• /Z1AANNUL/ is a transaction that needs to be run twice, during pre-closure and closure activities

During pre-closure, run /Z1AANNUL/ only in test mode, to verify if the different accounts are balanced.

Use as charts of account COCA for PF1 and Z001 for WP1
Run one company at the time, remembering to change the Country Key, based on the country identity of the company code (e.g.: company 0001 Belgium – country key BE; company 5835 Italy - country key IT, etc..)


To run /Z1AANNUL/ during pre-closure in test run, remove the ticks on "CREATE BATCH-INPUT" and "SCMA".
The document type for PF1 is SA and for WP1 is S5.
Example of balanced account:

Register the activity on the closing file

The corrections in order to balance the accounts will need to be performed before D+3
