Hi, I dont feel that there is a necessity to enter your fiscal year variant separately. System should be converting this for you. So you just enter the report parameters while executing. Also , take a look at FGI0 reports in 002 node which might be useful. Aravind

Dear Odaiah Pelley, Here the infirmation about Ledgers of FICO and also settings of ledgers. In General Ledger Accounting , you can use several Ledgers in parallel. This allows you to produce financial statements according to different accounting principles. A ledger uses several dimensions from the totals table it is based upon. When defining Ledgers , one must be defined as the Leading Ledger . The Leading Ledger is based on the same accounting principles as that of the consolidated financial statements. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is automatically assigned to all company codes. In each company code, the Leading Ledger receives exactly the same settings that apply to that company code : the currencies, the fiscal year variant and posting period variant . You must designate one of your ledgers as the Leading Ledger. It is not possible to designate more than one ledger as the leading ledger. The menu path is : SAP Customizing IMG ----> Financial Accounting ( New ) ------> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) ------> Ledgers -----> Ledger ------> Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting Clicking on the checkbox identifies one of your ledgers as the Leading Ledger. Activation of Non Leading Ledgers Non Leading Ledgers are parallel ledgers to the Leading Ledger . They can be based on local accounting principle, for example. You have to activate a non- Leading Ledger for individual company codes. Non- Leading Ledgers can have different fiscal year variants and posting period variants per company code to the Leading Ledger of this company code.

The menu path is : SAP Customizing IMG ----> Financial Accounting ( New ) ------> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) ------> Ledgers -----> Ledger ------> Define and Activate Non Leading Ledgers In New G/L which is part of ECC5.0 and ECC6.0 you will find the concept of Leading & FY variant Leading Ledger Manages addl. Currencies. SAP provides Leading Ledger 0L and it is supported by standard table FAGLFLEXT which comes with the standard version of SAP ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0Non Leading Ledger. Assume you are creating two company code one in India and other one in USA. Following data is given below to support the discussions about Leading Ledger and Non Lading Ledger. The XYZ Co is head quartered at Delhi and its branch is there in USA. Indian Co. :XYZ,India Currency: INR FY: Apr to March USA Company:XYZ,USA Currency: USD FY: Jan to Dec Requirement: 1.Your client require a consolidation of accounts in INR for XYZ group. 2. The Us company i.e. XYZ ,USA require to file the accounts with the legal authority which is required to be prepared for a period Jan to Dec with currency as USD. Your 1st requirement will be fulfilled by Leading ledger which is a standard ledger defined by SAP at client level and applicable to all the company code under that client. Your 2nd requirement will be complied by using Non leading ledger which you can define at company code level with alternate FY variant like in this case Jan to Dec. Some Additional properties about Leading and Non Leading Ledger are given below. & In addition to Leading Ledger we can define Non Leading ledger. Non Leading Ledger can be assigned alternate currencies/Fiscal Year variant which differs from Leading Ledger. Leading ledger is only one . Data in leading ledger only flows to Controlling posting period variant assigned to Co Code is used by Leading ledger. [b]Making Settings for Ledgers[/b] Use In General Ledger Accounting, you can use several parallel general ledgers. You do this to produce financial statements according to different accounting principles, for example. You create a ledger for each of the general ledgers you need.
