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.

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.

Retained Earning Accounts

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

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.

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,

Hi:
You carry forward balances at year end using FAGLFVTR . Only then all accounts are closed to Retained earning accounts. Hence unless you do not carry forward balance to next fiscal year using FAGLGVTR you would not be able to show impacts in GL. Please refer to one of my link given under which contains brief discussion about nature of retained earning account and its impacts.

Hi,
Have you tried to define retained earning account by using the following T Code.
OB53 - Define Retained Earnings Account
Most 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, and for account determination you enter the retained earnings account under the key X.
FSP0 - Edit G/L account - Chart of accounts
Please assign points if helpful.

Retained Earnings Account query

Hi Folks,
At Ledger level we can assign one balancing segment value for Retained earnings account , where as if we have multiple balancing segment values in same BG LE and OU so how we can differentiate the retained earning account balances for different balancing segment values.
Regards
Prasanth

Hi Rupa,
Thanks for your reply,
Sorry for inconvience, actually my query is as follow.
We have single ledger with multiple balancing segements , we will enter multiple transactions for each balancing segment values. but we can assign only one balancing segment at ledger level how system will create other balancing segment retained earnings account , and how it will get effect.
Ex:- Balancing segments (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) we will assign only "1" at ledger level. later we entered transanctions for "2" , "3" vis versa, how system will generate retaned earnings account combination for "2" , "3" . based on what functionality it is working .

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.

2 retained earnings account to be maintained

Hi
Our client requirement is we have to maintain 2 retained earning account one is for Previous year retained earnings account and another is for current year.
How to do it
and how the value will flow from the current retained earnings account to previous year retained account

Hello,
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. If you want you can use more than one REA in ur co code.
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 is debit then asset side
Thanks

Retained earning

Hello friends,
Whenever i see trial balance,i see balance in retained earning account.But i want to get the details of it.
From where i can get the details of it.which tcode will be useful..
Kind regards,
Greeshma

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.
