General Ledger Data

This Model Table function is used to provide periodic general ledger totals from the relevant accounts.

It defines the following fields:

• Version: If you connect a real general ledger, you use this field to enter a fixed value. There is no variance because a general ledger provides only real data. You can use this field if versioned data is provided along with real general ledger data.

• Posting Date: You use this field to provide GL totals on a yearly, quarterly, monthly, or even daily basis to run the profitability and cost management process.

• Finance Source: You use this field to specify different values as in some system landscapes the relevant accounting data is not retrieved from one general ledger. This field is also available in reporting.

• GL Account: You use this field to record revenues and costs at a granular level.

• Currency [TC]: The transaction currency is the currency used to calculate profitability in the sample content. Irrespective of the currency used in an implementation project, the common practice is to translate every amount into the same currency so that only one currency (controlling area currency) is used in the complete profitability model.

• Amount [TC]: You use this field to specify the amount in transaction currency that represents costs or revenues.
