Inversion in the next year

Former Member

Hello all ,

we have a problem. Our consolidation frequency is set to period 0 to 16. Document type that are set to be inverted in the next year are not reverse in period one because the last period we really use id the period 12. The period 13 can be used for specific purpose. In the old BCS (EC-CS), period 13 to 16 was automatically reversed in period 1 of the following year. Is ther a way we can make it work in that way. We need entries from certain document type to be inverted from period 12 into period 1 of 2008.

Do I have to remove the special period 13 and up from the cons. frequency ?

Please give your input I need help !!

We use a special period (16) because of some specific requirements, and considered your question as well. So we did some testing...

In fact your last reply already describes what you should do: you should simply set up the system in such a way that only the tasks relevant in the special periods have a frequency that includes those periods. All other tasks (which you do not want to execute in the special periods) should have a frequency that only includes the standard periods.

BCS is then 'smart' enough to apply inversion for the non-special period tasks in the first new period of the year, eventhough you did (and could not) not execute them in the special periods. This means that the standard behaviour is not just that inversion is only posted in the immediatly subsequent period to the original posting. Rather, the actual (and more refined) rule is that inversion is only posted in the immediatly subsequent period in which the original task appears.

Is the fiscal year variant for 12 periods plus 4 special periods? If so, the documents should be inversed in period one regardless of whether or not the special periods are used.

If periods 13-16 are not used they should be removed from cons frequency and period categories.

FY Variant is set to 12 + 1 special period. So you think if I set the Periodicity to 13 period my period 12 posting will be invert in period 1 ? I will do the change and transport it into QA to do some test.

Thanks and best regards,

Mathieu

Have you tried changing the period category to exclude the special period 13? That sounds like the answer, if that would be acceptable.

This may be something to search in SAP Notes if you haven't yet done so.

The solution will be to exclude the period 13. The business don't need it after all. But still, I think that should be something that must have been survived from the old EC-CS version. However there's couple of other solution that somebody else suggested to me like having the period 13 in another period category/frequency and only for some task that are needed. The other task should be in a period category/frequency qith only 12 period.

Anyway, thanks for your help Dan.

Best regards,

Hi Mathieu,

Maybe, you'll make inversion in period 13, then elimations (or whatever documents you want to invert) again in 13. Then the same in 14 through 16?
