SAF-T Portugal opening balance excluded carry forward postings

[timbown]

We are running the program FAGL_YEC_POSTINGS_EHP4 to post P/L balances to the balance sheet account.

This works ok, and can see the postings are made with record type 5.

When running the SAFT extract, these journals appear in the file as expected.

However these c/f postings are not included in the opening and closing balance figures.

PWC are telling us that account codes that start by “6” or “7” do not have the “ClosingDebitBalance” or the “ClosingCreditBalance” fields filled in with “0,00”, as expected. At the end of the year, all accounts in classes 6 and 7 should be transferred to the account code “8180000”, in order to determine the net result for the period.

I looked at the SAFT program and it uses RFBILA00 to get the opening and closing balances. This program does not look at record type 5. So either PWC are wrong or SAP does not work correctly.

Any suggestions ?

I solved it myself, RFBILA00 has a new parameter P_XGLYEC which is set in the calling program from SAFT.

When set, the c/f postings are included in the balances

However we had not installed the SAP note 1845459 to add this parameter to RFBILA00, and it is not mentioned in any of the SAFT notes.

Unfortunately we are applying notes individually because client has not kept up to date with support packs.
