SAP MDGF- GL Account Type Value are not same in MDG and S4 HANA System

[former_member260312]

Hello Experts,

I am facing one issue related to G/L Account Type field values as while creating a GL Account from MDG UI, I have been shown two options as "Balance Sheet Account" and "Profit and Loss Account". As per checking the data model for this field there is a Standard data element and Domain is Assigned as "USMDZ1_ACCTYP2".

But as per checking in backend for the GL Account type as "GLACCOUNT_TYPE" we have four values as:-

As per selecting the 'Profit and Loss Account" from MDG UI for any GL account number, it is getting mapped to "Nonoperating Expense or Income".

As per the rule MDG and Backend system must have same value but its not happening in this case. As both the data element are standard out of box and we don't have any custom development also MDG-F is on flex mode, so we dont have SMT mapping as well where I can see.

Can anyone please suggest/help in this regard as how can we maintain consistency for this field value.

Any helpful pointers will be rewarded.

Regards

Bala

Hi Prateek,

Please let me know how the issue was resolved. I am getting the same issue.

It is by design that till MDG 9.1 it uses the traditional way creating GL's and Cost Elements as you see in ECC versions, while HANA system has clubbed the functionality into one user interface.

In order to achieve the same look and feel as HANA, we need to either upgarde to MDG 9.2 on HANA 1809 or go for custom developments within MDG 9.1 to add additional dropdown values and utilize OSS Note 20212464 and to SAP-How-To-Guide MDG-F - Enable Primary Cost Elements for Account.

Hi,

I faced the same issue and struggle quite comme time and in fact you need to create your G/L Accoutn first and add the primary cost in the section of the G/L account (UIBB is available for this). The system will automatically create the relevant cost element. You can process your cost element if required.

Once ready, proceed to replication in back end, the system will create your cost element as a G/L account with the proper values.

Please refer to OSS Note 20212464 and to SAP-How-To-Guide MDG-F - Enable Primary Cost Elements for Account

Hi

When you create a GL account, MDG will map the GL properly with your ECC data. But when you load the data, you have adjust your data with 1 and 2 with your balance sheet and P&L account. This is common in all MDG versions.
