Hello, I am getting this error while saving the FSV. My FSV is based on Weeks. Below is what I am inputting for this. Other details are Calender Year -  2017, No. of posting periods - 53, checked year dependent. Also, I have FSV for previous years also where weeks are 52 but configured as 53. So, hope that this is not creating this issue. Solicit your early response.

Hi Sudhakar,

I did check that and i do not think there are any flaws in my fiscal year variant design, i have created the number of periods i have mentioned in ob29. 

Is there anything else needs to be done in case of more than 16 periods other than ob29 and ob37?

thanks,

Hi Srinu,

Thanks for your prompt reply,

Message No. for warning message - "More than 16 Periods can only be used in the Extended General Ledger" is FGV582.

And

Message No. for Error message - "Gaps in Financial year Variant Periods TA"  is FGV556.

Hi Pallavi,

If you want to use the 53 posting periods, you have to use the Special Purpose Ledger

However, it cannot be assigned to a controlling area with 53 posting periods.

Hi Srinu,

But why Special purpose ledger? Why do we use it when we have New GL functionality.  And when there is no requirement for Non leading ledgers than why to create one.

Please advice.

thanks,

Hi Pallavi,

Even if you are activated the New GL, still we can use the special purpose ledger along with New GL,

For Non Leading Ledgers you can use the different fiscal year variant other than company code, It doesn't mean that if you activated the new gl special purpose ledger not required.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Srinu,

Thanks.  But my concern is why we need to use special purpose ledger if we are using more than 16 posting periods?  What purpose does it solve?

Please advice,

thanks
