General parameters > Chapter Accounting > Parameter FRWANA (Analytical carryforward) 

Index

Use this parameter to define how carry-forward balances are managed for a year-end simulation with analytical dimensions.

This parameter does not have any impact on simulation carry-forward functionality.

A year-end simulation can include updating the balance of the carry-forward entries so you can generate inquiries and reports with balances being carried-forward even if the previous fiscal year is not closed.

If set to Yes,the balance of carry-forward entries are updated for the next open year-end balance in the analytical balance and pre-consolidated balance for ledgers with consolidation and analytical management.  

For example:

Fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017 are open. A journal entry is posted for 2015 on the balance sheet accounts with carry-forward management and carry-forward records are created in 2016 in the analytical balance and in the pre-consolidated balance for ledgers with consolidation and analytical management.

If set to No, the balance of carry-forward entries are not updated for the next open year-end balance in the analytical balance and pre-consolidated balance for ledgers with consolidation and analytical management.   

For example:

Fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017 are open. A journal entry is posted for 2015 on the balance sheet accounts with carry-forward management.When posting a journal entry in 2015, carry-forward records are not created in the analytical balance nor in the pre-consolidated balance for 2016. You need to run the simulation carry forward functionality on 2016 to generate the carry forward records in both the analytical and pre-consolidated balances.
