Retained a/c balance mismatch

when I view the closing balance of Retained earning a/c for the year 2009 it is 14,78,900. But when I view the opening balance of the same account in 2010, it gives another figure 12,60,991. Why this is so. The closing balance in the previous year and the opening balance of the next year should be matched, right ?

Hi,
Retained earnings is the balances that is accumulated with the yearly profit or loss we have incurred in the business.
It is the difference in the incomes and expenses that is accumulated.
As we know incomes and expesnes will be moved to retained earnings and the next year begining balances of the incomes and expenses will be 0.
Balance sheet items will be carried forward for the next year, hence the closing balance in the prior year will be ea\qual to the begining balances in the new year.
The closing balance of retained earnings will not match with the opening balance of the next year.
For example :
On 31.03.2011 (Fisacl Year 2010) we have got the Profit/loss from the incomes and expenses is Rs100.
On 31.03.2011 And your retained earnings (accumulated ) which is on 31.03.2011in Rs.150
On 01.04.2011 The retained earnings will be Rs. 250 ( Rs.150 (Accumulated before) + 100 (Profit earned in Fiscal year 2010)).
This is because of the concept that the profits are accumulated every year.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Shilpa.

FI GL and FI AA sub-ledger recon balance mismatch

Hi,
FI GL and FI AA sub-ledger recon balance mismatch
Year 2010 .and period 12 .. no mismatch
Year 2011 and period 01 .. there is mismatch
so I thing there was issue in year end closing. And now we are in Nov ( 11 period ) . so our special posting period is also not open to reprocess year end activity.
How should i approach to this issue.
Please guide with step by step process.
Thanks
P B

Thank you for reply,
2010 Closing and 2011 Opening balance is same.
and we are using SAP R/3 4.7 so we dont have that t code FAGLGVTR.
in ABST2 there is the difference in Balance.
2010 period 12
In GL
Begging Balance(100)
ending balance (100)
In Subledger
Begging Balance (100)
ending balance    (100)
difference between both ledgers ( 0)
But in
2011 period 1
In GL                                                                         In Subledger
Begging Balance   (100)
ending balance      (100)
In Subledger
Begging Balance ( -400)
ending balance    (-400)
difference between both ledgers ( 500)
Now i checked this
1. FS10N - GL Balance is same in 2010 period 12 and 2011 period 1
2. AR01 - Subledger Balance is same in 2010 period 12 and 2011 period 1
Q : where this -400 balance is coming from . ( where can i see or how can i identify ?)
Note :
( Program is pulling this value from Table : GLPCT )
Thanks

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.

Retain Earing GL Balance Drill Down

Hi,
When we are displaying Retain Earling Account through FS10N, double click on balance which was posted through year ending closing procedure, Can we able to see next level i.e Line item level.
IF we want to display Retain Earning Account Balance at Line item level like norma GL, what is the procedure.
Regards,
Venkat

That is also my experience. SAP Note 176067 is unusually clear in explaining Retained Earnings and the lack of transactions for year end roll up.
You can see the balances that roll up into Retained Earnings at year end by running Balance Carry Forward again and selecting display retained earnings balance. I used tcode FAGLGVTR.

Retained Earnings Account balance not carry forwarded to next year

Hi,
We have problem in Retained Earnings Account Balance C/F to next year
example:
G/L Account closing balance in 2008 - 1000.00 (as per FS10N) after c/f balances to 2009
G/L Account Opening balance in 2009 - 850 (as per FS10N) (there is a difference 150.00)
If we double click on Cumulative balace of 850 it will give us - 1000.00 and if we see in report : FBL3N it will show correct balance. Only FS10N is not showing correct balance.
Can you please let us know what will be the reason ?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
We are using 4.6C version and last few years there was no problem and we have other company codes which are showing correct balance. But only one company code this difference is coming.
If we double click the FS10N report opening balace it will give us the correct balance. But in display there is showing less amount.
Thanks

FI - PCA Balance mismatch

Dear Experts,
There is a FI PCA mismatch. transaction posted in FI but not reflecting in PCA. The following is my scenario in production.
1. User create a Bal Sheet GL X1234 in Jul-2011
2. Did not inform to assign it to 3KEH
3. Posted a few transaction for the year ending 2010, in the special period 13-2010
4. Transaction posted as per # 3, the PCA document is generated
5. Execution of T-Code 2KES, now in Aug-2011, did not have any impact. The GL X1234 could not carry forward balance of 13-2010 nor visible in the list of Bal Sheet GLs in T-Code 2KES.
6. Assigned GL X1234 in 3KEH. Execute 2KES, but still no impact on PCA.
7. I even tried to post FI Doc manually to PCA thru T-Code 1KE8. But since, the PCA doc is already generated thru FI Doc, the system displays a message that "Document already posted".
Please help me how to correct this mismatch, so that the transactions start reflecting in PCA reports and FI=PCA.
Regards,
Hussein.

Hi Ajay,
Thank you and Happy Ramazan to you too.
We already tried 1KEL, 9KE0 and 1KE8, but non could work, because the PCA Docs are already created while postings FI Docs. The concern here is, amounts are not reflecting in PCA reports S_ALR_87013336.
Line items could not be found in KE5Z.
please help further.
regards,
Hussein.

Retain earning account balances

I have one problem at the time of uploading legacy balances. i had uploaded the 01.04.2009 balance sheet balances & i face some issue that the net profit which is not display in balance sheet. how can i get or display the net profit of net loss balances in balance sheet?
can i have to upload the legacy retain earning balance through transaction to match the net profit or loss? please suggest me how to workout this issue?
(we are not uploading the Profit & Loss account legacy balances)
Warm regards,
Dhananjay Rahane.

Hi,
Check in OB53, whether you have created a retained earnings account for the chart of account. Under normal circumstances,
this will show you the net of income over expenses of the P&L account transactions and it is a automatic posting in your
financial statement version. If you upload the P&L account balances, the retained account is automatically populated.
If you are not going to upload P&L balances, how the trial balance will tally ? Otherwise you have to directly upload the
balance.
Warm regards,
Sadashivan

Vendor balance mismatch

We have a custom liability report that shows the list of all the open items for all the vendors for the given dates. The problem is that for one of the vendors, the standard SAP vendor balance is not equal to the balance that shows on the liability report. Could any of you shed light on why this might be happening? Can you give me some advise on how to approach and dissect this problem?
Any help on this is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Where from do you read the open items in your custom program? I hope it is BSIK. Please check if the field "Open at key date" in FBL1N is the same date criteria you provide in your custom program. Hope this helps.

Opening and closing balance mismatch for - RG23A Part II

Dear SAP Gurus,
RG23A-Part-II for the month of May 2010 and have noticed the following problems
1. The closing balance of last month is not tallying with the opening balance of current month. The balances printed in the register for BED, EDUCESS And HSEC are wrong.
2. We have utilized the CENVAT balance for the payment of duty for the month of May 2010 - J2IUN.
3.It is observed that even though we have debited duty under three headings, i.e. BED, EDUCESS and HSEC the register shows all the three debits under BED, which is incorrect
Note : The Table entry of J_1IPart2 for Accounting Document ex 200033141 does not show breakup for Education Cess and H&SEcess.
Kindly help what and where do we need to check for the setting?
Regards,
Prashanth

Its possible that some transactions are posted after you extract the report. Extract the report again (J2I5) and print them.
Have you configured different GL accounts for posting BED, ECS & HCS. From your description, it seems same GL is assigned for all three components.

Customer line item balance mismatch with work list balance

Hi Gurus,
While viewing the work list, it shows a different balance against the customer open items . for example there are 4 open items amounting to $ 29000 with a customer. But in work list it shows $33, but if we double click on that particular row it shows all the 4 open items and for another customer it is not taking in to account one open item in the work list. what configuration needs to be checked for this ?
Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Narayanan

there are a few things to check here.
1 - In the extractation from AR have you got the correct date.
In FDM_COLL_SEND01 run this for the customer in question with output details ticked. This will show the data being passed to Collections Management.
You need to check when the last time you ran this, as it could be picking up old data.
Check the date in your variant for UDM_GENWL.
Lastly, can you confirm if you have activated any BADI;s to influence the worklist? Perhaps something here is changing the totals.
