period is not assigned to any Time Bucket or Storage Bucket Profile. This means you need to extract the data in the Planning Area to a cube, deactivate the time series, unassign the Fiscal Year Variant before you can change the Fiscal Year variant.

I am not sure if SCM 5.0 has made this process simpler. You need to check the Release Notes.

Also please note there is a separate forum for now.

Thanks,

Somnath
