Definition

The fiscal year is determined using the fiscal year variant.

Use

You can use the fiscal year to define the following:

  • How many posting periods there are in a fiscal year.
  • How many special periods you require.
  • How the system should determine posting periods when posting.

When you define these settings, you must assign your posting periods to the calendar year.
