RTC: How do we perform Balance Carry Forward functionality in Period 00 of Next year

[former_member540457]

Hi Experts,

We are implementing Real Time Consolidation on S4 HANA on premise 1610 Release stack 02(05/2017) FP.

For Balance Carry Forward functionality, we have run the Business rule via the task sequence. The balances are posted as opening balances in period 01 of the next year. We have used the Fiscal Year variant as K4 ( 12 periods and 4 special periods).

I see in articles that for RTC we need to do Balance Carry forward in period 00 of the opening year.

So I have 2 questions:

1. Will there be any consequences if I balance carry forward in period 01.

2. With Fiscal Year variant as K4, I don't see how can I do the BCF in period 00. When I run BCF in January (Period 01), the last year closing balances are carried forward. May you suggest as to how can I achieve to carry forward balances in period 00.
