Copy Chart of
Accounts
You can create a chart of accounts as well as
the accounts for it by copying an existing chart. This method is suited for
copying one of the supplied charts of accounts and then making minor changes
to the copy.
You need not change the standard chart of
accounts if you copy it. You can choose which specifications the system should
copy. Specifications can be copied from the following areas:
- Accounts in chart of
accounts
After you copy this
area, you only have to create the account's company code area for your chart.
To do this, execute the next activity
"Copy Company Code".
The system will copy
the account groups and any sample accounts that exist.
If you select this
area, the system will copy all account determination entries which are defined
in the chart of accounts you are copying.
- AM, MM, HR, and SD account
determination
Since the
applications are integrated, you can maintain all table entries that are
dependent on chart of accounts directly in Financial Accounting. Entries for
each individual application can be specified and maintained separately from
one another.
- Financial statement
version
To copy a financial
statement version as well, you need to specify the source and target versions.
The system will then create a new financial statement version under the target
version name you specify.
Caution
Tables included in the copy procedure cannot be
maintained and blocked by another user at the same time you execute the copy
procedure.
Activities
Copy the objects you require by selecting the
appropriate areas in the popup. The system then displays the necessary input
fields based on your selections.
