  Navigate to the Consolidation Unit Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code OB37 (or navigate through the menu: Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Records > G/L Accounts > Edit G/L Account Centrally).
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code OBY6 to directly access the fiscal year variant settings.
  
  
  
  Find the Consolidation Unit:

  Assign the Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  In the configuration settings for the consolidation unit, look for the field where the fiscal year variant can be assigned.
  Select the appropriate fiscal year variant from the dropdown list or enter it manually.
