FI Posting in a new Ledger

Hi people,

Please, could you help me?

Today we have "3 Ledgers", where only one is set as a "Leading Ledger" (only one can be set). For exemple: Ledger A (Leading Ledger), B and  C.

And we have  "6 Ledgers Group", where we have, for example:

Ledger Group     A-        Ledger Assignment: A

Ledger Group     B-        Ledger Assignment: B

Ledger Group     C-        Ledger Assignment: C    

Ledger Group     D-        Ledger Assignment: A, B

Ledger Group     E-        Ledger Assignment: A, C

Ledger Group     F-        Ledger Assignment: B, C

The people show the necessity that they have to have posting in the Ledger C. This one is not used yet.

Besides that, they need that this ledger must be a copy from Ledger B, except the "depreciation accounts". This one, they want to receive posting from a Specific Depreciation Area.

Please, could you answer these questions?

1) I thought that we could use the Ledger Group F becuase the configuration (Ledger B with Rep Ledger set and the Ledger C), but in my test, when I made a posting in the Group F, the system doesn´t show any register in the Ledger C, only in the Ledger B (by transaction FAGLL03) and I try to see this posting in transation F.01, the system shows us the mesenger error: "Data cannot be posted to the combination Ledger C company Code X".

Please, what is the procedure we can have to do, to have posting in Ledger C?

2) How we can make to take the "Depreciation posting" from a sprecific Depreciation Area?

3) How we can make about previous year (historic)?

Thanks a lot,

RGN.

Hi,

1) You need assign this ledger to Company code to be able to post to this ledger.

2)If you're on old FI-AA then you need create two depr. areas(second is Delta area),

but if you are on new FI-AA then you need create one now depr area and assign ledger group to it.

Hi,

Please go through below reply:-

1) Yes, you can use the ledger group which is having Ledger B and C to have same posting in both the ledgers. You are getting error ‘Data cannot be posted to the combination Ledger..’ because of missing configuration at configuration node ‘Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers’. You can get that clue from the message ‘GU167’.Please find below screen shot for the same:

2) For “Depreciation posting" from a specific Depreciation Area, you can use the Target Group at configuration of ‘Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger’. Specify the ledger group which only contain ledger ‘B’ or ledger ‘C’. Please find below screen shot for the same:

3) Historic data:

If posting is done without assignment of the ledger (refer point #1) than you need to contact SAP for migrating historical data. SAP will provide their consulting service which is chargeable for migration of historical data only to non-leading ledger.

Risk of such subsequent changes is also highlighted in the SAP note # 891144 - FI-GL (new)/document splitting: Risks of subsequent changes.

Hello Raichura!

Before, thank you very much for your explanation! It was very usefull and help me a lot.

Before close this, I would like to make only some questions based on the OSS Note (Impacts) 891144.

I noticed that the impact is related with we want to change some thing in the "splitting".

What we want is basicaly "Activate Non Leading Ledger" to receive posting and link that in a specific depreciation area.

Do you see some impact in what we want to do?

Independent on that, I will make some tests in the Test Client, but I am worry if I change the configuration like "Activate Non Leading Ledger" it could show us some inconsistence and we can not back again. Other people use this Client for other test.

Thank you again!

Hi,

Agree SAP note 891144 is for document splitting but it also talk about subsequent change in ledger definition in below points:-

System will have data inconsistency if you activate and deactivate the ledger definition or assignment. There was similar case were non-leading ledger assignment was missed at time of configuration and after subsequent period non-leading ledger was assigned. Business needed to take help of SAP services for correcting data inconsistency.
