When running the year end close (General ledger > Period close > Year end close) in one legal entity, one account with main account type balance sheet is not transferred over to the new year. Instead, its closing balance is added to the retained earnings account for that legal entity. From what I'm being told by our financial consultant, that should only happen for accounts with a profit and loss account type.
This only happens for one of multiple legal entities. In other legal entities, the trial balance (General ledger > Inquiries and reports > Trial balance) is showing the expected entry for the account.
The general ledger parameters for fiscal year close are
- Delete existing year-end entries when re-closing the year: Yes
- Create closing transactions during transfer: No
- Set fiscal year status to permanently closed: No
- Use Fund dimension for year-end transactions: No
- Track year-end closing entries created during Purchase year end process: No
Same settings in the other legal entities where it works.
Not sure what other settings might be of interest. Our financial consultant tells me that no other settings should have an impact on how a balance sheet account gets processed.
I already spent a few hours debugging the logic. Due to the fact that some parts are executed in parallel across multiple batch tasks/threads and the overall complexity of the logic, it is slow going. So I'm hoping someone might have come across something similar or has an idea what to check.
