Financials > Utilities > Closing > Year end simulation 

Use this function to calculate and display the year-end simulation of a period N-1 on a period N. Carry-forward amounts are  posted to period N during the fiscal year-end closing process. The year-end simulation for general analytical balances and pre-consolidated balances is carried out by legal company.

Updating carry-forward amounts for pre-consolidation balances follows the same process used for general and analytical balances.

Pre-consolidated Balance information.

The following journal entries never create or modified carry-forwards records in the pre-consolidated balance:

 

Fiscal year journal entries created using the Fiscal year-end function (FIYEND)

Fiscal year journal entries created manually in the Journal entry function (GESGAS)

The Flow on carry-forwards records is initialized by the CSLFRWFLO – Carry-forward flow parameter (CPT chapter, CSL group) even if the account is set with flow management Not entered. If there is no flow code defined for this parameter, carry-forward records are created without any flow.

For carry-forward records, the partner is calculated from the Balance N-1, except for the P&L account where the partner is never defined (see below).

For an analytical ledger, the analytical carry-forward records are created with a Dimension ID different from 0, and they are initialized with the dimensions values that have the Carry forward check box selected in the Dimensions function (GESCCE).

When the ledger has a carry-forward balance, the P&L amount is set on the P&L account defined on the Miscellaneous tab of the Chart of account line 11. Carry-forward records created on this P&L account do not have any dimension value and this account does not have a partner defined.

If the Carry-forward in currency check box is selected on the account setup in the Accounts function (GESGAC), it is not taken into account.

For any balance type, you cannot run a simulation carry-forward for a closed fiscal year.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Header

    • Ledger (field LEDTYP)

    Select the type of ledger for the simulation.

    Criteria

    • All companies (field TOUSOC)

    Select this check box to run a simulation on all companies in a single legislation.

    If you select All companies, the Legislation field is required.

    Enter a company to run the simulation on a single company.

    The Legislation field automatically displays the legislation for that company.

    Enter the legislation if you selected All companies. 

    For a single company, this field displays the legislation for that company.

    • Fiscal year (field FIY)

    Enter an open fiscal year for the simulation.

    You cannot run the simulation on a closed fiscal year.

    • Start date (field DATDEB)

    This field displays the date range for the fiscal year.

    • End date (field DATFIN)

     

    Selection

    • General balance (field GEN)

    Select this check box to simulate carry-forward entries for general balances.

    • Analytical balance (field ANA)

    Select this check box to simulation carry-forward entries for analytical balances.

    • Pre-consolidation balances (field CSL)

    Select this check box to simulate carry-forward entries for pre-consolidated balances.

    This check box is only available for ledgers with consolidation management.

    Batch task

    This function can be run in batch mode. The standard task ACCFINEX is provided for that purpose.

    Error messages

    In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

    Impossible to place an exclusive lock on the company

    It is not possible to lock a company if it is subject to updates in another function.
