Documentation

Definition

Ledger within a ledger group that is used to determine and check the posting period during postings.

Use

You must designate exactly one ledger in a ledger group as the representative ledger. The representative ledger of a ledger group is used to control the following during postings:

• The posting period is determined
• The system checks whether the posting period is open

After determining and checking the posting period, the system makes postings to all assigned ledgers of the ledger group depending on the fiscal year variant of each individual ledger.

Caution

When the posting period of the representative ledger is open, the postings are made to all other assigned ledgers, even if their posting periods are closed.
