Cost Planning Error

[Former Member]

Hi to All,

My name is Samad Farooq, currently using SAP Version 4.6C

When creating a cost plan using the transaction code KP06, error is encountered when we try to save the planned data. Error that is displayed is as follow “Ledger 4A has fiscal year variant V6 instead of K4”.

This specific case is happening only when using the controlling area JVCS and company code MAZ. Company code MAZ uses a calendar year.

Thanking You,

Samad Farooq

Samad.. chech out the process...

The fiscal year variant contains the number of posting periods in the fiscal year and the number of special periods.

You can define a maximum of 16 posting periods for each fiscal year in the Controlling component (CO). To define the fiscal year variant, go to Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), Financial Accounting Global Settings--->® Fiscal Year -

Integration

You need to specify the fiscal year variant for each company code.

When you create a controlling area, you also need to specify the fiscal year variant. The fiscal year variants of the company code and controlling area may only differ in the number of special periods used. You need to ensure that the fiscal year variants match, in other words, they may not have a time conflict.

You can assign a company code using a fiscal year variant with 12 posting periods and four special periods to a controlling area that has a fiscal year variant with 12 posting periods and one special period. The time frame, for example, from April 1 to March 31 in the following year, must be identical in each fiscal year variant.

However, it cannot be assigned to a controlling area with 52 posting periods for example.

For more information on fiscal year variants, see the SAP Library under AC Financials -
