Some Issues in New G/L
When will the GL arrive? Is it still possible to use the old GL? Can we use both? Does everything look different in the new GL? How can we migrate from the old to the new GL?

Using the New G/L

For new installations of ECC5, the New G/L is activated by default For existing SAP customers, the New G/L is optional. During an upgrade, the Classic G/L is activated initially. Existing customers can migrate to the New G/L after the upgrade.

Impact of Activating the New GL (1)

Activation is done in configuration after which: In the SAP reference IMG, the Financial Accounting menu is replaced with the Financial Accounting (New) menu The tables of the New GL are activated posting data is written to them Note that tables of the Classic GL (GLT0) continue to be updated by default Allows for reconciliation of posting results between both sets of tables during implementation to ensure that the New GL is working properly Once this has been validated, the Classic GL can be deactivated

New transactions are inserted into the application menu Certain Classic GL functions are no longer available for use (e.g. SAPF180, SAPF181) The ledger group appears in various transactions (e.g. document entry, reporting selection criterion)

Segments in New G/L

The Segment field is a standard account assignment object available in mySAP ERP It can be used for reporting analysis below the Company Code level (Segment Reporting) Segment reporting gives a detailed look at the different activity areas of a company, such as: Business divisions Products Markets Previously used account assignment objects for this purpose were: Business Area Profit Center Profitability Segment
Page 19 Think Tree Technologies,Inc
Segment reporting aims:

to give detailed insight into different business activities of a diversified company to offer information about the general environment in order to better understand the economical performance better forecast the potential of revenue and financial back-up better anticipate risks and opportunities and more... of the respective company.

Segmental Reporting Requirements

IA distinguishes between business and geographic segments. S
Abusiness segm represents a partial activity of the com ent pany that delivers a product or a service with risks and revenues that differs from those of other business segm ents. s Ageographic segm inform about risks and revenues that differs ent fromother geographic segm ents in term of econom political ... etc s ic, reasons.
A ccording to US-GAA a segm is a part of the com P ent pany which leads to expenses and revenues and which underlies to its own profitability and allocation of resources.
IA and US-GAA Asegm has to be reported if external revenues S P: ent achieve 10%of the total revenues.

Segment Reporting/Profit Center Accounting Integration (1)

Once the New General Ledger is activated, a new field appears in the Profit Center master record: the Segment
Page 22
Segment Reporting/Profit Center Accounting Integration (2)

Segments are defined in the IMG as part of the Enterprise Structure One possible use: support GAAP business segment reporting An FI account assignment object that cannot be posted to directly, it can be derived either from its Profit Center association or from a Business Add In Possible to configure a default constant value when the profit center/segment is not known at the time of posting Possible to run FI balance sheets at either the segment or the Profit Center level at any point in time (due to Document Splitting and COFI Real-time integration functionality described elsewhere in this presentation) Result: Satisfies requirements for both financial segment reporting and management responsibility accounting

Segment/Management Reporting Customer Fields

Within the New GL it is possible to extend the SAP-delivered coding block to include customer-defined fields (e.g. Region to support geographic segment reporting) These fields, once defined in configuration and assigned to ledgers, become FI account assignment objects However, they cannot be posted to directly in other application components (Logistics, Controlling) need to define automatic derivation rules Similar to Segments, Profit Centers and Functional Areas, it is possible to run FI financial statements against values within this dimension
