How To Fix MQ530 - There are differences in clearing procedures

MQ530 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MQ - Messages for Euro Changeover Package

• Message number: 530

• Message text: There are differences in clearing procedures

What causes this issue?

When selecting clearing procedures, procedures which do not balance out
to zero occurred before conversion. This can happen if documents have
been archived and the corresponding indexes deleted from these
procedures. Without the complete indexes, no complete reconciliation
can be carried out in Financial Accounting after conversion. Another
possibility is that the currency key for the G/L account's update
currency (PSWSL) does not have an entry in several of the indexes. This
renders a complete analysis of the clearing procedures impossible.

System Response

The program remains in the status ERROR.

How to fix this error?

Using program RFEWSSCA, analyze the clearing procedures for which
differences occurred. <DS:TRAN.EWF4>Proceed</>
Check whether the indexes have been archived or whether an entry does
not exist for the update currency in several of the corresponding
account's indexes.
If the indexes have been archived, restructure the indexes from the
archives for these procedures and start the program again.
Otherwise contact SAP.
