Following the changeover to the euro, documents that previously balanced out to zero no longer do so due to rounding differences. This causes problems if one or more of these documents was posted in the current fiscal year. This problem arises from the method by which transaction figures are corrected.

The system uses the transaction figures from the last closed fiscal year as the basis for the current fiscal year's figures. These transaction figures already include the transactions completed in the old fiscal year and therefore do not need to be corrected. Following changeover, you cannot reset cleared items. All other transactions must be corrected since, in the case of accounts managed on an open item basis for example, the balance of open items and the account balance will otherwise not agree.

Report RFEWUS0C selects the clearing transactions and writes them to table EWUFI_SCA. Report RFEWUC0C adjusts and carries out an update posting for these entries.

Adjustment takes place by posting a new document both to the account in question and to an adjustment account. The system enters the clearing date of the transaction in the line item of the account to be adjusted. This procedure holds for all G/L, customer, and vendor accounts managed on an open item basis.

For these documents, you need to define the corresponding G/L accounts as offsetting accounts and create them in the company codes that are likely to be affected. You do this in Customizing. You must also define a document type and G/L account posting key for debit and credit postings respectively. You should create the document type afresh (using internal number assignment for the number range). Documentation on how to create a document type can be found in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
