[Former Member]

Hi All,

My client has gone sap golive on september 2000, he followed Jan - Dec Fiscal year for 2 years. After that he has changed to April to March, by following shortended fiscal year for 3 months, Due to that we r in forward fiscal year. i.e our current Fiscal year as per SAP is 2010.

Hi

There is no problem in using the same fiscal year for two comapny codes if the two company codes following the same accounting period. For Shortend fiscal year variant change you have to take care and relevant steps and notes as below :

1) Creation of a new Fiscal Year Variant. Here we can copy a SAP provided Standard Variant to make the new one.

2) New variant to be made Year Dependent. Year dependent status to be extended for required numbers of past and future years to create the number of periods in terms of month.

3) The new Fiscal Year Variant to be shortened on the basis of number of periods under consideration.

4) New Fiscal Year Variant to be assigned to all Co Codes involved (OB37).

5) Change of Fiscal Year Variant in Controlling Area (OKKP).

6) Fiscal Year to be shortened for Depreciation Areas in Asset Accounting customization (OAYP).

7) Table T093C to be viewed to check whether the field XRUMPF (Shortened Fiscal Year) has been activated with u201CXu201D. If the field is found to be blank then we need to refer to SAP Note 123026 and then execute program ZRUMPF. That will activate XRUMPF in T093C.

😎 Recalculate Depreciation to be executed (AFAR). This will adjust the planned depreciation according to the number of periods in the shortened fiscal year.

9) After checking the recalculated depreciation, Depreciation run (AFAB) and other closing activities to be performed as per normal procedure

[Relevant SAP Notes:|http://sap-f2.blogspot.com/2009/05/sap-fiscal-year-variant-change.html]

SAP Note 123026 to be applied for activation of field XRUMPF (Shortened Fiscal Year) in Table T093C. Some of the related notes are 672255, 506622, 484048, 183546, 26891 etc. SAP Note 373894 is a very important master note.
