– Controlling area for which you want to transfer the opening balance.

– Fiscal year for which you want to transfer the opening balance.

When you transfer CO statistical key figures with type 1 (fixed values) into FI-SL, the value entered in the document is transferred as a total value (not as a delta value) and is therefore valid for all follow-up periods up to the year-end.

The opening balance must therefore be transferred before statistical key figures are updated in FI-SL. If statistical key figure data already exists in FI-SL before the first data transfer, incorrect data will be updated in FI-SL.

When you use program RGUREC40, you must specify whether existing key figures in FI-SL are to be deleted before the data transfer:

– Select No deletion in FI-SL if you do not want to delete existing key figures in FI-SL before the data transfer.

– Select Delete FI-SL data for all yrs if you want to delete existing key figures in FI-SL for all years before the data transfer (if several fiscal year variants are used).

– Select Delete FI-SL data for year if you want to delete existing key figures in FI-SL for the current year before the data transfer (if one fiscal year variant is used).

– If you want to view a list of statistics for the data transfer, set the List desired indicator.

– If you only want to test the data transfer, set the Test run indicator. The FI-SL databases are not updated when you set this indicator.

You should exercise caution when using program RGUREC30 in dialog when other users are posting. In this case, you should transfer old data only. It is recommended that you start this program when other users are not posting in your system.
