• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0435 - You can only assign FY variants with 12 normal periods to cons. version ?

  The SAP error message G0435 indicates that there is an issue with the fiscal year variant (FY variant) being assigned to a consolidated version in the system. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to assign a fiscal year variant that does not have 12 normal periods to a consolidation version.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the fiscal year variant you are trying to use for the consolidation version does not meet the requirement of having 12 normal periods. In SAP, fiscal year variants can be configured in different ways, including:
  
  12 normal periods (standard fiscal year)
  4 quarters (quarterly fiscal year)
  13 periods (13-month accounting)
  Other configurations that may not align with the requirement for consolidation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 to view the fiscal year variants.
  Verify the configuration of the fiscal year variant you are trying to assign. Ensure that it has 12 normal periods.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify a Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  If the fiscal year variant does not have 12 normal periods, you can either:
  
  Create a new fiscal year variant that has 12 normal periods.
  Modify an existing fiscal year variant to ensure it has the required configuration.
  
  
  To create a new fiscal year variant, you can use the same transaction code OB29.
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  Once you have a fiscal year variant with 12 normal periods, go to the relevant configuration for the consolidation version and assign the correct fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer appears when you attempt to assign the fiscal year variant to the consolidation version.
