Documentation

Definition

With the P&L statement account type, you determine the retained earnings account for each P&L account. The retained earnings account is used during year-end closing to calculate the company's result.

If you are creating a P&L account, you must make an entry here.

Dependencies

If you determine during a fiscal year that you mistakenly designated a G/L account as a P&L account instead of a balance sheet account, you will need to change its master record. You will then have to rerun program SAPF011 to correct the balances of the G/L accounts carried forward.
