3655345 - Closing Records Not Reflected in Trial Balance App in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Posting amounts for year-end closing transactions are not reflected in the Trial Balance application.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Execute year-end closing transactions. For example using application "Closing/Opening Postings at Year End"
  2. Open the Trial Balance application and check for the presence of the closing records.
  3. Observe that the closing records are not reflected in the Trial Balance application.

Cause

The Trial Balance application in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is designed to exclude postings with GLRecordType = '5', which corresponds to special year-end closing postings.

Resolution

Please refer to the official SAP documentation for the Trial Balance application:

SAP Help - Trial Balance.

Note that the documentation explicitly states: "This app does not support including closing/opening year-end postings."

Use the "Display G/L Account Balances" application to verify year-end closing postings. This app provides a filter for Year-End Closing Postings, allowing users to view GLRecordType = '5' entries.
