Displaying an Account Balance 

Use

From the SAP Easy Access screen, you can display the balances of all turnover classes defined for the selected account on the Balances tab page. You do this by choosing Account Management ® Account ® Turnovers, Balances and Key Figures ® Display Account Key Figures. The system finds the balance during the selected period of time for the account flows of the selected turnover class(es), if this period of time is after the last archiving run.

The balance is displayed either for each posting date or each value date according to your choice.

You can choose how the system is to calculate the balance: You are provided with the following options:

·        Period balance

·        Aggregated balance

You can obtain the current aggregated balance by choosing Available Amount in the initial screen for this transaction

·        Turnover

The system displays the debit/credit turnovers and the balanced turnover for each day in the chosen period. There is no cumulation during the chosen period, however the debit and credit amount totals are calculated separately.

The information provided here on account balances for certain periods of time can, for example, be used as follows:

·        For the display functions for account balances in the Posting Control Office, if you have installed it.

·        For the definition of account settlement conditions.

·        To track different types of flow totals on an account.

For more information on the business object Account Balance and each calculation method, see Account Balance in the SAP Library.

Prerequisites

You have defined one or more turnover classes in the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM) under Item Management ® Turnover Classes for Flexible Account Balances ® Define Turnover Class and either assigned them to the condition group type or the account product of the selected account.

For more information on the options that you have when you assign turnover classes, see the documentation in the IMG activity mentioned above.
