Documentation
Definition
The fiscal year variant is used to define the fiscal year.
Use
You can define the following using a fiscal year variant:
- How many posting periods are in a fiscal year
- How many special periods you require
- How the system determines the posting periods when posting.
In the definition, you allocate your posting periods to the calendar year.
Allocation control requires the same number of posting periods in the company code and in the assignedcontrolling area.
This means that the number of posting periods in the fiscal year variants must be the same in the company code and in the controlling area. The period limits for the two fiscal year variants must also coincide.
You must define which fiscal year variant is to be used for each company code. To do this, you must define the appropriate fiscal year variant (to contain no more than 16 periods).
Note:
The company codes delivered with the standard system are allocated to the fiscal year variant that corresponds to the calendar year and which also uses four special periods.
You maintain fiscal year variants as well as the allocation of fiscal year variant to the company code in Financial Accounting Customizing.
Maintain fiscal year variants Proceed.
Allocation of fiscal year variant to the company code Proceed.
