Opening Balances for Reconciliation (tfgld4195m000)

Use this session to create an opening balance for reconciliation if this is required to balance the reports.

Creating an opening balance can be required in the following situations:

  • If you archive transactions that still contribute to the business objects to be reconciled, for example, for long-term projects and orders, you can create an opening balance for the business object. In the Operations Management - Financial Reconciliation (tfgld4595m000) session, select a transaction and on the appropriate menu, click Create Reconciliation Opening Balance.
  • If you start using LN, you must enter the existing balances of your ledger accounts as opening balances in Financials. As part of the reconciliation setup, the same opening balances must also be created in the Reconciliation Data (tfgld495) table for the reconciliation groups that you use, for example, for Work in Progress (WIP) accounts and Inventory accounts.
Note: The opening balance only affects the logged Reconciliation Data (tfgld495) table and is used to generate the reconciliation reports. No transactions are posted to the ledger accounts.
