SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAA_CMP - Asset Accounting: Configuration Object Company Code

• Message number: 090

• Message text: Ldgr &1: Balance carryforward necessary before you reopen the fiscal year

What causes this issue?

So that you can reopen a fiscal year for ledger &V1&, you must have
executed a balance carryforward at least once.
The reason for this is that once a balance carryforward has been
executed successfully, then the system activates the function for the
automatic balance carryforward. The automatic balance carryforward
ensures that when you make subsequent postings to previous fiscal years,
a balance carryforward is executed automatically in subsequent fiscal
years.
If you were to reopen a fiscal year without first executing a balance
carryforward for the ledger, postings from this fiscal year would
<ZH>not</> be correctly carried forward to the current fiscal year.

System Response
