COMMENTS AND NOTES Execute transaction code F.07– Balance Carry Forward

Introduction: This program calculates the balance carried forward for customers and/or vendors. The balances of the previous year are carried forward to the new year. If the account has not yet been posted in the new year and no balance carried forward has been carried out for this account, the account is opened in the new year with the 1st balance carried forward; otherwise, the balance carried forward of the account is stored in the new year if changes result. SAP recommends that the program is run at the beginning of the new fiscal year. If the program is already run at the end of the last fiscal year, postings which are posted after this to the last fiscal year, do not result in automatic adjustment of the balance carried forward because it is not a "posting to a previous year". In such a case, it is necessary to let the program run again after these postings to carry forward the postings entered later. The program can be started as often as desired.
