Hi,

one of the basic setting in FI is fiscal year variant (A fiscal year is divided into posting periods. Each posting period is defined by a start and a finish date. Before you can post documents, you must define posting periods, which in turn define the fiscal year. In addition to the posting periods, you can also define special periods for year-end closing.) an eg is SAP standard K4 - 12 posting periods and 4 special periods.

so this variant which is operative in FI should match or be same in CO.

hope its clear.

Hello,

As the cost is flow from the Controlling area to FI , the Operative fiscal year variants in the Co.codes must be = fiscal yr. var. in controlling area.(i.e FI-CO integration)

Cost Center, Order etc, comes under controlling area.
