Zeroing Balances Solution TOI

Introduction
Solutions to avoid populating balances belonging to previous years in the new fiscal year
Oracle has proposed Reversing the Trial Balance for the period ending JUN-30 with YTD Amount.

Purpose of this document


The purpose of this document is to provide the require steps in order to deploy the option by reversing the Trial Balance from
general ledger module to reverse all account balances

Solution Deploy Considerations


1. GL balances will be zeroed based on the Standard Trial Balance Detail Report for Jun-12 with YTD amounts.
2. All Subledger data will remain in the system.
3. As GL balances will be zeroed out, if there will be a need to run any reports related to last years data or doing a
reconciliation/drilldown between the subledger and the GL, it will not be possible.
