Use

In this Customizing activity, you maintain the balance carryforward for FX position accounts and equivalent value accounts.

The MCA balance carryforward enables an automatic year-end closing function that closes the position/equivalent accounts and posts the resulting balance to specified target carryforward accounts. This MCA process corresponds to the year-end closing process for P&L accounts in standard FI . This process is applied when position/equivalent accounts are required to have a zero balance at the beginning of the new fiscal year.

Requirements

You have defined a chart of accounts using Customizing activity Edit Chart of Accounts List (transaction OB13).

You have defined a MCA position type in the Customizing activity Define MCA Position Types.

You have maintained the position accounts and equivalent accounts for your MCA position type in Customizing activity Maintain FX Position Accounts and Equivalent Accounts.

If necessary, you can store different position accounts for each currency. You do not use equivalent value accounts in this posting scheme.

MCA posting scheme: 4-pack
In this posting scheme, you must store a position account and an individual equivalent value account for each currency. If necessary, you can store different position accounts for each currency. You cannot use the same equivalent value account for different currencies.
