Summary :
In response to corporate actions such as mergers or acquisitions, SAP offers guidance on adjusting fiscal years and periods within its systems, impacting numerous modules like FI, MM, and SD. Adjustments may include setting up shortened or prolonged fiscal years, or altering periods based on specific rules like 4-4-5. Risks from improper modifications can lead to data inconsistency or system outages. SAP's System Landscape Optimization (SLO) team provides analysis and support for these changes to ensure prerequisites are met and to assist in implementing these adjustments safely and effectively. Dedicated consulting services are available for tailored needs, described in downloadable content.
