Consolidation group changes

[Former Member]

I'm implementing BCS and I have a problem while executing the task: consolidation group changes.

I've created 2 tasks, one for initial data and another for consolidated data, and each one has the document types assigned for divestiture, aquisition and method change in a total number of 9 document types.

My balance sheet items plus my income statement items equals to zero.

When I configure a divestiture and execute the task, the following message occurs:

Balance sheet/income statement balance 12.610,12- BRL

Diagnosis

The document to be posted is not completely in balance.

Entries involving items of the balance sheet or the income statement must always have a zero balance to ensure that both the balance sheet and the income statement are balanced, respectively. This is not true in this case.

System Response

Entry cannot be posted.

Procedure

Correct the amounts for the balance sheet items and/or income statement items

I've checked last month balance and actual balancete which were uploaded into BCS, and they're balanced (assets + liabilities + income = 0).

What could be wrong?

Please, can anyone help me?

Hi Beatriz and welcome to SDN!

This error message means that your net profit in P&L differs from retained erarnings in balance sheet (they are both, the special/selected items in the system settings) on this amount 12610,12. Most likely, you didn't proper define the special items.

Here is some info how the special items work:

Hope this helps.
