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.

  • Difference between Snapshot scenario and non cumulative scenario

    Hi,
    Can any one please tell me the difference between snapshot scenario and non cumulative scenario in
    inventory management.
    Also please give example. I read the pdf " how to handle inventroy management scenarios", but can any one please give some easy to understand examples.

    hi,
    In Non-cummulative method your stock movements are stored in the cube (inflow and outflow of NC KF) and the Total stock is calculated during query execution. Hence if there are lot of movements in the stock for the period you want to report on, query will take long time to execute.
    In case of Snap shot scenario Stock movements are not loaded to cube. you use ODS to load the status of the stock and then from ODS you can load to Cube once in a month. So only summarized data will be availabe in Cube. Reporting will be fast.

  • Difference between Coupon Codes And non-Coupon Codes

    Hi everybody.,
    i want to know the difference between Coupon Codes And Non-Coupon Codes in ATG..

    I dont think we have anything called non-coupon codes.
    We have promotions codes or coupon codes associated to a single promotion. If you apply couponcode, then the promotion associated to the user gets applied to it if dates and other properties related to coupon are valid.

  • What is the difference between buffered acquisition and non buffered acquisition?

    What is the difference between buffered acquisition and non buffered acquisition? How will I decide whether I want buffered acquisition or non buffered acquisition?

    I will also add that with non buffered acquisition you have to use software timing. Windows is not a real time OS, so the the timing is not accurate. But if you use buffered acquisition the timing will be controlled with an accurate internal clock on the Daq unit. I think non buffered acquisition should be avoided in most cases.
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • Wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?

    Hi guru,
    wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?
    Regards
    Subash

    About brief idea about unicode
    In the past, SAP developers used various codes to encode characters of different alphabets, for example, ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
    ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encodes each character using 1 byte = 8 bit. This makes it possible to represent a maximum of 28 = 256 characters to which the combinations 00000000, 11111111 are assigned. Common code pages are, for example, ISO88591 for West European or ISO88595 for Cyrillic fonts.
    EBCDI (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange) also uses 1 byte to encode each character, which again makes it possible to represent 256 characters. EBCDIC 0697/0500 is an old IBM format that is used on AS/400 machines for West European fonts, for example.
    Double-byte code pages require 1 or 2 bytes for each character. This allows you to form 216 = 65536 combinations where usually only 10,000 - 15,000 characters are used. Double-byte code pages are, for example, SJIS for Japanese and BIG5 for traditional Chinese.
    Using these character sets, you can account for each language relevant to the SAP System. However, problems occur if you want to merge texts from different incompatible character sets in a central system. Equally, exchanging data between systems with incompatible character sets can result in unprecedented situations.
    One solution to this problem is to use a code comprising all characters used on earth. This code is called Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) and consists of at least 16 bit = 2 bytes, alternatively of 32 bit = 4 bytes per character. Although the conversion effort for the R/3 kernel and applications is considerable, the migration to Unicode provides great benefits in the long run:
    The Internet and consequently also mySAP.com are entirely based on Unicode, which thus is a basic requirement for international competitiveness.
    Unicode allows all R/3 users to install a central R/3 System that covers all business processes worldwide.
    Companies using different distributed systems frequently want to aggregate their worldwide corporate data. Without Unicode, they would be able to do this only to a limited degree.
    With Unicode, you can use multiple languages simultaneously at a single frontend computer.
    Unicode is required for cross-application data exchange without loss of data due to incompatible character sets. One way to present documents in the World Wide Web (www) is XML, for example.
    ABAP programs must be modified wherever an explicit or implicit assumption is made with regard to the internal length of a character. As a result, a new level of abstraction is reached which makes it possible to run one and the same program both in conventional and in Unicode systems. In addition, if new characters are added to the Unicode character set, SAP can decide whether to represent these characters internally using 2 or 4 bytes.
    A Unicode-enabled ABAP program (UP) is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system (NUS) as in a Unicode system (US). In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
    In a US, you can only execute programs for which the Unicode flag is set. In future, the Unicode flag must be set for all SAP programs to enable them to run on a US. If the Unicode flag is set for a program, the syntax is checked and the program executed according to the rules described in this document, regardless of whether the system is a US or an NUS. From now on, the Unicode flag must be set for all new programs and classes that are created.
    If the Unicode flag is not set, a program can only be executed in an NUS. The syntactical and semantic changes described below do not apply to such programs. However, you can use all language extensions that have been introduced in the process of the conversion to Unicode.
    As a result of the modifications and restrictions associated with the Unicode flag, programs are executed in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems with the same semantics to a large degree. In rare cases, however, differences may occur. Programs that are designed to run on both systems therefore need to be tested on both platforms.

  • Differences Between CTE Trialing and CTE Leading

    Hi,
    Could someone tell me the difference between environments CTE trailing and CTE leading?
    Thanks
    Edited by: Aztaro on 25-may-2009 9:26

    Oracle has created two “instances” (an instance being a self-contained collection of servers that
    support the CRM On Demand application) to host customer testing facilities, and is making
    instances freely available to customers.
    The Leading CTE will always be running the latest version of CRM On Demand and be among
    the very first to be upgraded. The Trailing CTE will always be among the very last systems to be
    upgraded.

  • What's the difference between dot sourcing and non-dot sourcing?

    My teacher is incompetent in this matter.
    I've been struggling to make logic out of the use of dot-sourcing and non dot sourcing. 
    What is the difference? I've been bashing my head against the wall for the past hour.

    Hi Loginux,
    "simply" put, non-dotsourcing scripts / functions will run them in their own small box ("Scope"), which is discarded when the execution finishes. Dotsourcing will run it in the current environment. Example:
    script.ps1:
    $Hello = "Hello World"
    non-dotsourced:
    $Hello = "Hi Mark"
    & .\script.ps1
    Write-Host $Hello
    dotsourced:
    $Hello = "Hi Fred"
    . .\script.ps1
    Write-Host $Hello
    Cheers,
    Fred

  • Difference between Persistent Messaging and Non Persitent Messaging

    Hi ,
    I have a confusion related to Persistent messaging.
    According to my knowledge the message becomes persistent if the flag JMSDeliveryMode is set
    SO what is it by defalut ??
    Where do messges get stored for time being for non -persistent messages.
    Thanks in Advance:)

    Message persistence is set by Delivery mode attribute of the message producer in the JMS client or it can bet set on a message basis during the send operation. The default value for the delivery mode on the message producer is PERSISTENT.
    Weblogic JMS has a feature to override the delivery mode set by the message producer. This is at the Destination configuration where there is an attribute called the Delivery Mode Override which can take the values:
    No-Delivery: Delivery mode of the message producer will not be overridden
    Persistent: All messages are marked as persistent irrespective of the message producer setting
    Non Persistent: All Messages are marked as non persistent irrespective of the message producer setting.
    All non persistent messages are stored in memory in normal case. If there is a pile up of messages, weblogic moves the body Messages to disk within what is called as a paging store for the JMS server, only retaining message headers in memory. The characteristic of non persistent messages is that it can't survive server restart. So these messages even when they are on the disk within the paging store wont survive the server restarts.

  • Double Posting using Leading and Non-leading ledger...

    Gurus'
    I am at a client that is using the leading (0L) and non leading (PL) ledger set up.  Also, we have configure an additional document document (ZF) for posting to the (PL) ledger.  The following configuration settings have been made:
    1     US GAAP (group accounting) (PLN)                    1     0L
    2     Depreciation on tax limited value (cars)                    0
    3     PAS (Polish Accounting Standards) (PLN)                    2     PL
    10     CIT TAX (Polish taxation accounting) (PLN)                    3     PL
    30     Consolidated balance sheet in local currency PLN       0
    31     Consolidated balance sheet in group currency USD     0
    32     Book depreciation in group currency (USD)                    0
    Can someone explain why I am seeing a duplicate posting on the non leading ledger.  Using the settlement transaction from Project Systems or ABZON from the Asset Module I get the expected (AA) document type posting on the leading ledger but also on the non-leading ledger.  When I run ASKB, the document ZF is also posted on the non-leading ledger.
    Can someone help me figure this out?  Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can check BKPF (document header) and there is a field "ledger group" for which the document was posted onto. If there's no value in the field, it means the document was posted to all ledgers (leading and non leading).

  • Different segment in same document for leading and non-leading ledger

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have different segments derived in the same document for Leading and Non-leading ledgers.
    Is there an exit where we can substitute the segment originally derived so as to update only in one particular ledger
    Please suggest.

    Thanks Alex for your response.
    But would it be possible to update the segment only in one ledger, the other one carrying the default values coming from profit center?

  • Opening balance upload in Leading and NOn leading ledger.

    Hi All.
    We are in the phase of opening balance upload. We are using Leading and Non leading ledger concept. Our Leading ledger starts on 29th of March 2009 as per UK reporting and Non leading ledger starts from 1st April to 31st of March as per India reporting.
    We were going to upload the opening balance as on 22nd of Nov as per UK reporting. But here We stuck because as per India reporting our 2008 fiscal year has been closed on 31st of march 2009 also financial books has been closed. But due to UK reporting we are carrying 29th to 3st march 2009 P&L balances in Leading ledger which has been considered in the India Balance sheet ( has come in Profit and Loss Account).
    Here I am not able to understand that how I should upload the 29th to 31st march P&L balances in leading ledger because if I will upload these through F-02 or FB50 BDC than these will effect the India balances also. If I am using the FB01l or FB50L to upload the Non leading ledger balances, than system is not allowed me to upload the balances in open item management accounts. System prompt me following message.
    Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted
    Message no. FAGL_POST_SERVICE012
    Diagnosis
    You use G/L account 213702 in company code 7041 with open item management. However, postings are not permitted to G/L accounts in individual ledgers with open item management.
    Procedure
    If you have not yet made any postings to this account and if the account is to be used for closing processes in non-leading ledgers, deactivate the Open Item Management indicator in the company code data for the G/L account.
    Can any one tell me that how I can Achieve the same with correct P&L affect in Leading Ledger and correct effect in Non leading ledger Profit and loss account.
    Appreciate your immediate response.
    Many thanks

    Hi
    If your problem is solved, can you please let me know the solution for upload of customer, vendor and other open GL items in Non Leading Ledger.

  • IFRS Ledger as non-leading in IFRS-compliant country

    Hi Gurus,
    We have IFRS ledger as non-leading BUT country is IFRS compliant.
    What can be the effects?
    Appreciate if some Guru can explain in detail.
    Thanks a ton,
    Bulbul

    Thanks for the reply.
    My question was in respect to CO.
    It is my understanding that FI data of only Leading Ledger goes to CO and in this case it would not be IFRS data (that is non-leading ledger), but data of Leading Ledger (that is not IFRS).
    When all legal reporting has to be done as IFRS-compliant, so what can be the IMPACT overall.
