Use of Program rfopenposting_fr in New GL for FEC filing

[Poonam87]

Hi,

My client has migrated this year from classic GL to New GL. Now, they have a requirement to submit the FEC file for previous 3 years. As per the process suggested by SAP below sequence need to be followed:

1. Run Program RFOPENPOSTING_FR with Tcode SE38 or Tcode FAGL_FR_03 to populate Balances

2. FTW1A for extraction

3. FTWH for execution and generation of FEC file.

Now, I need to know if

a. the first step needs to be carried for last 3 years (2022, 2023 and 2024) individually?

b. Also, as they were on classic GL for last 3 years and now on new GL, will this program read balances in new GL correctly?

Regards,

Poonam

Didn't your company/customer already generate some Opening Balances and FEC extraction for the 3 last years in classic GL (this file should be mandatory since 2014?)

Yes they have. But now they are on new GL, so my question was if I will be able to run the same program in new GL. Furthermore, do I need to run the program thrice i.e. once for each past year.

Can you still see the previous opening balance documents after switching to the new GL (use FB03 as these documents should not be displayed with FAGLL03 / FAGLB03) So you should only have to generate the opening balance of 2025?

If postings have already been created for the target fiscal year, the system should issue a warning or error message (since 2021?)

Balance was uploaded in new GL by the client in 2024. This balance is of 2021/2022/2023 Fiscal years. furthermore, I executed FAGL_FR_03 for year 2021 and the field BKPF-BSTAT was correctly updated to O. Next, FTW1A and FTWH has been done correctly. Now, when I again execute the program FAGL_FR_03 for year 2022, I cannot see the field BKPF-BSTAT updated. Is there any issue?
