Change Chart of Accounts Data (SAP Library - General Ledger Accounting)

Change Chart of Accounts Data

In this activity you can change the master data in the chart of accounts area for several G/L accounts at the same time. The G/L accounts do not all have to be in the same chart of accounts.

Note

Note that changes to existing G/L accounts are effective once saved and could have extensive consequences. You should thus verify your changes before saving.

You have the following options:

Restrict data

You can restrict the number of G/L accounts that you wish to change:

You can enter a chart of accounts and a company code interval.

You can include additional selection fields. To do this, choose Choose Selection Fields.

Changing data

You can make changes to the displayed G/L accounts:

You can select the fields to be changed. To do this, choose Choose fields.

You can change the values of the fields displayed. Enter the new values in the header New to replace the existing values. For all G/L accounts selected, the old value is replaced with the new value. To do this, choose Change field values.

You can restrict the changes to certain G/L accounts. When doing so, you replace an old value with a new value. To do this, choose Restrictions . Enter the new value in the header New and the old value in the header line Repl (abbreviation of replace).

After the change is made, you can display the old values along with the new values for each G/L account. To do this, choose Old values.

Before saving, you can reverse your changes by choosing Reverse changes . Once you have saved the data, this function is no longer available.

Activities

To make changes to multiple G/L accounts at one time, proceed as follows:

1. Restrict the display of the G/L accounts.

2. Choose Execute.

3. If you have selected a large number of G/L accounts, the system asks you how you want to carry out the change. Choose Display all records.

4. Make the desired changes.

5. Save the changes.
