Retained Earnings- Translation

Hi guys,
I'm not quite sure how to solve this, so maybe you can help me.
For Retained Earnings, there's a rule in the HFM app to calculate it. The problem is that when I tried to translate RE to the Historical Rate, it gets overrided by the Calculation (since the Calc routine runs after the Translation).
How do you usually translate Retained Earnings? Can you give me some examples?
Thanks!
Jai

Hi there,
I would expect to have an application manual with instructions on how to use these accounts. Do you have anything?
I ask because there are multiple ways to calculate the RE and it is a combination of metadata and rules.
Cheers,
Thanos

  • CTA on retained earnings

    Hi
    I am on BPC 5.1 SP5 (will upgrade to SP09p1 next week)
    Need a little verification on a solution to a problem with Currency Translation Adjustments on Retained Earnings.
    Currency translation for the P&L is periodic AVG, this require the calculation of CTA for retained earnings should be:
    (LC (jan) * (END (Current period)-AVG (jan))) + (LC (feb) * (END (Current period)-AVG (feb))) + (LC (mar) * (END (Current period)-AVG (mar))) u2026.
    Creating a CTA "Currency conversion rule" to calculate this is a bit complex. So her is what I have tried.
    1. creating a currency conversion rule [END]-[AVG] and check "Apply to periodic". This is the solution I had hoped would work, but it dosn't ;o(
    The two solutions I have found the returns the correct result are:
    The First solution: Create a currency conversion rule to calculate the [END] value and then have a logic calculate the -[AVG] and post both to the same Flow member.
    Draw back: This requires running both currency conversion and a logic to get the correct numbers.
    Another solution is to create to Flow members one to hold the -[AVG] with apply to periodic and one to hold [END], then create a Parent member for both.
    Draw back: This require 3 Flow members to calculate CTA
    What is the recommended way of solving this issue? It must a known issue in BPC for many!
    Jesper

    Hi
    The currency conversion with [END]-[AVG] works, but it does not return the correct figurs. Believe this only works for YTD conversion of the P&L.
    An example on how the calculation should be for March is:
    LC for January * (END for March - AVG for January) + LC for February * (END for March - AVG for February) + LC for March * (END for March - AVG for March)
    Have also tried with multiple rules, but if you have more than one currency conversion rule with the same destination the first is overwritten!

  • The table name for the system generated transactions (Retained Earnings).

    Hi Gurus,

    When I open a new year Oracle will do internal process transfer R&L balance to Retained Earnings account and make income & expenses accounts to Zero.
    I want to know the system generated entries which table they are stored, this transaction is not in Gl_Balances table.
    Its an urgent plz reply back soon.
    Thanks in advance
    Barkat

    Hello.
    For EBS 11.5.10.2
    Let’s suppose that the last period of you fiscal year is called ‘LAST-2008’ (not adjusting period). If you have an account with a debtor balance of 100 in this period, when you open the following fiscal year you will find an entry of 100 in the first adjustment period of the fiscal year that the ‘LAST-2008’ period belongs to, in the column BEGIN_BALANCE_DR.
    It is clear that if the balance is creditor you will find it in the BEGIN_BALANCE_CR column.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the using of retained earnings account

    HI
    In the above , please reply the answer as early as possible
    with regards
    srinivas

    this question is poste in wronf foroum it sould be in FI not in MM
    from www.investopedia.com
    retained earnings account
    The percentage of net earnings not paid out as dividends, but retained by the company to be reinvested in its core business or to pay debt. It is recorded under shareholders' equity on the balance sheet.
    The formula calculates retained earnings by adding net income to (or subtracting any net losses from) beginning retained earnings and subtracting any dividends paid to shareholders:
    Also known as the "retention ratio" or "retained surplus".
    In most cases, companies retain their earnings in order to invest them into areas where the company can create growth opportunities, such as buying new machinery or spending the money on more research and development.
    Should a net loss be greater than beginning retained earnings, retained earnings can become negative, creating a deficit.
    The retained earnings general ledger account is adjusted every time a journal entry is made to an income or expense account.
    hope this helps

  • PCA Balance Carry Forward - Retained Earnings

    In PCA, balance carryforward does 1. Zero's out balances in accounts with transaction types & books the net of each account to the beginning balance Transaction Type.
    2. Zero's out all P&L accounts and records earnings to retained earnings account for each profit center except that it books retained earnings without Transaction Type and without Partner Profit Center. It does not do for any of the other items.
    Can someone please expain why it is behaving like that? or is there a solution to get transaction type and Partner profit center populated with retained earnings account.

    Hi Nandini,
    We also have the same problem
    Can you please guide us to resolve the issue

  • Retained Earnings

    Dear Sap gurus,
    Please clarify the following:
    1)  If all P & L a/cs. are transferred to Retained Earnings a/c. as configured, then we could finalise the B/s.  Can we do this closing process, periodically say 'Monthly' to analyse Monthly Balance Sheet.  If this process is done only at the year end i.e. transferring balances to Retained Earnings a/c. then how can we analyse monthly upto the period balance sheet? 
    2) If Tax depreciation area (15) posts difference of depreciation affecting P & L, then how this will be processed without effecting ADP A/c.  Will it be a charge in P & L a/c affecting our Profits? Book Depreciation area (01) is understood well.
    3) A Vendor document (Invoice) is entered in GBP, then the open item shows balance in Local currency say., USD.  If the Vendor wants to pay him through GBP is it possible in SAP to pay so in Automatic Payment Process.
    4) If Asset Revaluation would be posted in APC then where the second offsetting entry (CR.) would go whether to Revaluation Reserve, or Special Reserve?  If none of these, will it affect ADP A/c. (accumulated depreciation a/c)?  Can anyone explain this process.

    Hi
    Answer for your fist question is You cannot update your retained earnings account every month when you run f07 and f.16 at the end of the year then only it will update the retained earnings.  You can run monthly balance sheet it will display profit/loss evry month.

  • Retained earnings account

    Hi,
    Can we maintain retained earnings accounts as open item management account?
    our client has changed the status to Open item management account recently, due to this reason he is unable to do year ending carryforward through F.16. They are getting  error analsys that change the status to without open item management.
    treat this issue on priority ...
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prasad

    Hello Prasad,
    Retained earnings account is balance sheet account. At the closing of fiscal year, we need to carry forward balances of P&L accounts to retained earnings account. We have to create Retained earnings account at IMG level. Profit or Loss is carried forward to this account at the end of the year. Normally, companies use one retained earnings account. For this reason, X can be used as the key. In the chart of accounts you enter X in the P+L statement account type field.
    Have you done any time year end closing functionally?
    What we will be doing is drawing the "P & L account" transferring all balances in Rev & Exp to "P & L acc".
    This P & L account in SAP is widely called as retained earnings account. At the end of the period, all your Rev & Exp are posted to this account which is a Balance sheet Item. This you are identifying as Retained earnings account type X and assigning a GL account. When you create this as a GL account system understands that this is Retained earnings account.
    Profits of the organization are always Liability. Losses are Assets. As profits form part of "share holders funds".
    You assign this retained earnings account in your financial statement version in such a way if the balance is credit in the liability side and if the balance id Dr then asset side
    Thanks

    If you are using ECC use T. code FAGLGVTR - Balance Carryforward (New)
    F.07 - Balance Carryforward for Vendor/customers
    then only it shows the correct picture.
    when FBL5N is line item report it is no way relavent to balance carry.
    this may solve your problem

  • Default Profit Center for Retained Earnings Account

    Hi,
    We wish to default a profit center for our retained earnings account. Currently, the system carries forward P/L balance to Retained Earnings Account Profit Center wise.
    Kindly advise on how we can default a particular PC for retained earnings account. Also in case it is possble, does the system balance the PC wise trial balance by changing balances in Inter PC Balancing account (Zero Balance Clearing)?
    Thanks!

    Dear,
    You can default through 3KEH in classic GL and through FAGL3KEH in New GL

  • P&L acc should not hit retained  earnings account upon exe Bal Carry Forwar

    Hi Friends,
    As per business requirement I created two Depreciation expense accounts, only Book Dep account should hit retained earnings whereas other special dep account should not hit. Since both accounts are P&L  they are picking upon executing Balance carry forwad.
              Special Dep area is created to depreciate the complete asset in the year of purchase to help the org to allocate it to different Cost centers for funding request. As such these special dep accounts are out of scope for FSV so there is no impact on Bal Sheet,however upon exec FAGLGVTR  full dep posted on these accounts are carried forward to next year along with true dep.
    Please provide any suggestions that help to avoid some of the PL acc carry forard to retained earnings account. I am thinking of creating separate chart of account for these accounts but this consume lot of time for testing all the scenarios.
    Thanks in advance.
    Venkat

    Hi Madhu,
    Here is the scenario.
    APC of all acquisitions are allocated, in the year of acquisition, among several cost centers using statistical key figure (Work hours). To satisfy this requirement, a second depreciation area (Special) will be created. In the second depreciation area, all assets (regardless of asset class) will be depreciated fully in the year (month) of acquisition u2013 (the same depreciation key as low value asset). The value in the second depreciation area will flow to controlling.
    This full depreciation is not even consider in financial reporting as the number range of these dep exp accounts are out of range in FSV. The main purpose is to allocate full depreciation among CC in advance for funding request.
    Thank you,
    With Regards,
    Venkat

  • Year wise GL account retained earnings

    Hi Friends,
    My client has ECC5 version.  This is 2nd year of closing (march 09).   Now he wants 2008 year profit to be posted to Retained Earnings 2008 GL account.Like wise he is asking me to maintain year wise retained accounts.
    Last year ie 2007, in OB53, assigned 2007 retained earnings.  Now they have created 2008 retained earnings gl and they are asking me to assign in OB53.  They are expecting that when they do carry forward / year end process, 2008 year profit will go to 2008 retained earnings account.
    I am doubt that will it happen like that?  If i change as them and do, what will be the consequences?
    I never come accross these situation... Please help me.

  • Retained Earnings Account balance

    Hi,
    We have a situation where the the Retained Earnings account in FS10n and FBL3n are different whereby i agree that since there is no posting for the carried forward Profit and loss there will be no entry passed. is this usual if so i can i analyse the the retained earnings account. please clarify
    Beat Regards,
    Roville

    balance in retained earnings account means carryforward net balance of P&L gl accounts from last year.
    Ex. You are carryforward all the balances from the year 2008 to Year 2009.  All the P&L account balances of 2008 will be transferred to Retained earnings account.  and all the Balance sheet gl balances will be transferred as-it-is to same gl account.
    You can analyse the Retained earnings account balances or line items in table level.
