SAPFGLBCF - Balance Carryforward
CPI1466 during Backup PERFORM Short ReferenceThis documentation is copyright by SAP AG.
Description
You use this program to carry forward balances to the new fiscal year for a specific ledger in General Ledger Accounting.
You can run the program as often as you wish. However, given that the system automatically corrects the balance carryforward in the case of subsequent postings to the previous year, it is generally not necessary to repeat the balance carryforward.
Requirements
For you to be able to run the balance carryforward, the following prerequisites must be met:
- For balance sheet accounts, you have marked as balance sheet accounts all relevant accounts in the G/L account master data in the chart of accounts. You make this setting in the Customizing activity Edit G/L Account Centrally.
- You have made the following settings for P&L statement accounts:
- In the master record of each P&L statement account, you have specified a P&L statement account type.
- You have specified the retained earnings accounts in Customizing. You make this setting in the Customizing activity Define Retained Earnings Account. If you would like to use a different key instead of the standard key X, you additionally specify this key and the P&L statement account. In the G/L account master record, you have entered this key in the P&L Statement Account Type field.
- Note: Most companies use only one retained earnings account. However, by using the P&L statement account type, you can use more than one retained earnings account. This could be useful for international corporations, for example, that have to meet various requirements when producing their P&L statement.
- If you would like to perform a balance carryforward with account assignments, you need to have entered these additional account assignments in the Customizing activity Enter Details for P&L Accounts.
Features
With the standard settings, the program performs balance carryforward as follows:
- Balance sheet accounts are carried forward to themselves with all of the additional account assignments.
- P&L statement accounts (profit and loss accounts) are carried forward to one or more retained earnings accounts. For this, the program does not copy any additional account assignments. It automatically converts amounts in transaction currencies into totals in the local currency and sets the balance of the P&L statement accounts to zero. You can specify the level of summarization in the Customizing activity Enter Details for P&L Accounts.
The program creates line items for each G/L account and account assignment.
If you perform the balance carryforward very early on in the closing process and then proceed to make a very large number of postings to the previous year, the system automatically creates a similarly large number of line items to correct the balance carryforward. To reduce the large number of line items in this case, you can perform a repeat run of the balance carryforward program and by doing so reset the balance carryforward. For this, select the Reset Balance Carryforward check box.
After balance carryforward, you can display results lists for the balance sheet accounts and retained earnings accounts for which the balances were carried forward. For the program run, select the Results List checkbox. You can also specify that the program saves the results list under a name that you have entered. To display the results list at a later point in time, enter the ledger, company code, and fiscal year for which you have performed the balance carryforward. Then choose the Results Lists pushbutton.
