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.

  • 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,

    Hi Srikanth,
    Could you please throw some light  how can we go for another additional currency with the help of FI-Special Purpose Ledger.
    In our case hard currency (USD) and group currency (INR) are fix.and for additional currency we have only option i.e. Currency type. Is there any another way for creating additional currency in FI-SPL
    We have stuck here on this point. Any answer would be highly appreciable.

  • 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

  • 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

    Hi,
    r u using Spl gl for first time.i would like to know if the entry is coming for the first time.
    r u getting error at that time.
    pl specify. if using for first time, new fields and new tables will get activated , so system at time of posting will check consistency with std and spl gl tables.
    we need to run consistency program REZZGLEX to get this consistency error to be resolved
    thanks

  • Special ledger Rollup

    Hi,
    I have customized a rollup in a special ledger and I am using the same Z table for the original ledger (ZA) and for the rollup ledger(ZB). So I have for example 1000 line items in ledger ZA and 60 in ledger ZB in the same Z table.
    Then in reports I have selected only ledger ZB, so I think that the waiting time when executing reports will be less than selecting ledger ZA but I have few line items and I am not sure.
    Is it correct or is it necessary to post rollup data in another table to have less waiting time?
    Because entering data in the same table I have more line items than before....
    Thank you very much!!

    Beatriz,
    We are on ECC6 and have defined a number of SPL's that we update at month end using a roll up.  So it is possible to do, we are updating it from the GLPCT table as PCA is active in our solution.  I am not sure what your data source would be i.e. are you intending to use the FAGLFLEXT table?
    Long term new GL is probably the way to go for additional ledgers but it does depend on what you are tryign to achieve using SPL.

  • Special ledger updation for plan data

    Hello
    We have a special ledger set up ( custom table ), the table gets updated with the data online. We have couple of co codes having controlling area 1001 and one that is having only STAT. The plan data for that co code( with STAT) is not getting updated in the special ledger online for new year, I found that t code GCLE is used to activate the items but that seems to be not helping and now I can not understand how it is done for new year. Any clues on this one? I am not a functional guy.
    Thanks
    Sameer

    Yes, this option is active and when I post FI documents for example, the special ledger document appear in the transaction currency.
    The proble is that in KP06 when I plan in EUR the special ledger line item has in transaction currency value in USD,that is tyhe company code currency, instead of the transaction currency that I have used (EUR)
    Do you understand me?

  • Special Ledger and RemoteCubes

    Hi Gurus,
    Someone has used RemoteCubes on Special Ledger?.
    Kind Regards,
    Juan C Bencomo

    Hello Raja,
    Both the special ledgers and parallel ledgers are similar in concept but differ only in the way they are implemented.
    Special purpose ledger was not part of GL until R/3 4.7. From ECC 5 onwards parallel ledger  functionality is integrated into New GL functionality. If you use parallel ledger (leading and non leading ledger)  functionality you need not use special purpose ledger. Even though you implement New GL in ECC, you can still continue using special purpose ledger if you dont want to use Parallel ledger in ECC.
    You can use Special purpose ledger even in ECC 5.0 and 6.0.
    regards,
    Sriram

  • Controlling Special Ledger rollup

    The situation is:
    There is a record in the reciever table for a special ledger rollup that have filled the value fields for one money (for example: local currency) and I want to import the values for another money (for example: transaction currency) in THE SAME record without destroying the existing values.
    One soultion could be to copy the values from the reciever table to the intermediate table (glu2), but I can not determine how could locate the reciever record. I have tried with the name of the table (the name in dictionary data) but it didn't work.
    Thanks a lot,

  • Disable Special  Ledger

    Hi experts
    I have activated special ledger, and the size of Table FAGLFLEXA is very large.
    Could I deactivate some Special ledgers ? there are any consecuences? Which are ?   How can I do?
    Thanks in advace.

    Hi.
    'How I can disable/delete this special ledger?' you can block it,delete all transactin assigned to it, or cretae new Ledger selection rule which never will work(eg &False).
    You can delete it only if you delete all data in it (tcode GCDE)
    'Somebody can tell me if it is possible and to know the risks and consequences. ?' it depends on your bussines processes. I mean in which scope this ledger takes place. Why are you using it?
    Also did you use transfer from another modules to this ledger?

  • 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"?
