How To Fix GU645 - Carryforward for company code/company & already completed for &

GU645 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GU - FI-SL utilities

• Message number: 645

• Message text: Carryforward for company code/company & already completed for &

What causes this issue?

While executing the balance carryforward, the system notes (in table
FAGL_CARRY_FORW for New General Ledger Accounting or T882 for FI-SL and
EC-PCA) the fiscal year for which the balance carryforward was last
executed, so that an automatic balance carryforward to the current
fiscal year is performed whenever postings are made to the previous
fiscal year.
While checking the table entries mentioned above, the system detected
that the balance carryforward has already been performed for fiscal year
&v2&.

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

System Response

How to fix this error?

Please check whether the fiscal year entered (&v3&) is correct and
correct your entry if necessary.
Otherwise, an automatic balance carryforward may in future no longer
take place to year &V2&, but only to fiscal year &v3&.
