Balance carryforward of actual data from SAP to SAC Planning system

Hi All,

We are using the standard CDS view `IFIACTPLNJEIC` to extract accounting data from SAP S/4HANA into SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) within a planning model via the "Import Connection" feature in the "New Model Type Using Account Dimension."

In SAC, we display the balance sheet and profit/loss statements based on this accounting data, and the business subsequently performs planning activities within SAC.

For balance sheet, it is essential to have balance carryforward data from one year to the next year to show the balances correctly.

Currently, our option is to manually load the ACDOCA-BTTYPE = RFBC` (balance carryforward) transaction data through Data Management -> Import Jobs in the model. However, due to the large volume of data (more than 100 million) in RFBC, I am looking for a more efficient way to obtain balance carryforward data in SAC planning models for subsequent years.

The main question is: How can we effectively load balance carryforward data from SAP to SAC?

Given that `RFBC involves a significant data volume, is there a more efficient method to carry forward transactions from one fiscal year to the next in SAC?

For example, while viewing the balance sheet how can we carry forward inventory balances from FY 2023 to FY 2024 in SAC, so that if a user only selects May 2024, he can view the cumulative balance, i.e., sum of entries posted in FY 2023 + April/May 2024.

Best regards,
Gavin.

Hi Gavin,

IFIACTPLNJEIC is  the technical view name of CDS view I_ActualPlanJrnlEntryItemCube. Not sure how you consume this in SAC where the S/4HANA import connection is based on OData services. Probably you are using OData service API_JOURNALENTRYITEMBASIC_SRV that uses the above CDS view underneath. However, this OData service and the CDS view underneath are not suited for extracting the opening balance. Therefore we have a separate OData service UI_FINS_GLACCOUNTFLOW. See documentation https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/48f4b4785b8e45938ac44a67be8032d9/3020da2c5b1b48d88c3...
