FI documents no longer editable after balance carry forward run

[former_member559256]

Hi,

In SAP FI, after the balance carry forward has been run for a company code XXXX, to fiscal year 2021, I am no longer able to edit documents in FY 2020. Is this by design?

Before this process run, there were some custom coding blocks fields enabled for input. I am working on adjusting these coding block fields to make sure less entries will be carry forwarded to the new fiscal year.

Though this process I am doing is currently in dev systems, I am no longer able to continue because the coding block fields that were editable now is display only.

My questions here are

• Can we reset the balance carry forward process? I tried this option but what it does is reset and rerun the balance carry forward process.
• How do I make my FY 2020 document for the company code XXXX editable again?

Any help much appreciated. thank you.

SAP updates the entries with Compan Code, Ledger and Carry forwarded to fiscal year in table FAGL_CARRY_FORW table.

Deleting entries from FAGL_CARRY_FORW for the company code and carry forwarded year seems to kind of reset the carry forward process. I have done this in dev/qa systems, not sure if this is the right approach for production.

I am now able to edit the the documents. Hope this might help some.

You need to check OB32(Header) and OB32A(Line Item) to see if which fields have "Field Can Be Changed" ticked on or not. You can also get to this in SPRO

Financial Accounting(New) --> Financial Accounting Global Settings(New) --> Document --> Rules for Changing Documents

Here you can verfiy Header and Line Item fields for changing.
