Fi. Year Variant in Stor. Bucket Profile Question

[Former Member]

Regarding the Storage Bucket Profile, when maintaining the periodicity, do any of you have experience in what PostPeriod and Fi. Year Variant will do for you? I am not familiar with them.

Thanks Kumar, but that post didn't really answer my questions. I would like to know the definition of what it means to check mark "PostPeriod" in the storage bucket profile. And what does using a Fi. Year Variant do? I know you define that in SPRO.

Hi,

You can choose to select PostPeriod and define the custom period using a Fiscal Year Variant.

For more information, look at this

Hope this helps.

Storage bucket profiles allow you to save youor DP time series data in buckets.

these could be days, weeks , months and/or years. The data is stored in the bucket with the lowest granularity.

Now these are all in Calendar units. Calendar months, calendar weeks etc. But businesses sometimes plan by a different unit of time - Posting Periods.

(for example a posting period is months with 4,4,4,5,4,4,4,4,5,4,4,4, 5 weeks) or they could be from 15th of a month to 15th of the next month.

in order to model this you need posting periods and this is attached to a fiscal year variant. the Post(ing) period check box just indicates that a fiscal year will be used and you get to enter the FYV that you created in SPRO.

there is some general info of a scenario in the discussion below
