Symptom
+/- Sign Change is not reflected in app Balance Sheet/Income Statement
Environment
SAP S/4HANA CLOUD 2011 and above
Reproducing the Issue
1. Go to App Manage Global Hierarchies.
2. Click the given Hierarchy, untick +/- Sign change
3. Go to app Balance Sheet/Income Statement, the balance is still negative, it does not update
Cause
The feature "Change of Sign (+/-)" in App "Balance Sheet / Income Statement" is not supported by the system. This field is only used by the G/L account information system (financial statement analysis). It does not effect the program RFBILA00 (or Balance Sheet / Income Statement). G/L account information system (financial statement analysis) is not available in S/4HANA Cloud.
Resolution
The balances are shown based on the default setting. The system works as designed.
