Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL)

Definition that determines how data is summarized in a rollup ledger.

For certain high level reports and valuations, the data in a ledger may be too detailed. Using rollup functions, you can summarize the information contained in one or more original ledgers in a rollup ledger.

Thefollowing types of rollups exist:

• Standard rollups

These are rollups with which data is summarized in one or more ledgers using one or more rollup stacks.

• Hierarchical rollups

These are rollups with which data is summarized in a rollup ledger based on a hierarchical structure (such as cost center hierarchy).

• Export rollups

These are rollups with which data from local systems is summarized in central systems.
