SAP CHART OF ACCOUNTS/ G/L

[Former Member]

Hi All

I am referring & following a case study from SAP book. I created “EXCA” chart of accounts by copying from Chart of account “CAUS” via Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting> G/L Accounts> Master Data > G/L Account Creation & Processing > Alternative Methods > Copy G/L Accounts > Copy Chart of Accounts.

Then  created company codes 1100, ES10, ES20, ES40 for US locations and linked chart of accounts “EXCA” to each one of them under "Enter Global Parameters".

Then I go under “GL Accounts under General Ledger->Master Records->individual processing-FSS0-In Company Code” on the primary SAP screen  and try to configure G/L Account in EXCA for Company code 1100.It gives an error message “This Account 473121 does not exist in chart of accts "EXCA" for specified co. code 1100".

How do I know what G/L account numbers are available or already created under "CAUS". Do I need to make any changes in Chart of
accounts “EXCA” after copying from SAP supplied Chart of accounts “CAUS”.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hello,

The best way to check the GL accounts available in chart of accounts is to check at table level.

Go to T.code : SE16 or SE16N, and give the table name as "SKA1",

Give chart of accounts as "EXCA" or "CAUS" and execute, you will get the list of GL accounts available at chart of accounts level.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

You could make use of the options Copy Chart of Accounts and Copy Company Code which exists under Alternative Method > Copy GL Accounts

Dear Khajit,

You can check the available G/L accounts in FSS0 as well as in FS00 for chart of accounts "CAUS". You do not need to make any changes in chart of accounts.

Go to FS00 and check whether you can display your G/L accounts.

Hello Khaljit,

You can check all the GL accounts created under the chart of account in the table SKA1 (t-code Se16). TO check if the GL account exist in company code, you can make use of the table SKB1.

Also, following t-codes are important -  FSS0 (Create/edit GL account Company code data), FSP0(create/ edit GL account CoA data) and FS00(create/ edit GL account centrally)

Hello Khajit,

Please note:

when G/L is create into company code it is mandatory that the G/L must have been created in chart of accounts first.

If you create the G/L in company code in FSS0 and if that G/L does not exist into chart of accounts segment then system will not allow you to create a company code segment.

You want to maintain segment separately then you must follow the below sequence.

*Chart of accounts segment.

*Company code segment
