Features
Activating General Ledger Accounting has the following effects:
● The Customizing settings for General Ledger Accounting appear in the SAP Reference IMG. You access the settings under Financial Accounting (New) ® Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) and General Ledger Accounting (New).
● The General Ledger Accounting functions appear in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger.
● The tables for new General Ledger Accounting are activated and updated.
In the standard system, the tables from classic General Ledger Accounting (GLT0) are updated as well as the tables in new General Ledger Accounting during the activation. This enables you to perform a ledger comparison during the implementation of new General Ledger Accounting to ensure that your new General Ledger Accounting has the correct settings and is working correctly. To compare ledgers, in Customizing choose Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Tools ® Compare Ledgers.
We recommend that you deactivate the update of tables for classic General Ledger Accounting once you have established that new General Ledger Accounting is working correctly. To do this, in Customizing choose Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Tools ® Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger.
In some of the General Ledger Accounting functions, you can use the Ledger Group field, such as for posting.
● The following functions are available:
Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting
Functions for Profit Center Accounting (such as statistical key figures and transfer prices)
