Summary :
SAP Note addresses issues in balance carryforward errors in classic and new general ledgers (G/L), and Special Purpose Ledgers via transactions FAGLGVTR and GVTR. Common issues include incorrect balance carryforwards when accounts are actively posted during carryforward runs, or when balance carryforward runs are restricted to specific accounts, leading to inaccurate subsequent year balances. Problems may also arise from changes to G/L account master data after carryforward runs, notably toggling between P&L and balance sheet account types which the system does not automatically adjust. Solutions include ensuring no concurrent postings during carryforward operations, and repeating carryforward runs for all company code accounts up to the current fiscal year as needed. Additionally, the note mentions legal posting requirements specific to Italy, Slovakia, and Turkey, requiring actual postings instead of mere balance transfers.
