Help Document
Diagnosis
You want to run the period initialization program. Note that when you start the period closing with initialization, inconsistencies can arise.
Procedure
Note 487381 describes the possible data inconsistencies that can occur if you perform initialization in a productive system. The inconsistencies cannot be traced back to a system error, but instead the period closing with initialization. Therefore, these inconsistencies can only be cleared by using the chargeable remote consulting service. This is because in releases higher than 4.5, the period closer does not normally have to be started with initialization.
