Hi,
The accounts in the list must now be examined.The following procedure is recommended by SAP: (you can change the sequence).
a) Compare the last two fiscal years for the affected account with the balances display (FS10) in G/L accounting.If the closing balance and the opening balance are different, the balance carry forward program (SAPF011) must be started again for the current year.
b) Create two asset history sheets for the accounts affected.For performance reasons, you are recommended to restrict by account assignment or by asset classes.Enter 0020 as the sort version, the year-end of the previous year and the year-end of the current year as the report date and activate 'Posted depreciation'.If the opening and closing values of the asset history sheet are different, the fiscal year change should be repeated.If the opening and closing value differ after the fiscal year change, you should examine whether a fixed asset with capitalization date exists for which acquisition dates are missing.
Note that down payments and acquisition values are shown together in the asset history sheet while there are normally different reconciliation accounts for it.
An incremental takeover may be present and the accounts are not reconciled correctly.
c) The asset history sheet for the previous year does not agree if you cross-check the values.In this case, RAABST01 should be started for the account affected.If the balance carried forward is affected, the year-end closing must now be cancelled, a depreciation recalculation must be carried out, a depreciation posting may need to be carried out and the year-end must be closed again.
d) The opening balance values of the current year do not match the value of the balance display. There may be a variety of reasons for this.
The error occurs only on the business area level.In Financial Accounting in the previous year, you must post a transfer between the business areas directly to the account using ABF1/FB01.For the differences refer to RFEWSBAL.There is only a problem if there are values on the account for business areas for which there are no longer any assets.You can use these business areas as an offsetting account assignment for the differences. You can make the postings in same way as for Note 69225. As an alternative, you can deactivate the business area balance sheets. You can choose this solution if you activated the balance sheets by mistake.Upto now you did not reconcile FI-AA and FI-GL at business area level either.
Incorrect legacy data transfer:if there already exist differences in the year of the legacy data transfer, the differences must also be written off on the G/L account in the previous year. Refer also to Note 69225. This error occurs especially when a local currency changeover is performed directly in the year of a mid-year legacy data transfer and the balance values of Asset Accounting were not posted at the beginning of the year, that is, on December 31 but on the key date of legacy data transfer to the general ledger.You encounter this error when the system displays pairs of entries in the list for the balance carried forward (period is blank) and for the key date (period 999).
The problem also occurs if you manage reserves for special depreciation and have not reconciled the reserve for special depreciation balance sheet account during transfer or migration.
RAABST01 finds missing line items - these must be regenerated using RACORR05.
The account was posted manually.You can see this using the line item display of the account.These manual postings must be reversed.If necessary, a separate account that is not posted to by FI-AA must be created.(Also refer to Note 69225 - however, the adjustment posting has to be entered in the previous year.)
Account is an accumulated depreciation account:depreciation was reset by program during the fiscal year or fixed assets were deleted but depreciation had already been posted.Correct the values in the general ledger in the previous year (see Note 69225).
Account is not a reconciliation account of Asset Accounting:contact an SAP consultant. A serious Customizing error exists.However, this only applies to depreciation areas posting online.Customizing can be checked with the report RACKONT1 or via the IMG:'Preparations for productive operation --> Check consistency --> Assets: Report for G/L accounts'.
Start RAHAFA01 for the account with indicator 'Display special dep.If accumulated depreciations exist for different depreciation types (for example, normal or special depreciation, transfers of reserves), check whether accounts for these depreciation types are entered in the corresponding account assignment. If not, maintain the accounts.
