Symptom

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Go to Overview view.
  3. Find migration of accounting transaction data activity.
  4. Press open.
  5. Press migrate accounting transaction data using the migration tool.
  6. Select the respective migration unit.
  7. Execute migration and validate file.
  8. You can see an error: The sum of the balances is not zero.

Cause

The balance of the entries is not zero in the migration template for G/L account balances.

One possible cause is the company currency and line-item currency is wrongly maintained in the migration template.

For example, customer has maintained different company currencies and the same line-item currency.

This is incorrect as there should be only one company currency, and customer can maintain different line-item currencies.

Resolution

You need to correctly maintain the company currency and line-item currency to realize the balance of the entries is zero.
