In this activity, you transfer the opening balances already created in Controlling for statistical key figures.
If the values are changed in Controlling following the transfer, and the online transfer is active for actual data (see Set Control Parameters for Actual Data ), changes are updated automatically in Profit Center Accounting.
In a production run, the system deletes any existing figures when the opening balance is generated. The system only deletes key figures for the selected object type. Key figures that were entered directly in Profit Center Accounting are not deleted.
You can therefore repeat this transaction as often as you like, without the risk of multiple entries or loss of data. In addition to online transfer, it is therefore also useful when you wish to transfer statistical key figures periodically.
Further notes
If you carry out a test run, the system only creates a transfer log.
