3383570 - Absolute Difference in the Reconciliation Run for Tax Subledger

Symptom

You execute a Reconciliation Run for Tax subledger for period BBB and see an absolute difference amount(BBB represents the accounting period). You want to know what causes the difference.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to Reconciliation view.
  3. Search for run ID.
  4. Under tax tab-VAT / Sales Tax Balances subtab, you can see that there is an absolute difference amount.

Cause

One possible reason is that you reverse a journal entry which is posted in a previous period, e.g. AAA.  And you post the reversal journal entry to a later period, e.g. CCC. This will lead to differences in the Reconciliation Run between accounting period AAA and CCC(AAA and CCC represent the accounting period).

Resolution

This is the expected behavior. The difference is caused by the reversal postings.
