Before you begin preparations for G/L account creation in the system, you may have to revise your existing G/L chart of accounts.

This may be necessary because:

  • You want to reduce the number of G/L accounts you are using.
  • Your current organization has several legally independent companies using different G/L accounts, but you now want them all to use the same chart of accounts in the SAP System.
  • You want to extend the length of the account numbers.
  • Your cost accounting operations are currently carried out in financial accounting, but in the future you want to implement cost accounting as a separate component.

Activities

Prior to creating a chart of accounts and G/L accounts in the system, you should go through the following activities to find out which accounts your organization requires.

  1. Determine the account classification (such as standard chart of accounts) you want to use to structure your chart of accounts.
  2. Find out from your employees which G/L accounts are needed for which business transactions and which accounts they currently post to.
  3. Identify the accounts which are no longer required.
  4. Determine which particular accounts are used for automatic postings or special G/L transactions in the SAP system. Decide which of these you want to include in your chart of accounts. To do this, analyze the charts of accounts delivered with the standard system.

Additional Information

The Financial Accounting documentation describes those G/L accounts that are specially needed in the SAP system for each business topic.
