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
- Import a bank account closing balance using the app “Manage Bank Account Balances.”
- Confirm the balance is visible in “Manage Bank Account Balances.”
- 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.
- 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
- Verify the Value Date of the imported Closing balance in “Manage Bank Account Balances.”
- Open “Short-Term Cash Positioning” for the following Value Date and confirm the imported Closing Balance appears as the Opening Balance.
- 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.
- 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).
