'Distinction between standard and statistical ledgers'

Description

With Release 3.0, the ledgers have been divided into 'standard' and 'special purpose' ledgers.

'Standard ledgers' are those ledgers that are not managed by the FI-SL component (example: ledger '00' is the general ledger of the FI-GL component). These ledgers are no longer edited using the FI-SL tools. This means that these ledgers can no longer be maintained using transactions GCL2 and GCL3. If necessary, you can maintain these standard ledgers in the respective applications (G/L accounting, consolidation, profit center accounting). The standard ledgers use tables which are delivered by SAP.

The remaining ledgers (probably the majority of the ledgers if you are using the FI-SL component) are known as 'special purpose ledgers'. These ledgers refer to coding blocks that you have defined to meet your own requirements.

Note: it is no longer possible to make a direct posting to standard ledgers using GB01 or GB11.
