In the reconciliation ledger, the data from Accounting is summarized and valuated. Cost flows over company code and business area boundaries, as well as those occurring exclusively in Controlling (secondary postings) not noted in Financial Accounting, can be passed on further in this manner. Reconciliation between internal and external accounting is thereby secured.

You do not need the reconciliation ledger in the following situations:

  • no profit and loss accounting using cost of sales accounting occurs
  • there is no interest in cross-application reports
  • there is no interest in evaluating cross-company-code and cross- business area postings

Before CO postings can be updated online in the reconciliation ledger, the ledger must be activated.

CO postings are updated online from the time of activation in the reconciliation ledger. No automatic repostings are made for previous periods. If you want to take all periods in the fiscal year into account, you must make separate repostings manually for the periods before the reconciliation ledger was activated.

Example

If you activate the reconciliation ledger for your controlling area in period 3, the values for periods 1 and 2 are missing. Reconciliation with FI in some cases will not be completely processed (if cross-company-code or cross-business-area postings were made in periods 1 and 2). You therefore must repost manually to the reconciliation ledger.

Note

Controlling area maintenance indicates whether the reconciliation ledger is activated or deactivated for the controlling area.

Recommendation

Activate the reconciliation ledger at the start of a new posting period. This ensures that the complete data from this period is available in the ledger.

Activities

  1. Activate the reconciliation ledger in your controlling area at the start of a new posting period.
  2. If necessary, repost for previous periods in your controlling area.

    To do so, choose Reconciliation ledger -> Repost.

Note on transport

The indicator Reconciliation Ledger active is transported with the controlling area settings. For this transport, an individual function exists in the Controlling: General section of the IMG.

Further Notes

For more information on the reconciliation ledger, see the SAP Library under AC - Financials -> CO - Controlling -> Cost Element Accounting -> Functions in Cost Element Accounting".
