To carry out the closing operations in G/L accounting, you first need to carry out the closing
operations in the sub-ledger accounting areas you are using. These include:
Accounts receivable and accounts payable accounting
Inventory accounting
Asset accounting
Year-end closing
At the beginning of the new fiscal year, you open new posting periods and carry forward the
balances from the previous year.
The SAP System offers a range of reports with which you can carry forward balances into the new
fiscal year. During this process, the profit and loss accounts are carried forward to one or more
retained earnings accounts. The balances of the balance sheet accounts are simply carried forward
into the new fiscal year. You do not have to create special opening financial statements.
Any postings you make in the old fiscal year automatically adjust the relevant carry-forward balance.
You do not have to close the old fiscal year and carry out the closing postings before opening the
new fiscal year.
As with month-end closing, you can create all the external reports required, document the posting
data, and carry out the internal evaluations.

The balances of the previous year are carried forward to the new year. When posting into a previous
year, the system carries forward the balance automatically. This is independent of whether the
program has already run or not. “posting to a previous year” means that the posting date of the
document has an earlier year than the entry date. SAP recommends that the program is run at the
beginning of the new fiscal year. If the program is already run at the end of the last fiscal year,
postings which are posted after this to the last fiscal year, do not result in automatic adjustment of
This program is used to carry forward the balances of the general ledger or another ledger to the
new fiscal year. The program can be run multiple times.
Normally, the program does not need to be run more than once, since postings to the previous fiscal
year are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year, if the balance carry forward program
has already been run.
Balance sheet accounts are transferred with all additional account assignments.
P&L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings account. Additional account
assignments are not transferred. The transaction currencies are not transferred and are
totaled in the local currency.
Balance sheet accounts have balances for the new year and P/L account balances have been posted
into retained earnings. Retained earnings account will get a 'ghost posting' to represent the earnings
for the year.
Year-end closing in FI-AA blocks the values of previous fiscal years against a recalculation of the
depreciation. This ensures that the balanced values of the fixed assets cannot be changed
retrospectively. It is therefore essential for your financial reporting that you execute this program.
Before you execute the fiscal year change in FI-AA, you must have completed the following:
2. Settle all assets under construction that were completed in the fiscal year you want to close
3. Any depreciation simulations and adjustments to depreciation records for asset acquisitions in
the fiscal year to be closed.
4. Depreciation postings for the final period of the fiscal year to be closed
You have to carry out the year-end closing as background processing for performance reasons. Start
the report, therefore, as a background job (in the selection screen for the report: Program Exec. in
background). You can carry out test runs with fewer than 1000 assets in the foreground.

exchange rates. Users receive authorization to enter exchange rates at the worklist level.

worklist level during editing. You can assign each combination of exchange rate type, from and to
currencies to one worklist only.
Activities

2. Enter a worklist and a short description. You can assign a maintenance interval to the
worklist (for example, every five days) and a tolerance limit. If you do not enter a tolerance
limit, the system does not perform a tolerance check.
