Fiscal Year Variant and Non-Leading Ledger for Mexico

[Former Member]

Hi

Our parent (Group) Company is in India and have our branch company in US. We are working on the Roll Out project for Mexico Country. Version being used is ECC 6.0 and new GL functionality activated. We also have a leading ledger 0L (for India) and non-leading Ledger 1L meant for US GAP. Fiscal Year variant used both for India and US is V3 (April-March). Controlling area for both India and US Company is the same.

Now my requirement is for the Mexico company code local reporting requirement period as Jan-Dec. Can I use the variant K4 for mexico company code ? At the same time I want to maintain the single controlling area for India, US and Mexico. How to go about it ? Do I need to create a new non-leading ledger exclusively for Mexico ? Also, how do I assign a different Fiscal Year Variant for Mexico?

Thanks

hi,

this is maruthi kumar. i can give some solution for it.

1. if the company code and chart of accounts are different for mexico company. then we can create new fiscal year variant for our chart of account. and assign to company code.

2.if there is any group company code for your project then assign that group company code to controlling area, through (same as company code) icon in TC-OKKP.By this you can use controlling area for india, US, mexico version.

Hi Gemini,

the following are the steps u need to do:

1. create a company code for ur mexico and assign fiscal year variant V3, then u can assign the same controlling area for ur mexico company code.

2. Now create a non leading ledger for mexico company code.

3. Assign fiscal year variant K4 to that.

This is the procedure, hope u understood.

Thank you for your replies. I have one more query. Can we maintain an additional currency other than Company Code Currency and Group Currency in the Non-Leading Ledger.

Hi,

You can give additional currency to your non leading ledger apart from company code currency. But u need to define it before assigning the same.

But it will accept only Group Currency apart from company code currency for non-leading ledger. It is not accepting any other 3rd currency.

Any further inputs will be of help.

Hi,

I would like to know, how will we assign Fiscal year variant to a non leading ledger?

HI,

the same controlling area can be used because controlling area only manages values of the leading ledger 0L (ledger solution in NEW GL). Adding a "local" ledger with different fiscal year variant requires own FI number ranges for the GL-view (T-Code FAGL_DOCNR).

Hi,

Yes you will have to create the new non leading ledger for Mexico, assign the K4 fiscal yr variant and the same posting period variant created for INDIA (or else you can create the new posting period variant and assign it accordingly) and at the same time you can use the same controlling area.
