Often when creating reports we’re asked to show the current year vs. last year or select the current fiscal year or period as a date range for values returned. Sometimes dates can be hard-coded, especially when the fiscal year is the calendar year. But some reports can be made more dynamic by using the fiscal periods set up in Dynamics GP. It can also help simply to see what is set up in GP at times, so that you know how to best structure the report. Below are two queries that can help with this.
All fiscal years:
SELECT YEAR1 [Year], FSTFSCDY First_Day, LSTFSCDY Last_Day, NUMOFPER Number_of_Periods, CASE HISTORYR WHEN 0 THEN 'Open Year' WHEN 1 THEN 'Historical Year' END Year_Status FROM SY40101 ORDER BY YEAR1
Sample results:
Fiscal periods for the current year:
SELECT
D.PERIODID Period_Number,
D.PERNAME Period_Name,
D.PERIODDT Starting_Date,
D.PERDENDT Ending_Date,
D.YEAR1 Fiscal_Year
FROM SY40100 D
INNER JOIN
SY40101 H
ON H.YEAR1 = D.YEAR1
WHERE
D.FORIGIN = 1 AND D.PERIODID <> 0
and GETDATE() between H.FSTFSCDY and H.LSTFSCDY
ORDER BY D.PERIODID
You can change the line in blue above if you need to see a different year. Sample results:

Hello Victoria,
I’ve been busting my head trying to figure out how to join the fiscal year and periods query to the SQL view for Payables GL distributions, so that I can show the calendar year and the calendar month of the payables. All my researching efforts always end up in this particular post. Can you enlighten me please?
Thank you,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Why can’t you just use the Document Date or the GL Posting Date of the Payables transactions? That should give you the calendar month and year.

Victoria,
Sorry to ask, but you mention above you can change the line in blue to see a different year. What is the code for a different year?

Mark,
If you want to specify the year, you could use the following:
and D.YEAR1 = 2010-Victoria

Hello Victoria,
How would one join the Fiscal Year or Period query to the SalesTransactions view in order to get sales by Fiscal Period?
The end result is a report in SSRS.

Here is an example using the SUBTOTAL from SOP30200 for the sales. That may not be the field you actually use, I am just showing how it can be done using the exact code from this blog post:
