In this activity, you define a DataSource for a ledger and assign this DataSource to the ledger.

Note

Ledgers are client specific, but DataSources are cross client objects. An DataSource can only be assigned to one ledger in a client. If you want to assign an InfoSource in various clients, the assigned ledgers must all be created for the same totals table.

Example

Requirements

In order to define an InfoSource for a ledger and to assign it, you must first generate a transfer structure for the totals table of this ledger. The setting is made in Special Purpose Ledger Customizing under Information System -> Business Information Warehouse -> Generate Transfer Structure for Totals Table.

Alternatively, you can make the settings in Customizing for extractors under Business Information Warehouse -> Generated DataSources -> Financial Accounting - Special Purpose Ledger.

Standard settings

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Check whether the DataSource has already been assigned to your ledger.

    In the list, all ledgers are displayed, which have a transfer structure for their totals tables.

    The column Status displays whether an DataSource has been assigned to the ledger. If this is the case, the light will be green. For an existing assignment, you can only change the description.

  2. Select the ledger to which you want to assign an DataSource.
  3. Enter the name of the InfoSource that you want to assign to the ledger.

    The name has to begin with the number 3 and may only contain letters, numbers, and _. The system proposes a name that contains the prefix 3FI_SL_ and the name of the ledger.

    Once you have saved the assignment, you can no longer change the name.

  4. Enter a description for your assignment. To do this, you can use the function Copy ledger text.
  5. Confirm your entries.
  6. Save the assignment.
