Executing a Balance Sheet Transfer

Prerequisites

There must be no posted flows after the key date of the balance sheet transfer in the securities accounts concerned. If flows do exist, you have to reverse them before you begin the balance sheet transfer, and post them again afterwards. An error message lists the flows to be reversed.

You have to run period-end closing on the key date of the balance sheet transfer. Execute a Period-end closing for all securities accounts affected and all securities accounts which have been valued (valuation category 20 or portfolio valuation). An error message appears if there are any open flows before the key date.

In Customizing for securities, you must assign flow types to all the flow categories that are required for the balance sheet transfer by choosing Assign Flow Types to Flow Category. See also: Flow categories for the balance sheet transfer
