Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

In each planning area, the fiscal year is dependent on other entry fields.

Within primary costs planning, there are direct dependencies for the following fields:

  • controlling area
  • version
  • planning parameters

Since one of the values determined on the basis of the fiscal year is the planning period, the fiscal year is also dependent on the following fields:

  • Cost center and group
  • Cost element and group

The SAP system checks whether the master data are valid for the entire planning period. When related to orders, the fiscal year is not dependent on any field, since this master data is not time-dependent.

With regard to the fields mentioned above:

  1. the fiscal year-dependent controlling area data
  2. the fiscal year-dependent version data
  3. the currency-related planning parameter fields are checked against the indicator: "Update all currencies?" (fiscal year-dependent controlling area data)
