Constraints on the Changeover (EC-PCA)

Inconsistencies are likely to arise in several instances due to rounding differences. This can occur in the following instances:

The sum of the line items may not correspond precisely to the value in the totals record.
A profit center that had a balance of 0 before the conversion will have a value following the conversion.
The balance of all secondary cost elements in one controlling area may no longer be 0.
Reversing postings created before the conversion may not result in a balance of 0.
Values stored in difference currencies before the conversion (for example profit center currency FRF and local currency DEM) may show different amounts in euros after the conversion.
Period data will be consistent again starting with the first period following the local currency changeover.
The G/L account balances in FI and EC-PCA are no longer consistent.

You can find and reconcile rounding differences between FI and EC-PCA using program RCOPCA44. For more information, see Postprocessing in Profit Center Accounting in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
