Environment

SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Public edition

Reproducing the Issue

Run "Post B/S Reclassification - Maturity" in Scheduled General Ledger Jobs for affected Company Code in Test Run.
Observe that for affected Vendor, the system groups items with a reference in the assignment field, while ignoring others, resulting in incorrect calculations as the overall balance is a credit.

Cause

The issue is caused by the default grouping rules applied by the system, which group line items based on a combination of G/L account, business partner, and assignment reference.

Resolution

Utilize the grouping rules available for B/S Reclassification to address the issue:

Use grouping rule "3FLB" to group individual line items by G/L account and business partner.
Use grouping rule "4FLB" to group individual line items by G/L account only.

Configuration steps:

1. Navigate to the configuration activity Define Rules for B/S Reclassification by Maturity (ID: 105454).
2. Under Define Steps of a Reclassification-Maturity Rule, assign one of the new grouping rules (3FLB or 4FLB) to your reclassification rule.
3.
