Symptom
- In Journal Entry Analyzer app, displays a balance carryforward row with "Customer #Not assigned" for new fiscal year.
Or - In Trial Balance app, a balance without customer assignment appears in a reconciliation G/L account and is traced to a balance carryforward posting for the new fiscal year.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2602
Reproducing the Issue
- Perform foreign currency valuation for the customer reconciliation G/L account and make postings to fiscal year 2025, after the auto balance carryforward to fiscal year 2026 has been completed.
- The Online Balance Carry Forward program will NOT carry customer fields for the Foreign Currency Valuation postings to fiscal year 2026
- In Journal Entry Analyzer, a balance without customer assignment appears in a reconciliation G/L account and is traced to a balance carryforward posting for the new fiscal year.
Cause
It's a known defect in the online Balance Carryforward (BCF) program for account type "G/L account" (koart = S) can lead to carryforward lines without customer/suppliers fields and inconsistencies when advanced valuation postings are involved.
Resolution
As workaround, Rerun Balance Carryforward manually for the affected ledger/company code from the prior fiscal year into the new fiscal year to recalculate carryforward balances, ensuring advanced valuation postings are included.
SAP will fix the bug for online BCF and deliver the code changes with main release instead of hotfix. The timeline for the fix has not been determined yet.
