Setup FI Fiscal Year Period

The client wants fiscal year to be set from May 1 – April 30 but they use a 4,4,5 accounting period setup meaning that every month end on the last Friday of the month. I am setting for 2006-2007.  As you know, the FYV should be year dependent, so how can the periods be set up.

In IMG go to financial accounting global setting then go to fiscal year variant and set the fiscal year variant on year dependent year and follow the following procedure:

1.  enter name of month started from may and end on april
2.  enter the number of days in a month you want to close for example in may number of days is 28 instead of 31 
3.  enter period from 01 to 12 started from may to april
4.  enter -1 against the month from jan to april

For Example :

  Month       Number of Days       Period        Year Shift
  May06          28                             01                 0
  June              35                             02                 0
  July               28                             03                 0
  Aug               28                             04                 0
  Sep               35                             05                 0
  Oct               28                             06                 0
  Nov              28                             07                 0
  Dec              35                              08                 0
  Jan07           28                              09                -1
  Feb              28                              10                -1
  Mar             35                              11                -1
  Apr              31                             12                 -1
