SAP Note 421493 - Unexplainable period values after settlement reversal

Component : Period-end Closing - Investment Orders

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/421493 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note discusses discrepancies in the balance of debits and credits displayed in the reporting of settled CO objects (orders, WBS elements, etc.) when viewing individual periods. The inconsistencies arise when complete settlements show non-zero balances and fully reversed settlements display incorrect values from expected debits. This usually occurs when a settlement reversal is posted in a different period from the original settlement (period-external). The solution suggested involves avoiding settlement reversals in alternative periods to ensure reporting consistency and data integrity, reflective of true posting dates and periods.
