Hi,
_ Parallel Accounting_
General Ledger Accounting allows you to perform parallel accounting by managing several parallel ledgers for different accounting principles.
_ Integration of Legal and Management Reporting_
In General Ledger Accounting, you can perform internal management reporting in parallel with legal reporting. For this purpose, the Profit Center Accounting functions are integrated with General Ledger Accounting. Furthermore, you can generate financial statements for any dimension (such as profit center).
Segment Reporting
General Ledger Accounting supports the segment reports required by the accounting principles IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Segment dimension.
_ Cost of Sales Accounting_
You can perform cost of sales accounting in General Ledger Accounting. For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Functional Area dimension.
Features
General Ledger Accounting comprises the following functions for entering and evaluating posting data:
- Choice between group level or company level
- Automatic and simultaneous posting of all subledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts)
- Simultaneous updating of the parallel general ledgers and of the cost accounting areas
- Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current posting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different balance sheet versions, and additional analyses.
In this way, General Ledger Accounting automatically serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the central and up-to-date component for reporting. Individual transactions can be checked at any time in real time by displaying the original documents, line items, and monthly debits and credits at various levels such as:
- Account information
- Journals
- Totals/transaction figures
- Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
However, SAP still offers to choose between the New GL and the old Classic GL way of accounting.
There are certain limitations in the new GL and clients are adopting to the new gl concept.

New General Ledger - Document splitting

Suppose a vendor invoice of 1,000 EUR assigned to 2 cost centers, CC1 and CC2 (500 EUR on each). The corresponding profit centers are PC1 and PC2.
Entry view:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor -1000
40 Charges +500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges +500 CC2 PC2
As a result of document splitting, the system splits the vendor line item in two parts: 500 EUR on CC1 (>PC1) and 500 EUR on CC2 (>PC2):
General Ledger view (document splitting):
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor -500 CC1 PC1
31 Vendor -500 CC2 PC2
40 Charges +500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges +500 CC2 PC2
We now enter a partial (manual) payment of 500 EUR relating to only one cost center (CC1).
The following is the result of document splitting:
General Ledger view:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
25 Vendor +250 CC1 PC1
25 Vendor +250 CC2 PC2
50 Bank -250 CC1 PC1
50 Bank -250 CC2 PC2
But if we draw a report by vendor by profit center, this is not correct. So, what I would like to have as a result of document splitting is:
PK Acct Amt CC PC
25 Vendor +500 CC1 PC1
25 Vendor 0 CC2 PC2
50 Bank -250 CC1 PC1
50 Bank -250 CC2 PC2
and the system geenrates then two additional clearing line items in the document:
40 Clg line item -250 CC1 PC1
50 Clg line item +250 CC2 PC2
Does someone have an idea on how to have the amount of 500 on only one cost center (with new GL customizing or else)?
Many thanks
Vincent

Dear Vincent,
You are way ahead of me, I am caught up at the below basic level
Entry view: ( basic data entry - FB60)
PK Acct Amt CC PC
31 Vendor 1000
40 Charges 500 CC1 PC1
40 Charges 500 CC2 PC2
From the above how to get the doc split as you have correctly shown below. I have done complete Doc split config, Controlling config etc in my co code, but some ever some settings are not done, hence perhaps I cannot see the doc split.
Your advise would be of immense help to me.
Cheers

Non-Leading Ledger Transactions- Direct Posting

Hi All
Kindly give your valuable info on below:
01. We are not getting Ledger info from regular Transactions i.e BSEG, BSIS, BSID etc. so we are taking leading ledger as ledger for transaction from this tables. Is it Right?
02. For Non-Leading Ledger Transactions-- From which table we can get it?
03. What is the process to post document only into Non-Leading Ledger? i.e transaction code or any specific method
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkat

Dear Srikanth,
Thanks for your valuable reply.
We are able to post only to Non-leading Ledger through FB50L. But we didnt find the documents in BSEG table.
Kindly help me if you know the tables name for Non-Leading Ledger Documents.

Venkat

For account assignment objects for which you want to report a balanced set of books , the system checks whether the balance of the object is zero after splitting has occurred . If this is not the case, the system generates additional clearing items. In this activity , the GL clearing account is assigned (likely need to define a new GL account here. )

Definition: document splitting
General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL)
An automatic procedure for organizing line items in the document according to selected dimensions (such as organizing receivable lines by profit center). Moreover, you can effect a zero balance setting for selected dimensions (such as profit center or segment). The zero balance setting causes additional clearing lines to be generated on clearing accounts in the document after the document has been created.
For example, the document splitting procedure is necessary for drawing up financial statements for the selected dimensions.

Document Split on Non Leading Ledger

Hi Friends,
Can we activate document split on Non leading Ledgers also?
Actually my client wants to maintain Leading ledger as per US GAAP and Non leading ledgers as per Schedule VI
So there is a requirement of activating document split on the non leading ledgers
Regards,
Ambuj Garg
+91-9739976912

Ok Think I should put my question differently
I have activated document split.....
Leading and Nonleading Ledgers are also in use
Now when i post a document it is split on the basis of Profit Center on the "OL" Leading Ledger view
While in the "NL" it is not split.
Is there a seperate setting for achieving document split in the Nonleading ledgers

system is not deriving pofit center and it is giving the below error.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
please advise any configration i have missed out.
any quaries please please let me know.
Regards

Hi Venkat,
Even in the first transaction, the profit center has not been determined by document splitting
if the profit center was derived by document splitting we would have seen 2 items for sundry creditors in the GL view
So check your document splitting settings for the corresponding document type, and transaction variant
the account category which includes vendor's recon accounts should be included in "item categories to be edited" list

Exit for to restict Non-leading ledger posting periods for Document Type SA

Hi,
Please give the guidelines to complete the following requirment.
In SAP FI two ledgers Leading(0L), Non-Leading (J2) Posting periods are defined in OB52.
If non-leading ledger is closed also it will take the Leading posting periods and Posting the document..
This is the SAP Behaviour.
Like in FB50L if we enter J2 (Non-Leading) it will display the erro message like
Posting period in not open.
Like that they want for FB70,FB75,MIGO,MIRO,FINT and Invoice(VF01).
Please suggest the suitable exit.
Thanks & Regards,
Padmaja.

Hi Ramu,
Please refer the below points,
1. Leading ledger is only one ledger in one client.
2. In one client you can keep N of non leading ledgers.
3. company codes are need assign to non leading ledgers.
4. All postings will update leading ledger by default.
5. Non leading ledgers will update if company code is assigned to non leading ledger.
6. If you want to post only non leading ledger then please use the tcode FB50L and FB01L.
7 You can set the separeate fiscal year variant for non leading ledger.
I hope above information will resolve you r issue.

ECC 5.0 BAPI for posting documents only in non-leading ledger

Hello,
for an FI-interface i want to call an BAPI for posting the documents. The document were posted to the leading ledger and to the non-leading ledger by usage of BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST.
Now there are cases to post documents only to the non-leading ledger.
Is there anywhere a possibility to tell the BAPI (e.g. enter the ledger group) only to post to the non-leading ledger or is another BAPI available to do so.
Thank you for your help.
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
You can use the same BAPI for any type of ledger postings. You can restrict your postings to Type of ledger.

What is the system variables of document number in General Ledger PLD?

Dear all,
Would anybody kindly tell me what is the system variables of document number in General Ledger Print Layout Designer?
The default print layout use transaction number (system variables 272), however, my client wants document number to be displayed in the transaction number column.
Regards,
Simon Chiu

Hi
The only list available for Supported variables is for the version 2007A and for some specific localizations like Brazil and India.
For the 2007A version the list is available in the following link:
http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/pld
'How To Use the PLD Variables File in Release 2007 A '
But in general the variables are for documents not for reports.
In this case I believe there's no variable and you may need to fill a requirement in the Forum for that.

Document split with special purpose ledger

I am trying to use activate document splitting in my special purpose ledger,but got error message
A splitting procedure cannot be assigned, for one of the following reasons:
There is no line item table defined for table Z#######
The following fields are missing from the line item table:
WSL
RWCUR
BELNR
BUZEI
LINETYPE
XSPLITMOD
You can check the exact definitions of these fields (data elements and so on) in table GLFLEXA.
i am wondering if those fields is mandatory for document split?

Hi
Don't you think this a very difficult approach for your requirement.
Wouldn't a Z Program sufficed your needs better. The reason I am saying this is that the data is already available in the Standard Tables all you need is different mode of selection and presentation to the client.
Also if you use FBL3N instead of FS10N and use Dynamic selections (Red,Blue,Green ICON) then the document date field can be used for drawing your reports. You could maintain variants for the selection screen, using this field for your client requirements.
Please let me know whether this helps you.
Thanks

I follow all the steps of customizing but when I post the FI document, the special ledger document is not split.
I'm not sure that i customize correctly
Please, could you help me?
Thanks in advance

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

Adding Non-Leading Ledger after Go Live

Greetings SAP'ers,
We are 2 months live with one of our Central American entities and we have New GL active, document splitting, etc., and now we find out we need a non-leading ledger for one of the countries for local reporting. Does anyone have experience adding a non-leading ledger after go-live? And if so, what are the implications of the documents already posted to that company code. Is there a migration of posted documents? The documentation is unclear as to whether this can be done.
Please let me know your experience.
Thanks,
Jim Steinle

Hello
As far as I know, One company many company codes can have only one leading ledgers and non leading ledgers for each company code.
In your case, you have not assigned a ledger to the company code. So the data must have been in the leading ledger.
And now if you assign, all the data henceforth would go to the ledger, but not sure of the past data.
Suggest you to create in quality and test check.
If it does not work out, then there should be note specifying a program to revive the data from leading ledger ?

Automatic creation of a Material Ledger document

Hi,
I need to automatically create a Material Ledger document with reference to a material and split valuation code, there are BAPI or Function that may I use?
Thanks
Gianmario Belotti

Hi,
First of all you should maintain transaction OMS2 to allow quantity & value update for the material type & valuation area
otherwise it is not relevant for material ledger.
Regarding how you have to activate the split valuation for a material, please keep in mind the following:
if no valuation category has been assigned to a material (MBEW-BWTTY is blank), and you wish to assign multiple valuation
categories (split valuation) to this material, then the material must not have linked documents and the stock must be zero for both
the current and previous periods.
If you make an attempt to assign a valuation category for this material, error message M3194 will be raised.
Please check the attached note 30656 concerning limitations associated with changing the valuation category.
Please also check note 155874, which outlines what must be performed in order to change the valuation category.
regards
Waman
