3782886 - Debit/Credit totals increase in G/L balance after running "realign group reporting preparation ledger" due to realignment postings

GRPL-document generated by realignment will increase the total amount of debit and credit.

After running "Realign Group Reporting Preparation Ledger", the debit/credit amounts in G/L account balance reports are higher than before.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The realignment job posts correction entries in Accounting with a GR-type business transaction (for example, GRRA). These create one reversing line and one reposting line (for consolidation fields such as FS item), which increases the summed debit and credit turnover in G/L balance lists even though the net effect is zero.

The reported issue is not a program error.

For example,  In the original posting GL Account 1001010000 was not mapped with an FS Item, therefore FS item “&NOMAPBS” with Posting Key 40 in ACDOCA

As a next step, you made the Mapping GL Account 1001010000 = with FS Item 1001010000

You executed the Realignment function and the FS Item 1001010000 was exchanged the “&NOMAPBS” with Business Transaction Type = GRRA. （GR 类型）

Once with Posting Key 50 reversing the original record “&NOMAPBS” and once with Posting Key 40 showing the newly assigned FS Item 1001010000。

This is realignment logic which make sure you can have correct Consolidation fields in FI side , so we can transfer them into Group reporting side via RUJ task correctly.

If you want improve this feature, you can raise it in SAP Customer Influence  This platform allows customers to submit improvement requests and vote on them. The Product Owners at GR Development will review these requests for feasibility and consider them for future releases.

Or you can disable GRPL functionality and use old Classic method.
