Allow Balances to be carried forward in EC-PCA

[Former Member]

Hello Sdner's

The option for Allow Balances to be carried forward is misleading in EC-PCA.

1. Why the option for balance carry forward allowed or Balance carry forward not allowed is given.

2. End of every year, balances need to be carry forwarded to profit centres, hence the p/l account becomes zero increasing the retained earning account, which is given in the option for maintain retained earnings account.

3. What are the scenario for which balance carry forward for a profit centre is not allowed.

Regards,

Keith.

Hi,

please have a look at the note 828230 for general information regarding the balance carry forward into Profitcenter Accounting.

Your solution was helpful understanding the basics.

But still I am not able to think of a business scenario, why SAP has given the option for NOT TO CARRY FORWARD THE BALANCES
