Note :- When you activate (new) GL accounting and if you post any transactions system will update
the values not only in (New) G/L tables. But also update the vales in classic G/L account table (GLT0).
In case if you don’t want to the system to update the values classic ledger tables.
You can deactivate the updation the classic ledger tables. After comparing ledger and table and
ensure the values are matched properly.
Compare ledger (special purpose G/L & new G/L)

Parallel Ledger Accounting
What is ledger
Ans ledger is used for reporting purpose.
How many types of ledger do we have in SAP?
Ans two types
1. Leading ledger
2. Non leading ledger
What is leading ledger?
Ans : leading ledger is used for consolidation reporting purpose, where we follows some accounting
principles.
Note:
1. You must define one of the ledger as a leading ledger.
2. You can not define more than one leading ledger.
3. When you post the transactions to each co. code the data will be updated in the leading
ledger automatically.
What is non leading ledger?
Ans: Non leading ledgers are nothing but additional (or) parallel ledger to the leading ledger.
The non leading ledger are used for local accounting principles.
EX: USGAP, German GAAP, TAX Reporting, Indian GAAP etc.
The non leading ledger must be defined at CO. Code specific.
Step-1

Save. It
Note: once the ledger is created it will be created as a ledger group with a same key.
Step-2:
Define currencies of leading ledger
How many currencies we can maintain maximum in a co code?
Ans: 3 currencies apart from our local currency and we can maintain 2 parallel currencies.
It can be a group currency, hand currency, global company currency, index based currency.
Co code - sap
City type – 10
Valuation – 0
Exchange rate type – M

Scenarios Long Text
FIN-CCA Cost center update
FIN-CONS Preparations for consolidations
FIN-GSBER Business area
FIN-PCA Profit center update
FIN-SEGM Segmentation
FIN-UKN Cost of sales activity
Objective:-
In this activity we specify the scenarios which determines what fields in the ledger are to be updated
when it is requires posting from other application component.
Step-5 define ledger group
What is ledger?
Ledger group is nothing but contribution of ledgers for the purpose of applying the same functions
and the process of general ledger accounting to the group as a whole.
When we part the transactions of the data will be updated with all the ledgers assigned in the group.
Note:- when the ledger is created the system automatically generates a ledger group with a same
name in this way we can post the data to individual ledger (or) access it when using functions, where
you only enter ledger groups not ledgers.
Step-6:- what is representative ledgers
The representative ledgers is used to determined the posting period variant.
We must define one of the ledgers as represent ledgers.
In case if the leading ledger exist a ledger group than represent ledger must be the leading
ledger.
Note:- when the posting period of representative ledger is open the postings will be made to all
other assigned ledgers hoe ever their postings periods are closed.
