Symptom

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  2. Go to the Design Reports view.
  3. Search and open the report Accounts Payable - Balance Audit Trail and enter the required data in the selection field.
  4. Choose the option Apply.
  5. The balance is XXX (XXX refers to the Balance Company Currency).
  6. Now, open the report Trial Balance and enter the required details.
  7. Choose Apply.
  8. The balance is YYY (YYY refers to the Ending Balance Company Currency).

The difference between the report is due to postings executed without subledger involvement, such as manual journal entry voucher postings or balance carryforward postings. The Accounts Payable - Balance Audit Trail Report does not take these postings into account.
