Variance between KE30 (COPA) Balance versus GL Balances (GR55)
Hi all,
Would you know what are the main causes of the variances between COPA Report (KE30) versus GL Balance (GR55)? How to avoid it? I've been encountering this for the past months. How to resolve also the variances? Thank you in advance.
Hi,
It is not necessary in costing based COPA for FI and COPA to be equal. It basically depends on your
customizing. In SD you map the value fields to condition types in tcode KE4I (there is no 1:1 mapping to
a cost element). In FI/MM you have a PA transfer structure. Here you could have a cost element group
mapped to a single value field or different assignment lines posting to the same value field. So again
there need not be a 1:1 mapping.
The cost element is not filled in CO-PA when transferring values from SD. The reason is that we transfer
several conditions (each condition can be assigned to a different cost element) with one line item to COPA.
So it would not make sense to choose any of the affected cost elements by chance to the line item
as the line item stands for several cost elements. Also in SD only cost elements of category 11 and 12
are relevant to CO-PA.
At time of settlement you can post the values from different cost elements to different CO-PA value
fields, but in one line item in CO-PA. The idea of costing based COPA is to describe the meaning of
values with different value fields and not with the cost element. Therefore the system maps original cost
elements to CO-PA value fields and this leads to the fact that we summarize over the cost elements.
Since costing based CO-PA does not use cost element as a key, but the different value fields, there is a
summarization through the technical field KSTAR in CO-PA. Therefore, the field KSTAR in CO-PA
makes only sense if you deliver only one cost element to CO-PA. This means that we have only space
for one cost element (one flat CE1 line is assigned to several lines from the sender distinguished by cost
element), but since one could have several cost elements during the settlement we can take only one
(the first or the last one - as described in note 763516).
Due to the reasons mentioned above please check if it is really necessary to reconcile G/L accounts
with value fields in KE30.

GL balances differences between Year end closing and opening balances
Hi friends,
One GL account balances showing differences between year end closing & year opening balances.
Example: 2006 closing balance is 250000 $
2007 opening balance is 150000 $
difference is 100000 $ . why should coming like this. already completed balances carryforward (F.16) in 2006 & 2007 year.
any programe for this solution ?
One more point is just 2 days back i posted 2 entries for 2006 year equal to 100000 $ . after this entries shall we need go for F.16 (carry forwarded balances).
please do the needful. It is very urgant issue.
RajHI,
There shouldn't be any more postings to a GL Account once Balance carry forward has been executed.
If postings have been made then you should execute the Balance carry forward again, otherwise you will see difference in opening and closing GL balance (as mentioned by you).

Mismatch between Closing Balance and Opening balance in FAGLB03
Hi Guys,
There is a mismatch for GL account balance between the closing ( 2008 ) and opening balance ( 2009 )
in the transaction FAGLB03.
However for the same GL account, the closing balance for year 2008 and opening balance for year 2009 are matching.
Please suggest why there is a discrepancy.
Thanks
Srikanth.Hi
but my question is how is the system showing some amount in the Balance carry forward row.Though the amount is not matching it is showing some amount.
Where did it pick this amount from?
Thanks,
Srikanth. -
Difference between G/L Account Balance and PCA Balance
Friends,
After executing KE5T for the period 6 we are seeing a difference in the G/L a/c balance figures and the profit center figures for 2 balance sheet accounts. In one case the PCA balance figures are greater than the G/L a/c balance figures and vice versa in the 2nd case.
What is the procedure to be followed in such cases? Is there any standard program that can identify the postings that are causing the differences?
Please confirm at your earliest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer S. GupteEli,
Thanks for the reply.
However, the note 126910 specifically mentions that it is not to be used for balance sheet account balances transferred to PCA using 1KEK.
Can you please advise about reconciling differences between PCA and balance sheet accounts.
Thanks & Regards,

Variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of
There is again a variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of
7.026,64 (Tcode MB5L) as it was already in $$100036500(G/L).
The strange thing is, that there is only a difference in the GL Account
Balance report (FS10N) for S240077000(G/L ). In the Line Item report (FBL3N)
all documents are available. This issue impacts at least the Balance
carry forward negativ at the year end, because the system will forward
the the amount of the balance for S240077000, which is now 7.026,64 to
less.
Ther first investigations results:
- all Material- and FI documents are available.
- the variances in June refer to FI-documnets 4900015286 and 4900015293.
- the documents, e.g. 4900015292 and 4900015287, are correct and was
posted at the same day by the same user and with the same transaction
MI07.
- there are no differences for the posted materials identificable from
the other materialsMaterial Ledger/Actual costing MLAC
MLAC is used where the FG cost varies every month due to external procurement variation.
Ex: Jan 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 100
FG cost of procurement externally = 120 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 110...This is standard price of FG
Due to heavy fluctuations in the month of February 2011 in procurement...
Ex: Feb 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 140
FG cost of procurement externally = 460 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 300...This is standard price of FG.
The variance is very high in Feb 2011 and company want to absorb this variance in Feb 2011 iteslef hence they will use MLAC.
So if the variance is within reasonable limits company usually do not follow MLAC.
Where as if the variance is very high company usually follow MLAC.
In Pharma Industry usually the variance is very high on month to month basis hence they follow MLAC.
Where as in Industrial Mahcineery Manufacturing Company the variance is with in reasonable limits hence they do not follow MLAC. Ofcourse they can use MLAC as well.

Variance between MB5L and MMBE
Dear all,
My client finds the variance between these two t codes for one specific material.that s why they are not able to pass the balance sheet.
Please let me know the possible reasons. Kindly let me know through functional side instead of going through tables.
regards,HI
MMBE gives the total stock in the plant for a particular material, and the storage location. It also displays the correct Batch to which the stock belongs.
The total stock for this beit in unrestricted use, Blocked stock, return stock, Quality stock all is shown in this MMBE
MB5L gives u the stock position as against the date. U can select the current period, previous period or the fiscal yr which is desired.
Also the stock as per the val;uation class and the G/L account concerning the vauation class is displayed.
Hope this helps.

We are using the RG1 register recently i.e. after the Functional Upgrade (ECC 6.0). While executing J2I6 RG1 Excel report, opening balance and closing balance is not appearing in the report even though we have done the J1I5 extraction.
Is it mandatory to update the J_2IRG1BAL table with zero stock as and when the new material codes are created.
Regards,
PraveenHI
Yes it is mandatory to update the table J_2IRG1BAL with material form and opening stock etc. for all the new materials
EXGRP: Excise group of the material
DATUM: Date from which you want RG1 report i.e. 01.01.2004
MATNR: Material
FORM: P for packed, L for loose. note that the same material cannot be maintained as both packed and loose.
WERKS: Leave it blank
Maintain all relevant opening balance fields. These fields start with OP

Opening Balance and closing Balance - Crystal Report
Hi,
We have a report with account number, date , opening balance , closing balance and transaction amount. we had grouped the report by account. User will run the report with set of date range and we need to find the minimum date to find the opening balance and maximum date to find the closing balance and display them in the account group header for each account.
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CBal;
If {Command.VALUEDATE}= Maximum({Command.VALUEDATE}) then
CBal= {Command.CLOSINGBALANCE};
+CBal;
It is showing the closing balance and opening balance in the account group footer. but we could not able to show in the account group header.
Regards,
SreeniThe easiest way to do this is NOT use variables.
Sort the data in date order ascending.
Then simple place the date field in Group header, details and footer.
Header will now show first date and Footer last date.

Opening balance and closing balance on Receivables Customer Statement repor
I need an opening balance and closing balance of the customer statement in one report. Currently I developed a custom Customer statement report in report builder 6i. I developed a custom procedure to retrieve the previous statement balance. I’m able to successfully retrieve ending balance statement with sysdate but if I go back to previous date or previous statement date then I’m not getting the right ending balance of the report.
Even the seeded api arp_customer_aging provides the ending balance for sysdate but not for previous dates because this api always looks back to amount due remaining column(ar_payment_schedules_all).
Did any one ever develop a custom logic to get previous balance and ending balance on one single customer statement?Hi,
I am working on the same logic. My program loads opening and closing balance and a list of items everyday. The GL_balances table gives you current balance but if you want the previous balance, you have to use : "gl_daily_balances" table and provide accounting_date for which you want the balance.
Hope this Helps!

Opening Balance - Transactions - Closing Balance in FD10N & FK10N
Hi All,
I need to see the report in following format for FD10N & FK10N
1. Opening Balance
2. (+/-) Transactions
3. Closing Balance
FD10N and FK10N show the period balance and drilling into the balance shows the detail view of transactions posted in the period. But I need to see the above 3 items (Opening Balance, Transactions & Closing Balance) in 1 report.
ThanksThere is no such report to show the opening balance then your transactions and then your closing balance. (something similar to personal bank statement)
However, you may see the following reports may suffice your requirement (there is no drilldown available)
S_ALR_87012172 (for customers)
S_ALR_87012082 (for vendors)
