New General Ledger

New General Ledger

The general ledger in SAP R/3 is highly heterogeneous. In SAP R/3, customers have to implement several SAP components in order to fulfill international and industry-specific accounting requirements. To ease this problem, SAP has created a new, flexible general ledger solution in SAP ERP.

New G/L merges the classic general ledger with profit center accounting, special ledgers (including cost-of sales ledger), and the consolidation-staging ledger.


To make the settings and use the new General Ledger Accounting, one need to activate it.
To do this: SPRO--> Financial Accounting--> Financial Accounting Global Settings --> Activate new General Ledger Accounting  (Or T code is FAGL_ACTIVATION).


Activating General Ledger will have the following effects on SAP screen and system.

  Ledger Accounting (new)- General Ledger Accounting functions appears in the SAP easy access menu under Accounting --> Financial   Accounting --> General Ledger
