Definition

The fiscal year variant defines the fiscal year.

Use

You can use a fiscal year variant to define the following:

  • the number of posting periods in a fiscal year
  • the number of special periods you need
  • how the system should determine the posting period when you make a posting.

During definition, you assign your posting periods to the calendar year.

Assignment control requires that the company code has the same number of posting periods as the assigned controlling area.

This means that the variants used in the company code and the controlling area must agree as to the number of posting periods.

For each company code, you need to specify which fiscal year variant should be used. The fiscal year variant must not contain more than 16 posting periods.

Note:

The company codes delivered are assigned to the fiscal year variant corresponding to the calendar year; it includes four special periods.

You can maintain fiscal year variants and assign company codes to them in the Financial Accounting customizing menu.
