3607050 - Periods of FY variant for ledger & and leading ledger must be same - SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud

Symptom

  • The system does not allow the configuration of K4 (Fiscal Year variant =calendar year) as a fiscal year variant for Non-Leading Ledger when SZ (Apr.-Mrch 5-4-4 , 4 spec. prds) is set as a fiscal year variant in Leading Ledger 0L.
  • The error message "Periods of FY variant for ledger 2L and leading ledger must be same" is displayed.

Environment

SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud Edition

Cause

The issue is due to a system restriction in SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud. The posting period start dates and end dates of the alternative fiscal year variants must not differ from the posting period start and end dates of the common fiscal year variant assigned to the leading ledger.
