How to create a Fiscal Year in SAP APO

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

I have a requirement with a client. To be honest, I never before worked with Fiscal Year definition. Nowadays, we configured a Data View with a TB profile as follow (5 months, 3 of them are defined in weeks and the last two ones are in months)

The client wants to see the buckets weekly, but if  the months or weeks end at the middle of the week, we need to group them:

Month 1

W1 - 01/apr to 11/apr

W2 - 12/apr to 18/apr

W3 - 19/apr to 25/apr

W4 - 26/apr to 30/apr

Month 2

W1 - 01/may to 09/may

W2 - 10/may to 16/may

W3 - 17/may to 23/may

W4 -  24/may to 31/may

Month 3

W1 -  01/jun to 06/jun

W2 - 07/jun to 13/jun

W3 - 14/jun to 20/jun

W4 - 21/jun to 30/jun

Month 4

M4 - 01/jul to 31/jul

Month 5

M5 - 01/ago to 30/ago

I was investigating with some other colleagues and the solution was determined by FY functionality.

I really appreciate your support on this

Alex.

Hi,

You define FYV in t-code OB29.
To use FYV in planning area, select fiscal period in storage bucket profile (/sapapo/tr32).
You have to de- and re-initialize the planning area to get liveCache data organized with the FYV.
A corresponding time bucket profile (/sapapo/tr30) has to be defined and used in the planning book/data view.

Hi Ada,

First, thanks for you help and quickly answer. After some problems, I could create and follow the steps that you described.

Nevertheless, I had some problems with the Time Bucket Profile.

Please find next the steps that I follow:

Step 1. Txn: OB29. Create the FYV as follow:

Step 2. Txn: /SAPAPO/TR32. Create the Storage Bucket Profile

Step 3. Txn: /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN. Assign the Storage Bucket Profile to the PA

Step 4. /SAPAPO/TR30. Create the Time Bucket Profile

The problem it's that I got an error message: "Input error 8 in row 1: see long text"

Do you know how I can solve this ?

Thanks in advanced for you support.

Hi Victor,

One way is to create the same in APO through OB29 directly in APO itself. On the other hand you can transfer fiscal year from connected ECC system. To do we have a program in APO RSIMPCUST which could be used to transfer currencies, UoM, Fiscal year variants & factory calendars. The benefit of using this is that you will always have FYV as per already defined definition. You need to put a background job for this let's say every month so that tables updated/rebuilt in case of any change. Rest all steps you need to follow as mentioned by Ada i.e. assigning the same in PA etc.
