GL Description at Company Code Level.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are doing roll out project. At present they are maintaining one chart of accounts for the existing company codes. We created new company code by using the existing chart of accounts and extended the necessary General Ledgers at company code level.

Here, the main problem is that new company code is expecting different description for its company code. I suggested Key word maintainence at General Ledger level and can be selected 'Key Word' at transaction level data entering time. But the main problem is that it is Chart of Accounts level. But they are expecting at company code level only.

If any alternative method for arranging description at company code level, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for the same.

Regards.

Hi

G/L account texts are always maintained at CoA level and stored in table SKAT.

If in ECC5.0 or above, you can achieve that using New GL accounting concept.

Please reward points if found useful

Thanking you,

Hi

as far my knowledge concerns, it is not possible to have like that. You can only change the name of GL account and Chart of Account level. Account names are stored at the chart of account level. They are stored for each language. Since a chart of account can be assigned to more than one company code, the centrally stored account name is used for all company codes that have this chart of account assigned to it.

if you use a specific language at your company code you can ask that the translation of the account name in the language which is assigned to your company code is changed. If more than one company code uses this language, then the change will effect all those company codes.

Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for your inputs.

GL Account Creation, one tab is there that is Information (Company Code) Under that GL Account Texts in Company Code one option is there. If we maintain any information under that nothing option is available at the time of transaction data GL selection time. In fact, what is the use of that.

Our main concern is at the time of transaction data posting time, they want to find out the gl as per their description. Of course, I suggested to maintain desction in key word under information (Chart of Account). But the main concern is that it is chart of accounts level.

Hi

This is to mainatain text in different langauge. You can maintain different text for same language too. It cuases serious confusion among users in different company codes.
