3744888 - Closing Balance import not visible in Short-Term Cash Positioning (appears as next-day opening) – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • After importing a closing bank account balance in the app “Manage Bank Account Balances,” the balance does not appear in the app “Short-Term Cash Positioning” for the same day.
  • Running the “Bank Account Balance Initialization” job does not make the same-day balance appear in “Short-Term Cash Positioning.”
  • No error messages are mentioned.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Import a bank account closing balance using the app “Manage Bank Account Balances.”
  2. Confirm the balance is visible in “Manage Bank Account Balances.”
  3. Open the app “Short-Term Cash Positioning” for the same value date and observe that the balance is not reflected as opening balance for that day.
  4. Run the “Bank Account Balance Initialization” schedule and observe that the same-day opening balance is still not updated.

Cause

It is by design, a Closing Balance imported for a given Value Date is reflected as the Opening Balance on the following Value Date in the “Short-Term Cash Positioning” app, it is not displayed as the Opening Balance on the same day.

Resolution

  1. Verify the Value Date of the imported Closing balance in “Manage Bank Account Balances.”
  2. Open “Short-Term Cash Positioning” for the following Value Date and confirm the imported Closing Balance appears as the Opening Balance.
  3. If the goal is to show today’s Opening balance, import the Closing balance for the previous day; do not expect today’s imported closing balance to appear as today’s opening balance.
  4. Optionally run the “Bank Account Balance Initialization” schedule to recalculate balances if needed; note this does not change the by-design mapping of closing (day D) to opening (day D+1).
