Hi Experts

Iam very much confused with the following.

When we are defining document types and document number ranges in ECC 6.0 what is and the difference between

1) Define Document types for entry view in a ledger

2) Define document types for general ledger view

3) Define Document Number Rangers for General Ledger View

Pl. explain clearly,

In General Ledger Accounting, the document types you define for the documents in the entry view need to be different to those for the documents in the general ledger view:

· Document Types for Documents in Entry View

¡ For your leading ledger, you can use the document types delivered by SAP or you can define your own document types.

¡ For your non-leading ledgers, you only need to define separate document types for documents in the entry view for those ledgers that are used as the representative ledger in a ledger group.

· Document Types for Documents in General Ledger View

¡ For the leading ledger, the document in the entry view corresponds to the document in the general ledger view. Consequently, you do not need to define separate document types for documents in the general ledger view.

¡ For your non-leading ledgers, you only need to define separate document types for documents in the general ledger view if the fiscal year variant of the non-leading ledger differs from the fiscal year variant of the leading ledger in a given company code.
