Symptom
Posting periods not working as expected in case scenario where different fiscal year variants are assigned to separate ledgers and only one posting period variant.
Image/data in this document is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
S/4 HANA CLOUD
Reproducing the Issue
- In App Manage Posting Periods Posting period variant selected and a fiscal Year Variant - (in case example there are 2 Fiscal Year Variants, each Fiscal Year Variant assigned to its own ledger and both assigned to one Posting Period Variant)
- Account types associated with Fiscal Year Variant K4 selected and Set Posting Periods - Open Period step carried out.
- Open/Close period changes also apply to Posting Periods associated with Alternative Fiscal Year Variant even though account types associated with same not selected.
Cause
In the Manage Posting Period App, the opening/closing is always done for the full variant and cannot distinguish between the different fiscal year variants
Resolution
An alternative fiscal year variant must have a separate posting period variant:

.....
Request the creation of a new Posting Period Variant using SAP Service Expert Configuration, since a new Posting Period Variant is needed for the assignment of an alternative FYV to a company code during solution configuration.
You will need a new posting period variant before you can configure your alternative FYV. Contact SAP to request the creation of a new posting period variant for you.
