Hi,

My Client wants to Change Fiscal Year Variant K4 to V3.

Currently the fiscal year is Jan - dec and the client wants to change over to April - march.

I'm not aware of changing the fiscal year variant(Confi). What are the customizations that has to be taken care of & Asset accounting has been also implemented with the same fiscal year variant assigned to the company code.

Can someone explain the complete procedure and the precautions that has to be taken care of the changing the fiscal year variant.

How to define Shortened fiscal Year variant for Jan 2011- March 2011 & should be assigned to co.code & later another fiscal year variant (V3) from April 2011- March 2012.

Please help me out in the Configuration & the porcedure that has to be followed for it & also Year end processing impact on that changes.

Regards,

Manish

Hi

Fiscal Year Variant generally done in the two phases

1. Migration to new variant

a) Create Short end fiscal yea variant for 3 months with year dependent parameter and assign to the company code (In the given case Jan to March)

b) Above activity is to be done at the end of 31st December.

c) Create Fiscal variant in line with V3 with year dependent parameter and assign at EOD 31st March.

d) Define the reduction rule with T Code u201COAYPu201D if you are using the assets accounting and you want to reduce the depreciation proportionately.

e) Apply OSS note 123026 id shortened year field does not activate automatically in table u201CT009Bu201D

f) Run the T Code OA84 and OAVH to generate period control for posting rules if error comes in T code AJRW (Fiscal year change) or AFAR (Recalculate depreciation)

g) By this way year will be advanced to year+1

In the given case Jan 2011- March 2011 - Fiscal year will be 2011

April 2011- March 2012 - Fiscal year will be 2012

c)If you are not clear about fiscal year variant configuration, you can use SLO service of short end fiscal year change from SAP .

2. Reducing Fiscal year to starting fiscal date year (I.e April 2011- March 2012 - Fiscal year will be 2011) is second step

a) For this SLO service of Fiscal year conversion available from SAP. SLO tool will change all desired changes.

HI,

We are already in Feb 2011 & now if we want to change fiscal year variant to R1 for the period Jan, Feb, & March 2011, can it be done with some work around. Also if we go ahead & do this change what problems it will give fot documents already posted in Jan2011.

Do we need to update OAVH manually for Fiscal Year Variant R1 or it can be generated by using some program.

We copied OAVH entries for variant K4 to Variant R1 is this OK.

In OA84 it is not showing any record for variant R1 for any year what is the problem.

You cannot change the year after the period is completed. It would have big ramifications on various modules. You would have to move your plan to the next available time period to move to the new fiscal year variant.
