Subitem in Balance Carry Forward

[Robert_Jan_Bron]

IN the balance carry forward we have defined that the amount on the FS-item with FS item Role S-ANI-BS in the old year should be booked to the FS-Item with Role S-RETAINED-EARNINGS. We defined subitem M21for this temporarely.

When checking the data in the group data analysis we see that this works fine on the FS Items, but in stat of opening and than perform the booking, we se the amount is directly deducted from the opening.

Is this a bug? Did i forgot something on implementation or does this work as designed (in that case, what is the use of the subitem field in this screen?)

That's almost what I would expect to see. It's not a reclass within period 000, but more of an account transformation between 012/N-1 to 000/N. So, I'd expect it to all be one action within the BCF, not showing a second reclass set of document lines.

But looking just at that portion of the configuration, I'd expect your "we see" example to show the balance under M21 instead of M00. I believe there's config in the subitems itself that probably says 300 rolls to M00, but I've never tried to configure the screen above inconsistent to the subitem config. I'm not sure if it's just the ANI/RE accounts that might have this quirk, or if it would also apply if you used a general balance sheet account and tried to roll forward to a non-M00 subitem.
