Kind regards,

Hi,
Retained earnings account is the balance of P&L accounts which system posts when you do balance carry forward as part of the year end operations. You have to link all the P&L accounts to Retained earnings account. You can see the line items for this account if you go to FS10N and double click on the balance column which will show the current balance of this account. Hope this helps.

  • The effect of placing retain earning in drawer cost of sales

    Dear Experts/Gurus,
    I have a problem relate to retained earning G/L account. I have seen there are 2-3 types of  GL account retain earning i.e last year, running period and current period.
    Some of databases contains 2 or 3.
    The problem is that I do not know the effect if running period is placing in drawer cost of sales. usually it is in capital and reserve.
    What will be the effect ?
    I know I can modify the financial report but the main purpose I still do not know.
    I appreciate your answer. TIA
    Rgds,

    Hi Will,
    It means that the account type is not sales and expense but other. It fully depended on company's preference.
    Based on these formula I researched:
    Gross profit (GP) = retained earning - revenues
    Operating profit (OP) = GP - COGS
    Profit after financing expenses (PAFE)= OP - Total expenses
    Profit period = PAFE - Other revenues and expenses
    So, all are fully depended on G/L account location and setting in COA and off course its daily use in the transaction either after it set in the G/L account determination or journal entry transaction.

  • How to eliminate certain P&L Statement Accounts from Retained Earning

    I have certain P&L statement accounts which are used to track certain transaction at end of year.
    SAP allows config by which all P&L accounts are subject to retained earning.
    We want to eliminate some P&L statement Accounts so that these do not show up as part of retained earning. Please advice what is the best  way to do this.
    thanks!
    Edited by: RajSAP01 on Dec 20, 2011 10:11 PM

    GL account will be created and should have either P&L or BS account type.  You can not create without any one of this
    And you need to select which P&L statement a/c type to be used if you have more than one such P&L account types. (Check at OB53) If only one P&L statement type is available SAP uses the same by default
    There is no way to disconnect GL accounts either from  P&L account or BS account.
    If you want to change P&L account to BS account see that GL account do not have any cost element
    Similarly if you want to change BS account to P&Laccount see that GL account do not have any recon account.

  • Balance of Retained Earning Account

    Hi Gurus,
    I am executing transaction FAGLGVTR for transferring balance to retained earning account but when i see the balance of retained earning account in FBL3N, balance is not changing.
    It is same as previous.
    Please help me in solving the issue.
    Thank You

    Hi
    Please review notes 176067, as there is no possibility to view line item display. The opening balance on the retained earnings account consists of  the following:                                                       
    Opening balance = Closing balance of the previous year + Retained earnings from the P+L accounts                                                                               
    Within the balance carryforward, the P+L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings accounts on the balance sheet (definition in  Transaction OB53).
    No documents are created with this, hence the balance
    carryforward cannot be carried out via the line item display.          
    Best Regards

    Hi Tom
    I am running  datamanager package for consolidation for ic eliminations and consolidation of investments and have  4 business rules for income statement related ic eliminations which are causing issue by not updating retain earning accounts from balance sheet and income statement account.
    i have defined one retained act with BS LEQ and the offset account with  income statement  account.
    I am thinking what is the best way to define the retained earning account, can i define both accounts from BS LEQ  level or
    income statemnt  side and  balance sheet- leq?
    process will be first load data in LC , default logic , currency translation and then followed by consolidation package is the process.
    thanks

  • Retain earning account balances

    Hi gurus,
    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,

  • What is meant by Retain earning a/c - only bal car forward or else...?

    ABOUT RETAIN EARNING ACCOUNT IS IT FOR BALANCE CARRY FORWARD AND IS IT LIKE A SUSPENSE ACCOUNT....?
    help.sap.com

    Hello Rony,
    Good question.
    The design of the system is such that RE is updated during the year end closing only. (At the end of the accounting year). During the year RE is not updated but system shows in the FSV the difference between assets & liabilities = to current yearu2019s profit or loss (up to the period).
    Donu2019t worry. Just look at any standard FSV available in the system, copy it and edit it as per your requirements.

  • Need Help: Retained Earning Rollforward Issue

    The begining retained earning does not rollforward unless I do a force calculate. Does anyone know what could be the issue.

    Hi,
    Normally, in an HFM application rolling forward functionality works with many more accounts than retained earnings as you mention. Now, if you have no change in data in the previous year, then your current year should not be affected, and no need to run the calculations again. Though, you have to run calculation rules at least once when you start with a new year, in order to roll forward your opening balances from the previous year. And you have to do this for all entities. Or run consolidate at a parent entity which will trigger all calculations to the entities below it.

    Dear Friends,
    Can we passed the adjustment JV for Retained Earning Account directly for previous fiscal year.
    Please explain this.

    Hi,
    You cannot post directly to the retained earnings account. You have to post to a normal P&L account which will take its effect on the retained earnings account.
