ABST2 and error MQ555, MQ557

When working with ECC Asset accounting, after uploading Balances for G/L accounts you can check ABST2 to reconcile with Asset Accounting Data.

 

If the company code is migrated during the fiscal year, it is very possible that you we see error message MQ555, MQ557

The 2 error message are as below:

Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward

Message no. MQ555

Differences between assets and G/L accounts at the key date

Message no. MQ557

 

Note number 69225 – Reconciliation difference financial/asset accounting – saying you may have following errors:

1. Incorrect data transfer

2. Subsequent change to data transfer without further reconciliation

3. Manual postings to reconciliation accounts

4. Manipulation of data by own programs

5. Program error.

 

First try to identify if you have above errors. If you could not identify the error, and you may notice in ABST2 there 2 lines for each account, saying period “blank” and period “999” have difference, then you may need to check the note 2032547 – Reconciliation FI and FI-AA. ABST2 Differences. Accordingly, mismatch in the line with period “blank” is mismatch of previous fiscal year. Mismatch in the line “999” is the mismatch in current fiscal year.

 

If total of the period 999 and “blank” is 0 then you possible keep it.

If you want a complete confidence report, you can post into the pass year for the balance in previous year, reverse in current period. And migrate balance as it is in the current period.
