Use

In this Customizing activity, you define the ledgers that you use in general ledger accounting. The ledgers are based on a totals table. SAP recommends that you use the shipped standard totals table FAGLFLEXT.

A distinction is made between the following ledger types:

  • Leading Ledger

    The leading ledger is based on the same accounting principle as that of the consolidated financial statement. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes. You must designate exactly one ledger as the leading ledger.

    In each company code, the leading ledger is automatically assigned the settings that apply to that company code: the currencies, the fiscal year variant, and the variant of the posting periods.

  • Non-Leading Ledger

    The non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading ledger. They can be based, for example, on local accounting principles such as German Commercial Code.

    You have to activate a non-leading ledger for each company code.

For each ledger that you create, a ledger group of the same name is automatically created.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

Create your ledgers for general ledger accounting and set the Leading indicator for one of the ledgers.

Caution:

As soon as the leading ledger contains transaction data, the Leading indicator can no longer be deselected.
