Retained earnings in Periodic application

Hi
I have a periodic application where I would like to post retained earnings on the balance sheet.
Below is the part of my default logic form my YTD application.
*WHEN ACCOUNTDIM.GROUP2
*IS "PL"
    *WHEN ACCDETAILDIM
    *IS "FLOW_CLOSING"
        *WHEN INTCODIM
        *IS "IC_ALL"
             *REC(ACCOUNTDIM="ACC_PROFIT_BS",ACCDETAILDIM="FLOW_RESULT",INTCODIM="IC_ALL",DataSrc="CalcPreAdj")
             *REC(ACCOUNTDIM="ACC_PROFIT_BS",ACCDETAILDIM="FLOW_CLOSING",INTCODIM="IC_ALL",DataSrc="CalcPreAdj")
         *ENDWHEN
    *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
Re-using this in my periodic application result in only moving the periodic result to the balance sheet and not the YTD result.
What is best practice for moving retained earnings in a periodic application?

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
Are there any performance issues by calling SPRUNCALCACCOUNT in default logic?
For information I hav put myfull default logic is below:

    Hi  All,

    1.How is Retained Earnings calculated in BPC? Is it a calculated figure or carried forward figure?
    2. When it is calulated?
    3.How it is carried forward from P&L account to B/S..Through any Business Rule or Script Logic.If so what are those rules/logic
    Do you have any document on the same that could help to understant the above mentioned areas on Retained Earnings.
    Thanks,
    Shankar.v

    Hi,
    By Using the Copy Opening  & Carry forward Function, You Can achieve this.
    For example, if you  use the dimension “flow” in the data model when closing balances of one year are rolled forward into the opening balances of the following year, the balance to be rolled forward will be found under flow type Closing, but
    will need to be posted in the new year under flow type Opening. As well accounts may also change.
    For example, the account Retained earnings current year income, when rolled forward may in the new year be stored under an alternate account Retained Earnings from prior period. Accordingly, the ability must also exist to change accounts during roll-forward. The “Business Rules Tables” in this case are designed to define what values need to be rolled forward (i.e. accounts and flows and to what accounts and flows these values should be posted in the new year). The carry-forward function can be applicable to both Financial and Legal Consolidation Applications.
    Carry-forward rules give you the ability to generate the Opening Balance of any category based on two main properties: Flow Type in the Account dimension Opening category in the Category dimension This procedure can be used to initialize a new reporting period with the closing balances of the last period from the previous year into the opening balances of the current period. In a Legal Consolidation application, such balances are usually identified as members of the FLOW dimension. In simpler applications, however, it is also possible to store them as additional accounts in the ACCOUNT dimension.
    Balance Carry Forward Business Rules
    1. To configure the business rules, go to the Admin Console, and fill in the business rule based on the data below:
    For example In row 1, roll the entire balance sheet (closing flow) from 2009.DEC to 2010.JAN (opening flow). Then, in lines 2 and 3, post the annual net income in 390000009( Source Account) to the prior year retained earnings account 25712000(Destination Account) and flow 'F_ARES'.

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

    Hi Gurus,

    I want to know the system generated entries which table they are stored, this transaction is not in Gl_Balances table.

    Thanks in advance

    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.

  • 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,

    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

  • Retained Earnings Error

    Hi Guys,
    I have a situation which is like this.
    There has been a wrong entry in the system during 2001 and we dont know where it came from. It is now included in the retained earnings account.
    How can i adjust my retained earnings account?
    Thanks,
    Srikanth.

    Hi
    If your retained earnings GL account not accepts to post manually, create a new GL account called "Prior period adjustment account" and do adjustments.  This standard accounting practice.

  • 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

  • Manual posting to Retained Earnings & Reserves Account

    Hello Experts,
    Due to acquisition which was an assets sale, we have to adjust the reserves and retained earnings balance in our SAP ECC 5.0 version.  My understanding is we can't post a manual posting to retained earnings account and wondering how can I achieve a set balance by making adjustments.
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Mohammed.

    Hi:
           SAP does not recommend manual posting to RE Account . In order to have effects in RE please open the previous fiscal year (if the entry or an adjustment pertains to closed fiscal year). Post the normal entry which should have been passed under normal circumstances. Please note that entry should be posted in special period of closed fiscal year. Having posted the entry execute FAGLGVTR , this will now carry forward an adjusted RE balance.
    Hope this will help you.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • Strange behavior in Periodic application

    I have a finance application with YTDINPUT set to u2018Nou2019 used for budgeting.
    When I enter figures in one month i.e. February 2009, sales 4000, save the numbers and run a report. A total of -4000 is reported for March 2009.
    Looking directly in the SQL fact tables there are no data for March 2009.
    When I change my report to show the data source dimension in the Row the figures in March 2009 disappear.
    What is wrong? How do I get rid of the figures in March 2009?

    Hi Bjorn
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    To me the tblYTDFormula look wrong. Only YTD uses base level and the formula for Periodic is a lag calculation over time. This tells me that the formulas are to YTD applications.
    I have an application set with both YTP and Periodic applications. I have made a full optimize of the application, without any effect on the data.
    Currently I am only entering data on P&L accounts.
    With basis in your example.
    The figures that I see for March only exists on parent level if I look at bas level for account there are no data.
