Dear Experts,

I have Non leading ledger active in the system.

1. How we can make sure if we want to post certain entries in Leading ledger only. This not about Asset
Aqisition.

Use FB50L and FB01L

Specify the Ledger group

Tables to see Ledger specific postings are - FAGLFLEXA, BSEG_ADD

Hi Ruksana,

If you are having different ledgers, in that want to post to specific

ledger, in that case you need to post it through FB01L and
FB50L......otherwise go for normal transaction...

For second questions.....

Can you be more specific, what kind of CO reports you want.....

In the standard reports, you have the option for ledger specific
reports.......

I hope you try if somebody answer your question. We read the question and answer.

FB50L and FB01L are used for Ledger specific postings.

Exception is , you can't post the Open item managed GL accounts through FB50L and
FB01L.

This is clear.

I have posted a document and advised you.

Hope you understand.

Hi Ruksana,

1. How we can make sure if we want to post certain entries in

Leading ledger only.

Ex:

you have 2 Non Leading Ledgers - A1, B1

Leading Ledger - 0L

If you want post Non Leading Ledger A1 Only go to FB01L enter

A1 in Ledger Grp

If you want post Non Leading Ledger B1 Only go to FB01L enter

B1 in Ledger Grp

If you want post Leading Ledger 0L Only go to FB01L enter A1 in

Ledger Grp

Entry will be posted in Ledger Group which you selected

See the Screen Shot

You can use the regular reports for Ledger specific postings in CO also...

Like, KSB1 for Cost center line items

KOB1 - IO postings

KE5Z - PCA postings

Hi Naras,

But tell me one thing, it is said that only leading ledger is linked to
controlling. How these value will be updated those reports which
you have mentioned.

Please let me know if it is possible to link other ledger also to CO.

Dear,

Ledger is assigned to FI documents, i did not see the Ledger assigned in CO which is not
possible.

As you assign the Cost object or PA object to any GL while posting in FI, it shows you in
the respect report.

You can find the table - COBK for controlling documents header details.

You can also see the CO document no in KSB1, KOB1 and KE5Z reports with ref to FI
document.

Thanks

1. As posted by several others, yes you can post to specifically 0L only using FB01L and
FB50L. The transactions work for leading ledger as well as for non-leading ledgers. And
yes, as you guessed, you need a ledger group that has only ledger 0L assigned to it, to be
able to make this posting.

2. You are right again - only values from the leading ledger are sent to CO. Please see
page 40 of the following link.

Dear Srikant,

Thanks for the reply, really helpful.

I understand that no posting is made to controlling from Non leading

ledger. In practical when we are maintaing a accounting principle
(as non leading ledger) CO reports must be required. What we do
in that case. Do we have any workaround to get CO reports for
Accounting principles (non leading ledger). What is done
practically?.

Please also let me know if document splitting does not work for non
leading ledger. if yes. How we get balance sheet on profit
center/segment level for accounting principles which are maintained
with non leading ledger?

Best Regards

Ruksana

Help me understand the following statement.

"In practical when we are mantaining an accounting principle (as non-leading ledger), CO
reports must be required."

In my mind, CO is really internal reporting to an enterprise. Non-leading ledgers (and the

associated accounting principles) are really from an external reporting standpoint - US
GAAP, IFRS, etc.

Document splitting does work for non-leading ledgers as well and the requisite dimension
flows through to the totals table as long as you ensure that the appropriate scenarios are
assigned to your non-leading ledgers. Here are the available scenarios:

FIN_CCA Cost Center Update (cost center flows to your totals table, FAGLFLEXT,
example)

FIN_CONS Preparations for Consolidation (trading partner)

FIN_GSBER Business Area (business area)

https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3207845 8/12
11/17/2017 FI Posting to Leading Ledger only (without hitting Non- Leading Ledger)

FIN_PCA Profit Center Update (profit center)

FIN_SEGM Segment Reporting (segment)

FIN_UKV Cost of Sales Accounting

The following note describes what the assignment of each scenario does.

Dear Srikant,

That note is really helpful. Thanks a lot.

I understand that these sceanrios updated certain fields certain

tables. Is that mean that I should take all the scenarios for my
ledgers to be at safer side (requirement may come in future)? or
there are other things which are to be taken into consideration while
assigning the scenarios. What are those?

Best Regards

Ruksana

I think the requirements should be finalized with your business (client) before setting up
the scenarios for your ledgers. If you assign all scenarios, your totals table will grow in
size, because the more scenarios you add to your totals table, lesser will be the
summarization in the totals table records. No client will need all dimensions, viz., profit
center, cost center, business area, segment, and trading partner. Please finalize that first
and then decide the scenarios to be assigned.

PS: I am not going to answer any more questions on this thread . You need to do
your research to become an SME on this topic, so you could help out others!!
