What is special purpose ledger?

Answer Posted / saraswathy swaminathan

Special Purpose Ledger. The word special itself means specific transactions not the usual FI Postings.

Special purpose ledger takes care of tax relevant postings in the April -March Period. It requires that you implement this particular ledger along with the movement types and table groups and then conduct GL postings to see whether the document generated also contain Special GL ledger documents.

The first step is to create table groups which will in turn auto create 5 tables. You check the technical characteristics of the Plan Line Item table (created at number 3) where you identify and modify periods (default is 16,, standard sap needs 13 periods only) and then you click install and set it up to include specific standard types FI-SL RFBU and RGL0 for Actual posting.

Finally you test it by doing a FB50 GL posting, note the document numbers and check document environment to look whether documents in accounting now include Spec. Purpose Ledger.

Highly critical to conduct diagonisis while doing this implementation. Hope this helps
