[As per standard practice single retained earnings account is used in a company code. In such cases, once a
retained earning account is declared in OB53 then sap by default assigns this retained earnings account to each
and every profit & loss GL account.
But in rare cases when more than one retained earnings account is created and declared in OB53, then while
creating GL master for profit & lose account one has to choose retained earnings account manually.]
At the end of year, balance carry forward program (FAGLGVTR) is executed to move balances to the
next year.
1. Balance in profit & loss accounts is carried to next year using retained earnings (RE) account.
2. Balance amount is carried forward in local currency.
3. Retained earning amount is carried forward without any account assignment like cost center, profit
center, internal order or WBS.
1. Year-end balance of balance sheet accounts, customer, and vendor is carried forward using the same
GL account.
2. Balance sheet balance is carried forward with account assignment.
Note: No accounting document is posted when year end carry forward program is execucted. Balances are
simply moved to next year without any document getting posted.
