Use
In this IMG activity, you can add fields to a totals table in General Ledger Accounting. The totals table you use can be the standard totals table FAGLFLEXT delivered by SAP or one of your own totals tables. In the totals table, you can include either standard fields from the accounting document or customer fields that you added to the coding block.
Adding fields to the totals table generates additional data records. Each new field that you include increases the data volume. This has a negative effect on performance and uses up more memory. For this reason, you should not include any more account assignments than you actually require. This is especially true of fields that can take a large number of values (such as internal order, customer order, or WBS element). From the technical point of view, the customer include CI_GLFLEX04_INC is created with this enhancement.
When enhancements are made at the totals record level, the system extends the line item records without generating additional data records. This type of enhancement can therefore be considered uncritical. From the technical point of view, the customer include CI_GLFLEXA is created with this enhancement.
Defining Your Own Totals Table
This IMG activity enables you to define your own totals table as the basis for your ledgers. Choose Extras -> Create Table Group. The system then creates the totals table as well as the corresponding line item table.
Caution
SAP recommends using the standard totals table delivered by SAP. Certain functions in General Ledger Accounting (such as planning and reporting) are based on this standard totals table. If the delivered table does not meet your requirements and you define your own totals table, you need to ensure that these functions also access the totals table you have defined.
Requirements
If you want to add a customer-defined field, you need to have already included this field in the coding block. Choose Edit Coding Block.
Standard settings
Activities
- To make an enhancement to a totals table, choose Change.
- Enter the desired fields under Field Names. The following options are available for doing this:
- To include a customer field, double-click it under Customer Fields.
- To include an accounting document standard field that is delivered by SAP, double-click it under More Fields.
- Save your entries and activate your enhancement.
- To check the overall installation, choose Check.
- To create database indices for the summary tables as well as actual and plan line items, choose Database Indices. The creation of new indices is not mandatory. However, creating an appropriate index can improve performance.
- Assign the fields to the desired ledgers. For this, choose the IMG activity Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers.
Notes on Transport
- Use one customer development class for all objects created and include all objects in the same transport request. Otherwise, a transport to the target system is not possible.
- Use only one correction order for all actions performed. In this way, you ensure that the objects are transported to the target system in the correct chronological order.
