mySAP FI NEW GL - Useful Info

Less known functional enhancements in New G/L

Coding Block

User specific account assignment object (e.g. “Region” to support geographic segment reporting) can be created in FI using the Coding Block concept. One of my previous post explains this area: Click Here.

However, they cannot be posted to directly in other application components (Logistics, Controlling) è need to define automatic derivation rules.

Post Processing

Post processing of work lists now becomes relevant (similar to, for example, CATS transfers) as transfer posting errors may arise (e.g. if the FI period is closed when the CO entry is posted) – use transaction FAGLCOFIFLUP

Hide the Old G/L Node

Once you have become familiar with the paths for New General Ledger Accounting, you can run

Program “RFAGL_SWAP_IMG_OLD” to hide the classic Financial Accounting paths.


Segment Derivation

When using Segments in New G/L, the segments are picked from the profit center to which it is assigned. If there is not assignment the segment account assignment does not trigger.

But a custom development can be done using a user exit (BadI): FAGL_DERIVE_SEGMENT

Drill-down Reporting

Transaction FGI0 displays a list of defined program variants, which you can then run instantly.


Technical Info on New G/L

A new totals table is now available which can be used as a template in creating user specific totals tables as well.

FAGLFLEXT – Totals Table

With SAP New G/L, line item entries (ledger specific) are updated in a new set of tables:

FAGLFLKEXA – Actual Line Item

FAGLFLEXP – Planned Line Item

A new table is used to capture the documents posted in relation to the selected parallel ledger valuations carried out at the year-end closing.

Useful Notes in New G/L

If at any time there is (though there never should be) a balance in the “Zero-balance clearing account” when document splitting is used, the following note needs to be implemented:

New GL Clearing Account Balance – 1049224
