Inspect the provision for liabilities
Make sure that:
The total product balance is equal to the balance on the appropriation GL account(s) for product.
The balance of the appropriation account(s) is 0 (zero).
During period closure, the account(s) connected to provision for liabilities is automatically reversed in the correct period which means that the balance of the appropriation account(s) shall be 0 (zero).
Inspect the balance of the appropriation account(s) for products per period
Write PROBAL and the current period in the program field (PROBAL/YYYYMM) and press ENTER. Or enter PROBAL included with period filter directly from PAR by pressing the total amount in the Change column in the Product Balances folder.
In the Group by field, select the DOCTYPE option.
Verify that the Rate field value (current/historic) is correct according to your system setup.
