Background Job Posting Period Variable

[former_member730757]

Hi All,

I need help with below issue.

I need to create a background job for Program FAGL_RKGALGA15 -GL allocations. This job should use previous period when executing. I want to know how to create a variable to dynamically select previous period in the variant.

Thanks in Advance

Dear Kunal,

There are several questions similar to yours in the community. But to help you in summary, there is two ways to go.

1) Using TVARVC - to that please check the following: 1994216 - How to maintain variant variables in table TVARVC

Pros: It´s standard, not development needed.

Cons: You will have to update the TVARVC, usually you will fill out for several periods/year... but in the future you will have to update again.

2) Customer Program(Z) - you can create a Z program to call your programa, you can use date Type Variant 😧 Dynamic Date Calculation (Local Date) or X: Dynamic Date Calculation (System Date) as selection field and convert it to period year which is the paramenters of your program.

Pros: it will dynamically, no future maintenance needed.

Cons: you will need to develop a Z program for that.

BR,
