Ledger Setup

[AdamP]

Hi,

We are currently creating the scope for a new public cloud customer. During the DDA process the customer wanted IFRS on the leading ledger but no local accounting GAAP except for Poland where they want local GAAP in the next phase of the project. See below matrix for current requirements.

Country	Norway	Sweden	Poland	Denmark
Leading Ledger	0L - IFRS	0L - IFRS	0L - IFRS	0L - IFRS
Local Ledger	N/A	N/A	2L - Local GAAP	N/A

Based on my current understanding we then need to scope J58 to create the leading ledger so that we can have that for Poland in phase 2 and then scope 1GA to get the IFRS settings in the leading ledger. The problem that I do not understand is how we can exclude the local ledger for Norway and Sweden in phase 1?

Which scope item do I need to include and what config do I need to create to meet the customers requirement?

The reason why the customer do not want to have local accounting on e.g. 2L and IFRS on 0L for alla companies is due to the reconciliation work that needs to be done for all the ledgers each month.

Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

It is not possible to activate ledgers for a specific company code.

Local accounting will always be the system's default activation, and you can add IFRS or US GAAP in the initial scoping.

I invite you to read more information about how to define what is the best scenario for your customer in the following blog:

Hi Edna,

Thanks for you reply.

I went in to the links you sent and then found below blogg about ledgers. My current understanding is that I can scope in 0L ledger and 2L ledger. I then assign 0L with IFRS accounting principle as recommended by SAP in Assign Accounting Principles to Ledgers and Company Codes. I then delete the assignment of the non-leading ledger 2L for the companies that do not want to have local accounting principles. Then we should be able to reach the customer requirements.

Please confirm if this is possible?

Regards,

Adam
