SAPF180A - Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment
ABAP Short Reference General Material DataThis documentation is copyright by SAP AG.
Description
A
- receivables and payables in customer and vendor reconciliation accounts,
- tax postings,
- cash discount postings from the net method of posting vendor invoices as well as
- valuated exchange rate differences in open items (this is a P&L item, but since receivables or payables increase or decrease depending on the valuation, a readjustment is also made for the exchange rate difference with a reverse +/- sign).
This process ensures the zero balance per business area necessary for creating business area balance sheets.
It consists of the following steps:
- When posting a document, the system analyzes it to determine whether a balance sheet readjustment is necessary. If a readjustment is required, the system marks the document for readjustment.
- Readjustments are calculated for the marked documents and stored in special tables.
This subfunction is described below.
- The calculated readjustments are read and then distributed and posted in total to the appropriate accounts.
Fields Included in Readjustment
Readjustments are made for business areas if the function for business area balance sheets is activated in the company code in question. Readjustments are also made for trading partner business areas if the function for business area consolidation is activated.
If Profit Center Accounting is activated in the controlling area allocated to the company code, readjustments are made for profit centers as well as trading partner profit centers.
Note
The fields included in readjustment are determined when the original document is posted. Thus, the customizing settings for business areas and profit centers must be made prior to posting the first document. If these settings were not made, you can still mark posted documents for balance sheet readjustment by executing the subfunction for setting up the balance sheet readjustment (see below).
Basis for Distribution
The system uses the account assignments of the offsetting entries in the initial document to calculate the distribution. Offsetting entries are all G/L account items apart from tax items and cash discount items.
Readjustment is made only for those account assignments which were not specified during posting (their value is blank). If a value is entered in an account assignment field during posting, it is regarded as a correct entry and not changed by the readjustment.
Carrying Out the Distribution
Readjustments are transfer postings which create one or more account assignments (not blank) for the unspecified account assignments in original documents.
Scheduling the Program Run
You can run this program as often as you like.
Requirements
Account Determination
For each account, you can specify an adjustment account to post the readjustment to. Otherwise, the system posts the readjustment to the original account.
To distinguish readjustment postings from other postings, you should create separate adjustment accounts and have the readjustments posted to them.
Since reconciliation accounts cannot be posted to directly, you have to specify adjustment accounts for them.
Since readjustments are posted without tax, the accounts posted to cannot be relevant to tax.
Adjustment accounts are determined when calculating the distribution.
For more information on automatic postings, see the Implementation Guide.
Proceed
Output
The log shows how many documents per company code the system calculated distributions for.
Note:
If valuation differences are noted in documents, the system always includes
them in the calculation. When updating the allocation tables, it checks for whether or not calculations already exist for these documents.
If account determination is incomplete or maintained incorrectly, the system does not calculate any distributions for the affected documents. It lists both the queried entries and the affected documents.
To view the readjustment calculated for an individual document in Document Display, choose Environment -> B/S readjustment.
Additional Information
See the documentation for the other subfunctions:
- Posting the distribution.
Proceed
- Displaying the logs of existing posting runs.
Proceed
- Reversing an incorrect posting run.
Proceed
- Redetermining the adjustment accounts if you changed the account determination or it was incomplete at the time of calculation.
Proceed
