Use

In this IMG activity, you can generate for new General Ledger Accounting an opening balance (balance carryforward period) for the current fiscal year by transferring the balance carryforward from an existing ledger into a ledger in new General Ledger Accounting. The balance forward can be transferred from the following ledgers:

  • Ledgers in classic General Ledger Accounting 0
  • Parallel currency ledgers in classic General Ledger Accounting
  • Cost-of-sales ledgers 0F
  • Profit center ledgers 8A
  • User-defined FI-SL ledgers

Activities

Enter the following:

  • The source ledger (existing ledger)
  • The fiscal year
  • The target ledger
  • The currency types that you want to transfer.

You can restrict the selection to particular company codes and accounts or account intervals. The program then finds the suitable currency types in the target ledger and transfers the corresponding values to the balance carryforward period.

If you want to correct the balance carryforward once you have performed the transfer, you must first reset the balance carryforward period in the target ledger. To do this, choose Reset Balance Carryforward in Customizing.

Notes:

  • The system only transfers accounts that are not managed on an open item basis and that are not reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Such accounts are transferred using a separate IMG activity (see Open Items from Past Fiscal Years --> Create General Ledger Line Items and Balance Carryforward) .
  • If you execute the program more than once, the values of the balance carryforward period are added together. The system issues a warning message in this case.
    You can execute the program more than once to transfer different currency types from different source ledgers to the same ledger in General Ledger Accounting (successively in two or more program runs). You can therefore transfer, for example, the local currency and the group currency from ledger 0 in classic General Ledger Accounting, and then the hard currency from a parallel currency ledger in classic General Ledger Accounting.
  • The fields of the source ledger are transferred to the fields of the target ledger on the basis of name equality. Some known name inequalities are corrected in this process, such as BUKRS and RBUKRS (company code) or PRCTR and RPRCTR (profit center). If, however, you want to transfer a customer field to a customer field in a ledger (such as the field RZZAUFNR for the order number to the customer field ZZAUFNR of the FI-SL target ledger in new General Ledger Accounting), you must implement the BAdI FAGL_UPLOAD_CF, in which you assign these fields to each other.
