6 Maintain Fiscal Year Variant

Fiscal Year nothing but the way financial data is stored in the system, SAP provide 4 Special periods including normal periods.
How many posting periods a fiscal year has, how many special periods you need, how the system is to determine the posting periods when posting.
When define your fiscal year, you have the following options.

* Your fiscal year is the calendar year in this case, you must only select the calendar year field.

* Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is not year dependent in this case, you first enter the number of your posting periods in the Number posting per.field. To define your posting periods, select your fiscal year variant and select periods on the navigation screen. On this screen, enter the month and the day of the period end and the period in each case.

* Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is year dependent
Enter the number of your posting periods in the field Number posting periods and select the field Year-Dependent. To define your posting periods, select your fiscal year variant and select periods on the navigation screen. The system asks for which calendar year your year-dependent fiscal year variant is valid. You then enter the month and day of the period end for each of your periods, and the periods themselves.

You can use the standard fiscal year variant K4 in SAP where the financial accounting year corresponds to January to December.
in case the financial accounting year is April to March, you can use the standard fiscal year variant V3 in SAP. in my case i am using standard fiscal year variant V3.
