Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL)

A definition that determines how data is summarized in a rollup ledger.

For certain high-level reports and valuations, the data in a ledger may be too detailed. Using rollup functions, you can summarize the information contained in one or more original ledgers in a rollup ledger.

There are the following types of rollups:

• Standard rollups - Data is summarized in one or more rollup ledgers using one or more rollup sequences.
• Hierarchical rollups - Data is summarized in a rollup ledger based on a hierarchical structure (such as cost center hierarchy).
• Export rollups - Data from local systems is summarized in central systems.
