Documentation

Definition

This indicator is required for validating accounts.

The indicator is used to define to which chart of accounts, the accounts that are updated in the ledger belong.
The assigned chart of accounts determines how the master data check will take place and which retained earnings account is used for carrying forward the ledger balance. When the balance is carried forward, the P+L accounts are carried forward to a retained earnings account.
Depending on the account type, a special retained earnings account must also be used for the balance carry forward.

The various settings are described based on the balance carry forward example.
There can be up to four different chart of acccounts.

The following indicators are possible:

• blank: Operative chart of accounts (company code chart of accounts)
  Ledger with G/L accounts (RACCT = BSEG-HKONT).
  This is the normal case scenario.
  The retained earnings account of the operative chart of accounts is used.
  This is normally the case if the G/L account number from field HKONT of table BSEG is stored in field RACCT of the ledger.
• 1: Corporate chart of accounts
  Ledger with corporate account numbers (RACCT = BSEG-ALTKT).
  The retained earnings account of the corporate group is used.
  This is normally the case if the corporate account number from field ALTKT of table BSEG is stored in field RACCT of the ledger.
• 2: Country-specific chart of accounts (local chart of accounts)
  Ledger with local account numbers (RACCT = BSEG-LOKKT).
  The retained earnings account of the country-specific chart of accounts should be used.
  This is normally the case if the local account number from field LOKKT of table BSEG is stored in field RACCT of the ledger.
• 9: Separate chart of accounts
  The retained earnings account should be freely assigned.
  In this case, you have to enter a separate chart of accounts for the ledger. A retained earnings account must be specified for this chart of accounts.
