Budget Period Template in New General Ledger

To make use of the budget period account assignment element in the new General Ledger (G/L), you must either create a new ledger in the new scenario including the budget period or migrate the data from your old scenario, which did not include the budget period, to the new one.

Proceed as follows:

1. If you want to use a new ledger, you must first create it. To do this, access Customizing and choose Financial Accounting (New) —> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) —> Ledgers —> Ledger —> Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting.

2. Choose New Entries in the resulting view and enter a 2–character identifier and a name for your new ledger. Specify totals table PSGLFLEXT for the new ledger.

3. In the same part of Customizing, choose Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers.

4. Select your ledger (either the new one created above or your old one) in the resulting list and choose Scenarios in the Dialog Structure. Then choose New Entries.

5. In the resulting list, enter scenario PS_BUDPER (Budget Period and Fund) for your ledger.

6. If you are using an old ledger, you need to migrate your data from the old scenario to the new. Use transaction FAGL_MIGPS to do this.

7. Drilldown reporting is available for the budget period. To access it, use transaction FGIO and pick report type 6: Reporting for PSGLFLEXT, where you can access the following reports:

   • G/L Accounts — Balances

   • Fin.Statement: Actual/Actual Comparison

   • Transaction Figures: Account Balance

   • Cash Flow
