Zero Balance Clearing account several years after implementation

Former Member

Hi All

We are using Zero Balance clearing Account for business area dimension (defined as Balance Sheet item) and is working fine.

However, balances in each business areas (Document splitting based on BA) is going up year after year.

This is typically happening as one of Business area is taking majority of credit postings and all debits are predominantly

going to remaining Business Areas. (Total balance at Company code is nil and there is no issue with that).

Can anyone through some light how such ever growing balances are managed generally so that amount length

does not become very big.

Thanks in Advance..

Regards

Hi Sathish,

If you are doing cross BA transactions definitely the zero balance clearing a/c will show balance forever. So you cannot restrict it. This account also called as branch transfers.

Thanks Mukthar

My concern is balances should not become so big that field length for amount becomes a constraint (23 Characters length in FAGLFLEXT table). Even otherwise, size may become so big that it may be difficult to display / manage in reports. It is becoming difficult to explain the characteristic of the balance at Business Area level in F.01 Report.

Has anyone faced such situation and how was handled i wanted to know.
