Hi,

No need create a new GL, you can use the same GL by changing it as balance sheet account.

1. First you have to make the balance as 0

2. Change the message no.601 in appl.area FH as warning

3. Later change it as balance sheet

4. After you re transfer the balance and run balance carry forward program for the GL

Dear Chetan,

Create a new Balance sheet G/L for liquid funds, and transfer the balance to this newly created G/L in the New Fiscal year. Hence the balance would match in previous year since the YTD balance will be taking the old G/L into consideration.

The New G/L will be effective from First period of the New Fiscal, if this old G/L was used in any of the automatic account assignment, change the same with the new GL. hence forth all the posting will happen in the New Balance Sheet GL.

Note: But the balance in the New GL will be shown in period one but not in balance carryforward row if FS10N. once this is done, you can mark the old G/L "Blocked for Posting and deletion indicator if it is no more needed. but the balance will be taken into effect for YTD last year, so your financial statement will not have any impact.

Hope this solves this issue,

Hi Chethan,

Make the GL balances "0" , block the GL from posting.Then run a program "RFSEPA01" and remove the block  , make changes and repost the balances.

Dear Chethah,

if the G/L has debit balance, then debit the new G/L with the value.

and credit old G/L and vice versa.

Hi Chethan,

Please check the SAP note 3844 which explains how to change from balance sheet to P&L accounts and viceversa.

However, the only way to correct the account master data is to make sure that the account balance is zero first.

First check your entries for the account and make sure the balance is zero. You can then customize your entries for message FH 601 in transaction OBA5 to change the message from error to warning. This has
to be done before changing the G/L account.

After changing the account, you might have to run the SAPF011 program so that the balance carried forward for the G/L accounts is correct.

Also review note 175960 for more information if the account is open item managed.

Thanks

Muthu
