Symptom
When the fiscal year changes, the Special G/L Indicator is not displayed for the starting balance in the current fiscal year in the Trial Balance app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
The special G/L indicator is used to determine the alternative reconciliation account when journal entry items are posted. It is a line item field and is not carried forward to the next fiscal year.
So, there will always be starting balances with an initial Special G/L Indicator in the Trial Balance app. This works as designed.
To fulfill balance reporting requirements, it is required to configure dedicated alternative G/L accounts for each special G/L indicator and account type, in the granularity required for reporting.
