1. Variant Principle
   

• Variant Principle: A 3 step method to assign properties to one / more objects
  
• Steps:
  • Define variant ( K4 Fiscal year variant)
    
  • Determine values for the variant defined: Variant properties
    
  • Assign variant to objects : Assign variant K4 to object company code
    

1. Fiscal Year
   

• Fiscal Year Variant:
  • Define a fiscal year with posting periods
    
  • Fiscal year contain posting periods + Special posting periods
    
  • Maximum periods = 16
    
  • System derive period for a document from the posting date
    
  • Special posting period:
    
  • Used for yearend closing transactions. Posting date falls in last period, can post in special posting period
    
  • E.g.: FY with PP = 12 and special period = 4. Transaction date falls in 12^th posting period can post in 4^th special (16^th) period.
    

• Year Independent Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  • FYV uses same number of periods each year
    
  • Posting period start and ends on the same date every year
    
  • Can be Calendar Year .Here PP = 12 months of the year
    
  • Can be non calendar year
    • Here PP # 12 months of the year. PP can be from 1 to 16.
      
    • Need to assign end date for each posting period
      
    • Need to assign indicator -/+ as required
      
    • e.g Apr to Mar. For Jan, Feb & Mar year shift of -1 as belongs to old fiscal year
      

1. Exercise: Fiscal Year

  • 1 company code pays for multiple company codes
    
  • 1 company code sells for multiple company codes
    

• One document can be posted in one company code so in cross company code transaction system post document in both company codes
  
• The documents are linked by a clearing a/c
  
• There are two or more documents linked with a common reference :
  • 1^st company code + 1^st company code document number + Fiscal Year
    

• Tax posting in cross company code transactions
