Hi VS,
Please be aware restrictions on Alternative Fiscal Year Variant as below:
Restrictions
Only one common fiscal year variant is allowed in the leading ledger.
Alternative fiscal year variants cannot be assigned to the leading ledger.
An alternative fiscal year variant can only be assigned to a company code for the parallel, non-leading ledger, to which no data has been posted yet.
The start and end dates of posting periods in fiscal year variants assigned to the non-leading ledger of a company code must not differ from the start and end dates of posting periods in the fiscal year variant assigned to the leading ledger. The periods must be of equal length. This means that, for example, if the posting period is one month and the fiscal year has 12 posting periods, then the alternative fiscal year variant must also follow this pattern. Currently, industry-specific fiscal year variants, such as the 4-4-5 variant, as well as fiscal year variants containing 13 posting periods and 3 special periods, are not supported as alternative fiscal year variants.
Additional posting period variants can only be created by SAP. If you need an additional posting period variant in the context of defining an alternative fiscal year variant, please contact SAP using the Worldwide Customer Requests Repository (WCR).
- If you use different fiscal year variants, you must run your period-end closing activities using the combination of ledger and company code that corresponds to the relevant alternative fiscal year variant. If you run the activities for one or more periods (such as for actual cost rate calculation or settlement), you should keep the following in mind:
You have to start your period-end closing activities individually per ledger.
Depending on the respective job, you also have to start your period-end closing activities individually per company code.
If you run period-end activities (for example, foreign currency valuations) for a specific key date, you can run the respective job for all ledgers even if you use different FYVs.
Existing company codes that already use an alternative fiscal year variant that was created using the Create Ledger for Alternative Fiscal Year Variant configuration activity can't be migrated to the standard ledgers that will be used with the Assign Fiscal Year Variants to Ledgers and Company Codes configuration activity (also see the Dependencies section in this document).
The restrictions regarding Universal Parallel Accounting also apply to the alternative fiscal year variant. For more information, see SAP Note 3033604
.
Specific restrictions: For a comprehensive list of restrictions by application component, see SAP Note 3114838

You cannot use the Create Ledger for Alternative Fiscal Year Variant configuration activity to create a new ledger for an alternative fiscal year variant anymore. However, if you did use this configuration activity to create an additional ledger for alternative fiscal year variants in an earlier release, you can continue to use this configuration activity to assign new company codes to this additionally created ledger. If company codes exist that have been assigned to the additional ledger using this configuration activity, you can't migrate these company codes to the non-leading standard ledger using the Assign Fiscal Year Variants to Ledgers and Company Codes configuration activity.
CautionRelevant for customers working with the Manage Your Solution app for their configuration settings and who are already using an alternative fiscal year variant:
Do not create new company codes with reference to company codes that have been implemented with the Create Ledger for Alternative Fiscal Year Variant configuration activity. If you do this, the system would then copy obsolete reference ledger settings and assign them to the new company code. Only create new company codes with reference to company codes to which the alternative fiscal year variant has not been assigned using the Create Ledger for Alternative Fiscal Year Variant configuration activity. If all of your existing company codes have been implemented with the Create Ledger for Alternative Fiscal Year Variant configuration activity or you have accidentally created new company codes with reference to company codes that have been implemented with this configuration activity, please contact SAP for support.
After you save the assignment of company codes to the ledger, you can no longer unassign the assigned company codes. You can, however, assign new company codes to a ledger at a later point in time, as long as no journal entry has been posted to this company code in any of your systems.
