Hello Ali,

You can define the zero-balance setting in Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting, you can configure the G/L account where the clearing posting is made. 

Configuration can be performed in IMG menu path

Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account

SAP OSS note 961937 recommends the following settings for zero-balancing clearing account.

  • Post Automatically only – select “Yes” “To generate the zero balance clearing items of the new General Ledger, the system updates the zero balance clearing account in the relevant new General Ledger only.  When doing so, the system never creates entries in the tables of the entry view (BSEG, BSIS, BSAS) for this account”
  • Line item display – select “No” “As this account is a purely technical clearing account that is only updated in the tables of the new General Ledger but not in the entry view (BSEG, BSIS), corresponding line items that are managed in the BSIS cannot be made available.”
  • Only balances in local currency – select “Yes” “The posting to this technical zero balance clearing account should not affect the foreign currency valuation.”
  • Assign to Item Category – Select “01001” This is a SAP defined item category for self-balancing GL Account.

For more details pls chk these links.

Hi,

In such case you need to do transfer posting only.

Hi,

You can also do so by transferring balance through F-30 and using option Transfer posting with clearing.

We are enclosing SAP note 961937 for your reference.

Hello Muhammad,

what I understand here is that there is a matter of dissolution for this company code not a resetting to zero as resetting to zero means you will erase all the company code data and i don't think this is what you want. please clarify.

yes 80% of company is sold now we have to run the remaning  20% of company transactions in SAP so for that we want to start every thing from zero level

Even though I don't think that it should go this way, however you can use obr1 to reset company code data. then you will be responsible for re-migrate the remaining 20%
