Difference between General Ledger Accounting (New) and Old

Hello All,
Please help me with the below:
1)Could any one please explain the difference between General Ledger Accounting (New) and General Ledger Accounting (Old).
After going through the help document I understood that the BI 7 version came up with General Ledger Accounting (New), If this is true then can we still use 0FI_GL_04 in Ecc and BI7.0?
2)what is the difference between 0FI_GL_04 and 0FI_GL_14?
3) Is there any material or link or pdf that explains more clearly about FI - GL implementation in BI.
Thanks in advance.Your help will be much appreciated.

Hello Senthil,
Yes, thats engough, since SAP is recommending the same for that datasource 0FI_GL_14. I think you are already in that version.
See this SAP help document

Dear Forum,
We are facing a performance issue while loading the data to 0FIGL_O14 General Ledger Accounting (New): Line Items from CUBE ZMMPRC01 -> ODSO 0FIGL_O14 DSO.
Please see my requirement below for updating the data to 0FIGL_O14 DSO.
This report is generated to display Dry Dock and Running Repair expenses for the particular Purchase orders with respective G/L's.
1) The G/L DSO will provide us the 0DEBIT_LC and    0DEB_CRE_DC Foreign currency amount with signs (+/-) amounts and.

Please note the same kind of logic is applied for all the above mentioned fields.
Here is my concerns and issue.
For the all above all routines i am referring BI0/AFIGL_O1400
DSO and finally loading to the Same DSO(BI0/AFIGL_O1400
The worried part is my DSO 0FIGL_O1400 is currecnly having nearly 60 Lacks records and MM cube is having nearly 55 requests which are required to update to the Above DSO for PO related PO value and Invoice amount.
The big issue here is while uploading data from MM cube to DSO say for example if the request is having 25,000 records from this nearly 500-600 records will be updated to DSO.
But here it is taking huge time ( nearly 3 days for request ) for updating these records , like this i have to pull 50 more requests from Cube to DSO as per the requirement.
Please note as of now i haven't created any indexes on DSO to improve this loads.
Please note am facing this issue in Production environment and need your help ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas Padugula

Hi,
If selecting data from 0FIGL_O14 is taking long time then you can create secondary indexes on DSO.
0FIGL_O14 would be huge as data volume directly corresponds to data volume in BSEG.
But for you requirement, I think what you can do is,
1. create multiprovider on top of DSO and Cube and create Bex report to give you the fields requried from both the infoproviders, you can then use open hub or APD approach to keep the data in the staging table or direct update DSO and then load the data to the DSO
2. Create secondary indexes on DSO so that fetching would be faster.
3. Do the enhancment at R/3 level to fetch fields from MM during load of G/L

Difference between G/L Account Balance and PCA Balance

Friends,
After executing KE5T for the period 6 we are seeing a difference in the G/L a/c balance figures and the profit center figures for 2 balance sheet accounts. In one case the PCA balance figures are greater than the G/L a/c balance figures and vice versa in the 2nd case.
What is the procedure to be followed in such cases? Is there any standard program that can identify the postings that are causing the differences?
Please confirm at your earliest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer S. Gupte

Eli,
Thanks for the reply.
However, the note 126910 specifically mentions that it is not to be used for balance sheet account balances transferred to PCA using 1KEK.
Can you please advise about reconciling differences between PCA and balance sheet accounts.
Thanks & Regards,

Reg General Ledger Accounting(New) Business content

Hi,
I would like to know if we can migrate the standard queries based on 0FIGL_C01 and base the queries on 0FIGL_C10. Also, is it advisable to migrate the queries based on 0FIGL_VC1 and 0FIGL_VC2, to be based on 0FIGL_C10.
any pointers to the same, would be helpful.
Regards,
Sainath

Its good to use the queries based on the infocubes standard content to be used rather than migration.
Also the OLD and NEW gl depends on the R/3 config ,if they have configured the NEW GL then use 0FIGL_C10 and if they used the old use the other infocube.

 In the context menu of the VirtualProvider, choose the Activate Direct

Document on New General Ledger Accounting

Hi SAP Gurus,
Can anyone help by providing the following details relating to General Ledger Accounting (New):
1. What are the advantages of New GL accounting
2. Any Bearing on Controlling Module. If so, what they are (like no need of Cost Element Reconciliation)
Tnaks in advance
B Surya

The following are the advantages of New GL Accounting;
1. On-line document splitting. Real time integration of CO=>FI
2. New GL replaces the SPL (Special Purpose Ledger) to some extent and not 100%
3. CO Reconciliation is not required due to on-line splitting
4. Parallel Accounting
5. Segment Reporting.

0FI_GL_14 or 0FI_GL_4 General Ledger Accounting Line Items

Hello experts,
we should extract the Line Items from General Ledger Accounting.
There is a new datasource from SAP 0FI_GL_14 (General Ledger Accounting (New): Line Items of the Leading Ledger)
I cant find it in our source system because I think we donu2019t have SAP Enhancement Package 3 for SAP ERP 6.0 yet.
The question is, instead of this new datasource, can we use the old one 0FI_GL_4 (General Ledger: Direct Line Items ) if all necessary fields are available in extract structure.
Do you have any idea or experiences ?
Thanks.

We donu2019t have ehp3, so i cant use 0FI_GL_14.
Can we really compare 0FI_GL_14 and 0FI_GL_10 ?
Because 0FI_GL_10 extracts not on document level but I need information (Work breakdown structure element(PROJK)) on document level.
So I need both fields in extract structure u201CAccounting document number (BELNR)u201D and u201CWork breakdown structure element(PROJK)u201D.
0FI_GL_10 contains none of them.

Define field group in general ledger accounting

what is the use of 'define field groups', which comes under general ledger accounting- master date- additional activities, & how can we assign it?

Dear Siddhi,
In IMG under
Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> G/L Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations or
Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Master Data -> G/L Accounts -> Preparations
Field groups:
Screen Fields are grouped into field groups. Field Status would idnentify the staus of particular field where as field status group would identify the status of group of fields.
Example:
Account control
Account managemen
Document entry
Bank/financial de
Interest calculat
Joint venture
These groups would intern have fields.
When creating a G/L account, you must specify an account group.
The account group determines:
o   the interval in which the account number must be
o   which fields are required and optional entries when creating and changing master records
o   which fields are suppressed when creating and changing master data.
It enables you to control the layout of screens.
You use account groups to combine accounts according to the above criteria (for example, a P&L account group, asset account group and material account group).
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Naveen.

Diff in new and old gl accounts

diff in new and old gl accounts

Dear Pranav,
ECC 6.0 New GL Functionality
1.Activate the New General Ledger Accounting by a single click on the clock icon
2.You will reach to change view "activation of New GL A/cg" detail screen and tick the checkbox and save.
3. After activation of New General Ledger Accounting, you exit the IMG screen When you re-enter , you find that a new node is added Financial Accounting (New)
4.After activation of New General Ledger Accounting , a new sub node appears in the IMG structure.
This sub node is Define Segment
The menu path is:
SAP Customizing IMG ---> Enterprise Structure -
> Definition --> Financial Accounting --> Define Segment
In this IMG activity, you define your segments.
If you then define your profit centers, you can enter an associated segment in the master record of a profit center. The segment is then derived from the assigned profit center during posting.
5.Activation has created a new field in Profit Center Master Record : the SEGMENT
6.Leading and Non- Leading Ledgers
In General Ledger Accounting , you can use several Ledgers in parallel. This allows you to produce financial statements according to different accounting principles. A ledger uses several dimensions from the totals table it is based upon. When defining Ledgers , one must be defined as the Leading Ledger . The Leading Ledger is based on the same accounting principles as that of the consolidated financial statements. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is automatically assigned to all company codes. In each company code, the Leading Ledger receives exactly the same settings that apply to that company code : the currencies, the fiscal year variant and posting period variant .
You must designate one of your ledgers as the Leading Ledger. It is not possible to designate more than one ledger as the leading ledger.
The menu path is :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
> Ledger -
> Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting
Clicking on the checkbox identifies one of your ledgers as the Leading Ledger.
7. Activation of Non Leading Ledgers
Non Leading Ledgers are parallel ledgers to the Leading Ledger . They can be based on local accounting principle, for example. You have to activate a non- Leading Ledger for individual company codes. Non- Leading Ledgers can have different fiscal year variants and posting period variants per company code to the Leading Ledger of this company code.
The menu path is :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
> Ledger -
> Define and Activate Non --Leading Ledgers
8.Assign scenarios to ledgers
A Scenario combines Customizing settings from different business views. Each business view specifies which posting data is transferred from different application components in General Ledger Accounting, such as cost Center update or ProfitCenter update .You assign the desired scenarios to your ledgers. For each ledger, you define which fields are filled with posting data from other application components.
SAP delivers a number of scenarios in the standard system. It is not possible to create additional scenarios.
The menu path is:
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
>Fields -
> Display Scenarios for General Ledger Accounting.
9. Cost of sales accounting
Cost of sales accounting is a way to create a profit and loss statement (P&L) for a company by comparing the revenues to the costs or expenses incurred to obtain these revenues.
The expenses are mainly divided by functional area such as:
Manufacturing
Administration
Sales
Research and Development
We can activate Cost of Sales Accounting by the following menu path :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers ->Ledger---> Activate Cost of Sales Accounting

Naveen.

Difference between Leading ledger and Non-Leading ledger

Dear friends,
what is the main difference between Leading ledger and Non-leading ledger in New G/L.
Thanks in advance,
Babu.

This concept is introduced in SAP Ecc6.0
Many companies have to maintain books for more than two fiscal years (For example 31st December as per companies act & 31st March as per income tax Act).
So leading ledger & non leading concept helps in maintianing same.
Leading Ledger is the ledger in which all the entries are posted originally. From Leading ledger all entries flow into non keading ledger. You need not pass entries seprately in leading or non leading ledger.
In case your leading ledger is Jan to December, January will be the 1st period & so on.
In case your non leading ledger is April to March, April will be 1st period.
Also, The leading ledger is based on the same accounting principle as that of the consolidated financial statement.
The non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading ledger. They can be based for example on local accounting principles
Leading ledger is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is automatically assigned to all company codes.
In each company code, the leading ledger receives exactly the same settings that apply to that company code currencies, FYV and posting periods. You can define a second and third parallel currency for your leading ledger for each company code.
Non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading ledger. They can be based on a local accounting principle of a country, ex: You have to activate a non-leading ledger for the individual company codes.

What is the difference between Recon. Account and Alternative Recon. Accoun

hi
any body please tell me . What is the difference between Recon. Account and Alternative Recon. Account.

Hello sairama,
Reconciliation account- For each subledger account , you must keep at least one reconciliation account in the general ledger. When you post to an account in the subledger, the system automatically posts to the corresponding reconciliation account. The "Receivables from goods and services" account is an example of a reconciliation account for customers. Enter Customer in the Reconciliation account for account type field. Enter a Vendor in this field for a vendor reconciliation account. Using the reconciliation account procedure, it is possible to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement at any time, since the amounts posted to subledger accounts are also posted automatically in the general ledger.
During regular reconciliation, you check whether the balance of the reconciliation account matches the balance of the corresponding subledger account.
You define reconciliation accounts by specifying in the G/L account master record the account type (such as fixed assets, vendor or customer) for which the account is to be used. In this way, the account can only be assigned to accounts in the corresponding subledger. You set the assignment of the subledger account to a reconciliation account in the master record of the subledger account. You cannot post to reconciliation accounts manually .
============================================================
Alternative Reconciliation account- Special G/L transactions are identified by a special G/L indicator. The system uses the specifications (posting key and special G/L indicator) to determine the alternative reconciliation account.
When you post a special G/L transaction, the system does not post to the normal reconciliation accounts but instead automatically to alternative accounts, that is, special G/L accounts. Consequently, you do not transfer the balances of these accounts either. Instead, the system posts to the appropriate accounts automatically when the open items are transferred.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.
