• Message number: 663

• Message text: Balance carry forward for fiscal year &1 already executed

What causes this issue?

You're executing the MCA balance carry forward with the option to post
the balances on the first day of the new fiscal year. The MCA balance
carry forward for the selected fiscal year was already processed in
update mode before.
The MCA balance carry forward does neither have a delta logic nor a
reversal logic to read or reverse the previously posted balances. The
whole balance is posted on the first day of the fiscal year. If the
account ranges from the current run and the previously executed runs
overlap, the balance might be posted several times.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You have to ensure that either the account ranges of the several
balance carry forward runs do not overlap or that the previously posted
balances are reversed. You can reverse MCA runs with the transactions
FBMCA08 and FBMCA80.
