Summary :
When the opening balance of an account for a new fiscal year does not match the previous year's closing balance, particularly in a retained earnings account, an important check within SAP involves the balance carryforward process defined in Transaction OB53. The transformation of P+L outcomes to the retained earnings account on the balance sheet does not generate transactional documents, and therefore, cannot be tracked through the line item display; this may result in apparent discrepancies. To address this, users should verify they are examining a retained earnings account, potentially triggering differences due to non-document carrying of balances. A deeper analysis can be performed by activating specific settings in the balance carryforward program SAPFGVTR from Release 4.6C onwards, enabling a detailed view of the individual P+L accounts affecting retained earnings balances.
Key words :
individual balances retained earnings account, retained earnings account consists, balance carryforward program sapfgvtr, previous year + retained earnings, retained earnings account, opening balance = closing balance, unappropriated retained earnings, retained earnings accounts, line item display, repeated balance carryforward
