Consolidation entries in Special Ledger

I'm trying to create a simplified consolidation using Special Purpose Ledger, but I want to make it as error-free as possible. The idea is to have a ledger version containing only the consolidation adjustments, post the adjustments as local documents directly into this version, then run a report that aggregates the base version with the consolidation version, for consolidated financial results. So if I want to make the following consol adjustment as a local document in SPL:
DR Sales in Company Code A
CR Cost of Sales in Company Code B
my strong perference would be to post a zero-balanced document, i.e. a cross-company document. But I can't see how to post cross-company directly in SPL because the entry screen assumes only 1 company code. Can cross-company docs be done in SPL, or am I just out to lunch? The fall-back position is to post 2 unbalanced entries in the separate company codes, but that's more prone to error.
Thanks in advance for any clarification on this,
Kathryn

Sorry I never tried document splitting in Special Ledger. My understanding was it should work in the same way as GL accounting.

Special Ledger Data Transfer GCU1 Splitting rule "Z12/SKIP/0001"

Hello experts,
when transfering documents from financial accounting into a special ledger (GCU1) I get the error message "Keine Aufteilungsregel definiert zu Z12/SKIP/0001" (No splitting rule defined for Z12/SKIP/0001).
Under Financial Accounting (New) --> Special Purpose Ledger --> Actual Posting --> Settings for Accounting Integration --> Document Splitting --> Additional Activities --> Define Splitting rule the function "automatically split" is not checked for the named categories. Is my category missing or do I have to check the "automatically split"? Can anyone help me on this?
Do I have to use a different transaction for transfering documents if new G/L is active?
Best regards,
Maria

Special ledger-TS GL GCF1/GCF2

I am trying to add the field 'BELNR' as a receiver and sender in TS GCF2, but the following message appears for one of the field movement and table defined for my special ledger:
'Field BELNR is not allowed as a receiver field
Message no. GG244
Diagnosis
Field BELNR is not allowed as a receiver field in variable field assignments. This is because this field is posted directly to Special Purpose Ledger using 'fixed field movements'. This error message can also occur if field BELNR is filled internally by a program.
Procedure
Correct your entry.'
Any idea?
Thanks,
Cecilia

When ever you define table group in Fi-SL, system automatically creates field movements for certain dimensions called Fixed Field Movements. Belnr is also one among them. So you neednot create any entry for BELNR again in Variable Movement.If you like to manupulate this field movement by using any exit or Substitution, you can do this in GCI4

Special Ledger Cost Center

Hi,
What is the sender and receiver cost center. If we check special ledger table then there are 2 fields in it cost center and receiver cost center. For the settlement entries cost center value appears in the field receiver cost center.
Thank you,
Sam

PKOSTL = is the receiver cost center while KOSTL = CNTR is your sender cost center. Also you will observe in the object table 1 the sender cost center "KOSTL' is marked "tick" for sending.

Obya cross company using special ledger

Hello all,
I´m trying to configure obya, to post a cross company movemente in financila, but using a posting key = special ledger and and the system does not allow, someone can help me??
In one part of the movement I need to post in customer acc with special ledger.
Thanks,
Ana Santos

Hi, thanks for your help. The problem is that I have two situations for the same relation company A and company B.
Example 1 u2013 OBYA
Company A: Debit = 01 customer acc in comp. A / Credit = 50 profit acc u201CXu201D in comp. A
Company B: Debit = 40 cost acc u201CYu201D in comp. B / Credit = 31 in vendor acc in comp. B
When Iu2019m posting, I can start with the debit movement in customer acc (with PK 09 and special ledger) in company A; and credit vendor acc in company B (31 u2013 vendor acc), simulating I will have the automatic movements from OBYA (in bold). With this I have the problem of the special ledger solved in I only have one movement / relation to post.
But the problem is that I need another relation for example 2, and I can only make one entry in OBYA by Relation Company A - B.
Example 2 u2013 OBYA
Company A: Debit = 01 customer acc in comp. A / Credit = 50 profit acc u201CZu201D in comp. A
Company B: Debit = 40 cost acc u201CUu201D in comp. B / Credit = 31 in vendor acc in comp. B
Thanks again,

ICR - without special ledger

Hi,
We are trying to customize the ICR Program in our SAP System (ECC6.0), and we cannot use special ledgers. The customizing guide from SAP that we found online states that we do not need to use a special ledger. However, when customizing the step: Reconciliation Process Detail Attributes, the entry of a special ledger is mandatory.
How can we solve this problem or what customizing settings do we have to select?
We appreciate your help.
Cheers.

Hello Giamapaolo,
If you already have ledger I2 for FBICRC002T and you do not need to run FBICS2 to run some kind of BADI implementation you do not need to create any additional ledgers for FBICRC002T.

Special Ledger: Open Line items are not being loaded in BW

Hi all.
We are loading Special Ledger information from R/3 to BW, and for many accounts, the data is not reconciling between the two systems.
We have found out that none of the Open Line Items are being transferred.
Do you know which could be the cause for this?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Daniel,
Could you give some more details about the extractors and the "Open Line Items"?

General Ledger Special Ledger out of balance *URGENT* Material Ledger???

We've activated Material Ledger in a company code in Jan'07.
Accounting document created because of 102 Movement type FI document looks fine but in Special Ledger document dollars against Group currency are posted to Price Difference account? This is not happening for all 102movement type documents but i couldn't establish the pattern! Any help would be highly appreciated.
Some background:
Company code and Controlling Area both got USD as main currency.
This problem is sporadic and with 102 movement type only.
Materials causing issue got Price control 'S' and Price determination '2"

Hi Raghu,
Probably I am mistaken; I was talking about SPL field movements and user exits used there. you can check that through transaction GCB2 where ledger is assigned to a company code and then u can drill down to activity and field movement assigned to the activity and can find if a user exit is used to post to a price difference account.
Let me know if I am talking about relevant stuff here. If it is with SPL then I can help u more.
Thanks,
Kumar

Go live of a new special ledger

Hi,
I need to implement a special ledger, and the company FI is already in production. The problem is that I need to start to work with the special ledger on the date 01.01.20XX, and if I pass the orders on 01.01.20XX the company is still going to enter information (adjustments) in 12.20xx -1 and I don't want to have information of the prior year in the special ledger.
I want to know if is possible to set the special ledger to be actived in a specific date.
In addition, which is the process of the go live recommended by sap to start to use a new special ledger when the company is already in production.
Thanks,
Cecilia

Actual Line Items for Special Ledger

Hello,
I wrote an report to show FI-SL balances.
In addition to that, now I need the actual line Items for them (table TRACTSLA)
I've found a transaction called KE5Z, which is for PCA line items.
Is there also such a transaction for special ledger line items, which I can reuse?
Thanks in advance.

New GL or Special Ledger

We are in the midst of upgrading our environment to ECC 6.0 but we are taking on a Financial Re-design effort - I am looking to leverage the NEW GL to remove some of our dependency on a CO-PA reporting design and I am hearing from some colleagues that they would like to use - the Special Ledger to support the new Financial reporting requirements u2013 but I feel the NEW GL is the way to go with the design since it is more integrated with standard reporting u2013 What are your thoughts about continuing to use the Special Ledger functionality over the New GL functionality in ECC 6.0 ?
Moderator: Please, search SDN

Hi,
Definitely, switching over to New GL rather than continuing in conventional SPL. New GL has lots of advantage and flexibility. Please go thru the documentation AC210 - New General Ledger Accounting for more details or refer below mentioned link.

Problem in extracting data from Z totals table (special Ledger)

Hi Gurus,
I am in a task of pulling in specific fields from the Z Totals Table of Special Purpose Ledger into the cube. We only need totals records and do not need line items.
In SBIW, i have generated the transfer structure and datasource for totals table as per the steps of Generic extraction.
The problem is that am not able to see all the fields (like balance carried forward, total transactions) in the selection fields screen. While extracting i choose totals records only. But now my datasource got generated and am able to see that it is active (green). But some important fields like balance are missing.
Please let me know your suggestions / ideas.
Thanks
Shreya

We have the exact same Challenge and Issue. When I view my generated extract structure 3FI_SL_ZB_TT, I don't see any of my key figures. This was created off the Special Ledger Summary or totals table.
For Instance, I need fields KSLVT through KSL16. That is, Balance Carried forward in Group currency (period 0) and, total of transactions of the period in group currency, (periods 1-16). I don't see these at all in the generated extract structure. Does that mean it must be appended in via transaction RSA6?
Also, to get the Balance Carried forward do I have to add 0BALANCE to the extract structure?
Finally, besides the beginning balance, which wiil remain constant, can I get Month-end Year To Date Balances using this approach. Note, I don't need detail from the line items table. I just want to make sure I don't need to use that in concert with a Delta and ODS to get my Month End YTD Balance. I only need this cube for Balances.
Thanx,
Joe M

FI-SL Special Ledger Extractor (Delta not working) Issues

Hi,
We are creating extractor for Special Purpose Ledger using standard SAP methodology.
Step1: Goto Transaction BW01 --> select the Summary table ---> Check for total records and line Items and then execute. This results in extrators created for totals and Line Items.
Issue 1: The Summary table eg. ZLTST has special ledgers Z1, Z2 and ZA where Z1 and Z2 are for spot balances and ZA is for Average Balances, the issue is we dont see any extractor for ZA (we do see extractors created for Z1 and Z2 both totals and line Items)
Step 2: Goto transaction BW03 ---> select the totals extractor and double click
Issue 2: When you double click the check box to Activate Delta Update for Z1 and Z2 (totals) is disabled???
If anyone has configured Special Ledger Extractors in past for release 4.7 and higher please let me know the process to set up delta
