Define Fiscal Year Variant: In day to day life, we are following the year starting from
January to December. This is called calendar year. But while maintaining financial records,
some business organizations, maintain records from April to March, some January to
December or some in other way. The period from which the financial records are
maintained is called Fiscal year. Hence we need to define Fiscal year as per the need of
our business organization.

FISCAL YEAR IS R3
Assign fiscal year variant to the company code: For every company code, you
must specify which fiscal year variant is to be used.

Assign fiscal year variant R3 to the company code RM99

Define posting period Variant: This controls which posting periods (normal and
special) are applicable for each company code. It is possible to have a different posting
period variant for each company code. The posting period variant is independent of the
fiscal year variant.

Posting period Variant: RMVT, posting period variant for RM99

Open and close posting periods: in this activity you specify for each variant
which posting periods are open for posting. Two intervals are available for doing this
(period 1 and period 2). For every interval, enter a lower period limit, an upper period
limit and the fiscal year. You close periods by selecting the period specifications so
that the periods to be closed are no longer contained.

variant must have assign to company code because we create fiscal year company
code.

variants. You must then assign a field status variant to each FM area. You can use a
field status variant for as many FM areas as you wish. By assigning field status
variants and field status groups to field selection strings, you can achieve detailed
control over document entry in your FM areas for the individual business transactions.
The field selection string determines which fields will accept input when you enter
documents, which are required entries, and which are hidden.

Copy the Standard Field status variant 0001and change as to field

status variant RMVT. Copy to all.
Assign field status variant to the company code: In this activity, you assign
the company codes in which you want to use identical field status groups, to the same
field status variant.

specify which chart of accounts we are going to use for our company. Since
there are already a huge number of pre-defi ned chart of accounts, we can
either choose from those, or assign one that we have custom- created only
one chart of accounts can be assigned to one company.
Company code: RM99
