Balance carried forward differs from closing balance of the previous year. This can occur both in the G/L account transaction figures (general ledger) and in the statistical ledgers (extended general ledger).
This can possibly be caused by a posting to prior periods - two or more fiscal years into the past; (year before last and more).
When posting to a prior period, an automatic balance carried forward is made into the next fiscal year but not further.
If you, for example, post from 1995 to 1993, the automatic balance carried forward is only made for 1994 - 1995 is not considered.
SAP does not plan a cascading balance function.
When posting to prior periods by two years or more, you must initiate a correction of the balance carried forward yourself.
You have to restart the balance carried forward program (FI-GL: SAPF011 for the G/L account transaction figures, FI-SL: SAPFGVTR for the special ledger) for all fiscal years in question, ending with the current fiscal year.
This means for the above example that you have to execute the balance carried forward program for the fiscal year = 1995. If the current fiscal year is 1995, then the balance carried forward is correctly adjusted again.
