3383570 - Absolute Difference in the Reconciliation Run for Tax Subledger

Symptom

Execute a Reconciliation Run for Tax subledger for period BBB and see an absolute difference amount(BBB represents the accounting period). What's the cause of this 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, see that there is an absolute difference amount.

Cause

One possible reason is that a journal entry which is posted in a previous period (e.g. AAA. ) is reversed to a different period (e.g. CCC).

Due to the reversal journal entry is posted to a later period CCC, there are 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.
