BCS Calculation for retained earnings

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using BCS 4.0 and I have two questions

How can I calculate the retained earnings of the current period ? it's calculated in R/3 through the financial statements structure, so I don't have data in any item after upload.

I'm using 0FIGL_O02 for financial data upload, this infoprovider has line items, so is necessary a balance carryforward execution every month?

I really appreciate your details ... I'm very inexpert !!!

Thanks in advance

Hi Nayeli and welcome to SDN!

It's not clear either you use a consolidation total records cube or 0FIGL_O02 only.

For a proper consolidation in BCS you must to provide totals records for the totals cube, including all items for balance sheet and income statement.

If you have them, you may calculate RE as I described here:

In BCS a balance carryforward is to be done once a year, during the year change.

Balances at the end of each month within a year are calculated as the beginning balances plus all accounts movements.

Best regards,

Eugene
