Hi Sharmila,

To answer your questions, BCF stands for "Balance Carryforward" function which can be used to determine the opening balance of the subledger for financial instruments in Bank Analyzer for the current fiscal year. Here you will find a detailed documentation on Balance Carryforward function.

Balance Carryforward is part of year-end processing. Find out details on all the processes in the AFI Scenario of SAP Bank Analyzer in the following documentation link (including BCF and other steps).

hi Vyusal,

We are in sAFI. i was able to execute BCF successfully. Now the client requirement is to execute BCF quarterly. Is this feasible in the standard functionality. If so can we make use of the variant functionality and how?

Thanks,
