Delete GL Accounts at company code level

[former_member133489]

Hello:)

Do you know if there is any option of deleting GL accounts at company code level? I am aware of Gl Renumbering where you can set the Not Used indicator at chart of accounts level. I am part of a S/4 Hana Cloud greenfield implementation with 7 countries (14 company codes in scope). The countries were not activated all at once. So, after the first countries were activated, some GL accounts were renumbered, created only for some company codes (bank accounts, payroll accounts etc). Now, every time when a new country is activated, all the accounts are extended for the new company codes. We are using the YCOA (Standard Chart of Accounts). Any idea how we can manage this? Ideally, it would be when we ask a new country activation to specify the accounts to be extended (anyway this is too late for us) but at least, we would like to have the option to delete the extension at company code level.

Thank you,

Diana

Hi Diana,

at the moment deletion of G/L accounts is not possible , not even at company code level.

The process of adding a new country will trigger the extension of the predelivered G/L accounts( even if they were renumbered) to the new country/default company code if that particular account is relevant in standard for the country added.

Accounts created manually have to be extended the same way to a new country but the standard ones are included in the initial activation .

Your only option is to block the account at company code level if the usage of that particular account is not needed in that country and company code assuming that the renumbering was made correct in the first place.

If you renumber a global account into a value that is not supposed to be used outside a country the mapping was not correct since the account was not a country specific account in standard delivery and renumbering will not change that.
