Period indicator with Fiscal Year Variant in MRP3

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

I donu2019t know the use of Period indicator with Fiscal Year Variant in MRP3 view.

For some material is maintain as

1. Period indicator u201CMu201D & Fiscal Year Variant as blank.

& for other materials it is maintain as

2. Period indicator u201CPu201D & Fiscal Year Variant as V3

What is the meaning of maintaining those different values ?

as per my understanding I only know that as per those indicator consumption data is store in table MVER.

Is there any other table / data gets affected due to this indicator.

Plz help.

Best Regards,

If you set monthly (M), then in one year, there will be 12 months for your accounting period or financial transaction. If you set october 2007 as current efault period indicator, then your posting period is range from 1 October untill last day of October 2007. If you need to post the document that the dates are in November 2007, you could not do that except you have tick allow future posting in the document setting.

In MARC table, field PERKC is for Period indicator and it gets changed or updated...

But again my question remain the same.

Why do we need to maintain two different indicator for different type of material (For eg. For finish goods & for Raw materials)

Hi,

Nomally, period of 12 months, for which the company produces financial statements or analyse inventory.Under certain circumstances, fiscal years containing fewer than 12 months are also permitted (short fiscal year

When defining your fiscal year, you have the following options:

Your fiscal year is the calendar year

In this case, you must only select the Calendar year field.

Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is not year-dependent

Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is year-dependent.

In customizing (spro), you make these setting in transaction OB29.
