Former Member

Hello,

Can anybody tell me where to assign the retained earning account in the financial statement structure. Do I have to assign the retained earning account under the capital position or at the end after the profit and loss result as a double check that the result in the P/L is same as in the Balance sheet?

thanks for your help

Kline,

You assign retained earning in FSP0 in detailed control for P&L Statement Account and define P&L Statement Acct Type in OB53.

Kline,

In my company (country : Indonesia) we assign RE Account in Financial Statement version (OB58) like this :

BALANCE SHEET

          ASSETS                                                                                    >> Special Item

          LIABILITIES & STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY                                   >> Special Item

                    CURRENT LIABILITIES

                    NON CURRENT LIABILITIES

                    STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

                              ..........

                              ..........

                              RETAINED EARNINGS

                                        Retained Earnings-Appropriated

                                        Retained Earnings-Unappropriated

                                                  Retained Earnings-Unappropriated

                                                       G/L Account RE

                                                  Net Result: Profit                                >> Special Item

                                                  Net Result: Loss                                >> Special Item

Hope this can help you.

Hi Kline,

You assign retained earning account in financial statement structure using OB58. Then you put/assign retained earning account on special item 'Liabilities+Equity'. For Special Item in FS structure is marked by red foreground.

Many thanks Venkat,

but unfortunately the documentation does not show where in the balance sheet structur do you assign the retained earnings account. could you pls double check in your balanc e sheet structure. I assigned it now under the capital in the liability position, but i think it might has to go under the P/L result. thanks GK
