Hi,

According to me the option would be to create new (Balance Sheet) GL account, assign the same to FSV, then move the balance from old GL (P&L in nature) to New GL (Balance Sheet) and then block the old GL. By this the balance would be displayed in new GL and also carry forward can take place.

Malhar.

Hi,

note 3844 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.

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. Please see also documentation for SAPF011 in se38.

(Error message FH602 can be changed into a warning in transaction OBA5 -

transaction OBA5 to change the message from error to warning. This has to be done before changing the G/L account.)

Best regards Bernhard
