Definition

The fiscal year variant specifies the fiscal year.

Use

Using a fiscal year variant, you can define the following:

  • The number of posting periods that a fiscal year has.
  • The number of special periods you require.
  • How the system should determine posting periods during posting.

When you define the fiscal year variant, you assign your posting periods to the calendar year.

Assignment control requires there to be the same number of posting periods in the company code and in the assigned controlling area.

This means that the fiscal year variants used in company code and controlling area must have the same number of posting periods. Furthermore, the period limits of the fiscal year variants also need to agree. The period limits for the two fiscal year variants must also coincide.

You must specify for each company code which fiscal year variant should be used. For this, you have to define the corresponding fiscal year variant. The variant must not contain more than 16 periods.

Note:

The delivered company codes are assigned to the fiscal year variant that corresponds to the calendar year and in addition uses four special periods.

You can define fiscal year variants as well as the assignment between fiscal year variant and company code in Customizing for Accounting.
