Purpose

Within the consolidated financial statements, value-based changes in individual financial data are entered in the SAP system with posting documents. The journal entries, that means the line items of postings to the posting levels of consolidation (posting level 01 to 30), can be displayed by means of the journal entry reports.

You use these components, when you want to create journal entry reports with the help of the predetermined logic.

Implementation Considerations

Choose these components if you want to display the changes in individual financial data, which are based on the consolidation entry. In contrast to the database listing of journal entries, on application of the logic the posting levels are selected. For more information about this logic, read the section "Classification of Entries with Posting Levels" in the unit Postings in the Consolidation manual in the SAP Library.

Features

Fundamental sort criteria are:

You can change the structure of the journal entry report. Settings which are delivered as standard in the journal entry layouts are available for this. Though the above mentioned sort criteria and possible summarizations are predetermined by the journal entry layout.

In addition to that in the section Define Journal Entry Layouts in the Consolidation Implementation Guide, you can define more journal entry layouts according to your requirements.
