Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Business Configuration work center.
- Go to Overview view.
- Find migration of accounting transaction data activity.
- Press open.
- Press migrate accounting transaction data using the migration tool.
- Select the respective migration unit.
- Execute migration and validate file.
- 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.
