the current fiscal year.


System Response

How to fix this error?

You must perform a balance carryforward.
<ZH>Example</>
You have an initial company code for which you want to execute a legacy
data transfer at the end of the year. The fiscal year corresponds to the
calendar year. The system should be used productively from 1.1. of the
current fiscal year. You perform the legacy data transfer on 12.31. of
the previous year.
You have made the following settings for your company code: The current
fiscal year (YYYY) is opened, the previous year (fiscal year YYYY-1) is
closed. You have defined the transfer date as 12.31.YYYY-1 for the
legacy data transfer.
The balance carryforward is necessary to carryforward values of the
legacy data transfer from the year YYYY-1 to the current fiscal year
(YYYY).
