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.

Balance Carry Forward issue

When doing a balance carry forward, the retained earning accounts carryforward is appearing under the P&L carryforward as opposed to the balance sheet process. Due to this, the retained earnings carryforward is only happening at the GL account + Co Cd level (and PCA if doing a PCA carry forward). WE need it to be in the Balance Sheet carry forward so it can be rolled over at a more detailed level (namely Trading partner, Transaction type etc).
Since retained earnings account is a Balance sheet account, it would be safe to assume that it would appear under the Balance Sheet carryforward process. However, because that is not happening and its being included in the P&L carryforward, manual reclass entries need to be posted with the correct code block elements.
Does anyone know if this is something maintained at a configurational level? Any help would be highly appreciated.

At the year-end, you "roll over" all of your P&L account balances to the retained earnings account (which is a balance sheet account) so you could show the P+L result in the balance sheet in the equity section. It is very logical that you see the retained earnings account in the P&L carryforward. In FS00, all of your P&L accounts have a retained earnings account type (X, e.g.) that is linked to a GL account (which is the retained earnings balance sheet account). Balance sheet accounts in FS00 are not assigned to any retained earnings acct type.

Balance Carry Forward with New GL

hi,
I am trying to do balance carried forward using the new GL and I expect to see retained earnings splits by profit center and segment. I was able to run the program and see the revenue and expenses roll into Retained Earnings account split <u>by profit center</u>, however it did NOT split by segment. The balance in retained earnings account shows split by profit center with BLANK segment.
I have setup my configuration as:
- Turn on the business scenario to use Partner Profit Center and Partner Segment
- Specify the account range in the document split. I specified retained earnings account as balance sheet account
- I have setup segment as mandatory field in the document splitting configuration
- I setup the activate the document split and setup default profit center/segment
Can you tell me if I am missing something in the configuration or there is something wrong with the system.
Thanks, Tony

Hi,
Voor profit centers you have to run the balance carried forward in PCA.

How to know whether balance carry forward has happened or not

How to know , whether balance carry forward has happened or not for a perticular GL account or for the company code as a whole?

If the account is a balance sheet account, you can merely look at the beginning balance for the same balance sheet account for the beginning of the next fiscal year FS10N. The beginning balance will equal the previous year's ending balance. Since this does not happen automatically, you will know that carry forward has not been done if a balance sheet account has no beginning balance in the following fiscal year.
If you are talking about For P&L GL accounts, you can check the acvitity in the retained earnings accounts to make sure that they have been updated for the P&L activity. You can identify the retained earnings account by looking at the master data for the account in the section "P&L statmt acct type" and pulling up the menu to see the actual retained earnings account number.
You can perform carry foward (GVTR) as many times as you want but normally once it has been ran, any postings to a previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current year after that initial run.

SEM: BCS Balance Carry Forward - Concept of Period 00

Gurus:
Wants to clear a concept with you. Say for example at the end of Period 12, 2006,
B/S Account 1: $100,000
Retained Earnings: $ 200,000
And only for the Period 1, 2007:
B/S Account 1: $200 (this is a periodic value)
And Net Profit: $15
Now lets assume the Retained Earnings of Current Month = RE Last Month + Net Profit.
Now if we dont do a Balance Carry forward after Period 12 close and before Period 1 close, I will be getting this only for Period 1,
B/S Account 1: $200
Retained Earnings: $15
But if we do a BCF after Period 12 close and before Period 1 close, I will be getting this only for Period 1,
B/S Account 1: $100,200
Retained Earnings: $200,015
So the BCS gets the value in period 00 and in backend add it to period 1 to give a cumulative period 1. Period 00 is a virtual place holder for this and not be available for reporting.
Am I correct?
Thanks for your time spent,
Regards,
Arpan

Thanks Eugene!
I am sure you are correct, but not able to understand the answer for my this question from the thread you mentioned. Was thinking of BCS & period 00 concept and trying to confirm my understanding. Sorry for not able to pick up the loose thread. Still open..

Balance Carry Forward To wrong account

Hi,
When we do balance carry forward to the next fiscal year via Tcode: GVTR, it gives a message 'balance carry forward to fiscal year 2005 successfully'
But when we display trial balance report, the balance is carried forward to the same P&L account instead of Retained Earnings account.
The balance in the Retained Earnings account remains unaffected for Eg. 2004 as compared to 2005, the closing balance of 2004 is same as the opening balance of 2005, there is no change.
We just upgraded to mySAP ERP last month.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
In Financial Accounting Global Settings menu, go to the Tools section. There is a menu option for "Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger (GLT0)". Check whether the update of GLT0 has been deactivated or not at this point.
Hope it helps.

Difference in Balance carried forward

Hi,
The ending balance of a retained earning account is zero in 2008. The same account shows a balance carried forward (beg. amount) in worth of -100000 u20AC in 2009, which remains same till to the end of the year. But the balance carried forward of this account in 2010 is -150000u20AC.
Can anybody help me, how it can happen??

Hi SIM,
Balance carryforwards is typically performed in the new fiscal year after the year end close. The cumulative balance for the Balance Sheet accounts from the previous year including activity for P 1-16 are reflected in P. 0. The IIncome Statement accounts are cleared to 0 and no value is reflected in the new year until activity is performed . The net value from the IS are moved to Retained Earnings.
For the retained earnings account, The transaction typically nets the values from the income statement and moves it into the retained earnings cumulative balance in period 0 of the new year. The value is added to the cumulative balance of the account for the previous year. The cumulative balance for P. 16 of the previous year will not reflect the net value of the income statement.
Other carryforward transactions are below:
F.07 Customer and vendor c/f
F.16 GL c/f
GVTR Special Ledger c/f

Balance carry forward not happening for new entity

Hello Gurus,
We added mid 2009 a new entity to be consolidated.
The balance carry forward assigns the last year results to retained earnings, this is the same accross all entities.
When executing the task in the monitor, there is no error message but it does no work, results end-up on a difference elimination item.
For all other entities, it works fine.
I wonder if there is a configuration that I overlooked.
Many thanks for you inpput.
Alex-

So you are saying that for all other consolidation units, the Balance CarryForward (BCF) was successful?
but for only one unit is was not successful?
- I suggest to you that one of the following has occurred;
1. there is no data against the balance sheet items for that unit (go to totals records to confirm YTD balance last year for all Balance Sheet items for that cons unit)
2. there is only data against a specific item that has been set to carryforward to the "elimination" item that you mentioned (check the BCF items to be carried forward confgiuration)
3. there is only data against Balance Sheet items that have been configured NOT to be carried forward (check the BCF config)
4. you have configured some items incorrectly as Item Type; Income Statement or Statistical instead of Balance Sheet.
5. You have missed the consolidation unit from the hierarchy for p1, 2010 (please also check the combinations if it is a matrix consolidation unit) so the BCF is not running for that unit at all
Checking these 5 should get you closer to the answer

G/L Balance carry Forward

Hi All,
If I do G/L balance carry forward using F.16 (SAPFGVTR), is it going to forward balances of P & L accounts also or else only balance sheet accounts.
Thanks in Advance !

Hi,
you can transfer the balances using F.16 where the balances of the G/L account will be carried forwarded into the new fiscal year.
But the financial statements for the closed years have to re-stated which is a big deal (especially if the company has gone public). You might want to check this with internal audit in either case before you do that in production
automatically and move the amount to The retained earnings account OB53
Thanks,

Hi,
When the balances are carried forward, the net of all values of the P&L G/L Accounts are transferred to the Retained Earnings Account. There is no real accounting posting done in the system for this. But when you go to the new year, the P&L Accounts are shown with zero opening balance as their balances have got transferred.
For Balance Sheet Accounts, the balances have to be carried forward to the new year and for P&L they have to be set to zero. Hence the balance carry forward transfers the net of all values in P&L G/L Accounts to the retained earnings account which is a balance sheet account.
This values can be seen in G/L Balance Report as carried forward values for the retained earning G/L.
Hope this helps.

Balance Carry Forward in New GL - Substitute RMVCT

Hi,
We have assignet the Consolidation Scenario to our main ledger in New GL, so that the field RMVCT is part of the FAGLFLEXT table.
We would like to have a unique movement code in the balance carry forward, for example F00.
We can map any filled movement code to a specific carry forward movement code, that's fine (table T856 allows that in the definition of the movement code).
But, and that is the issue, for balance sheet account without movement code, the balance carried forward has also no movement code, and I don't see the way to substitute the value to get F00 also for these account (there is no BSEG entry for the balance carry forward operations).
Thanks for an anwser.

How SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?

Hi,
I would like to find out how SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?
Income statement
Profit after Tax - 50
Balance Sheet
Retained profit (last year) - 100
Current Year profit - 50
How do i configurate 'Profit after Tax' = 'Current Year profit' in workbench? Is BCS going to store the computed results?
Balance items (ie 'Retained profit (last year)' and 'Current Year profit') by default are carry forward to next year in BCS.
Do i need to configurate 'Current Year profit' add to 'Retained profit (last year)'?
Pls advise.
Thanks.
Regards, Renee

Hi Renee,
By default, the balance sheet items are to be carried forward to next year. If you dont make any settings, both items, Retained profit (last year) and Current Year profit will be transferred to themselves, that is not correct.
You need to show the system which items are to be carried forward not to themselves.
To force the system to make the proper transfer, in UCWB go to Consolidation Functions -> Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward.
Enter there the following information:
<b>Orig. Item__________Debit Item_______Credit Item</b>
Current Year profit____RE (last year)_____RE (last year)
Do the similar operation for all items to be carried to other than themselves items, for example dividends of the current and last years etc.
Hope this helps.

please help

Hi,
Do once again balance carryforward to fiscal year 2010 in test run mode (select balances in retain acct)so you can able to see the balances to be carryforward.
Check the balances with t.code FAGLB03 instead of FS10N.

Profit center balance carry forward

Hi,
If i post any profit center documents after i do the balance carry forward for the profit center balance sheet accounts to the new fiscal year, will the system update the opening balance of the new fiscal year automatically or i have to re-run the balance carry forward again to update the opening balances?

Hello,
You can run 2KES any time. Rerun the same before closing the previous year postings in PCA.

Ravi
