What is leading and non-leading ledger in the new Gl
configuration?

Answer Posted / zaver raipanchola

Leading Ledger:
The leading ledger is based on the same accounting
principle as that of the consolidated financial statement.
It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated
in all company codes. You must designate one ledger as the
leading ledger.
In each company code, the leading ledger automatically
receives the settings that apply to that company code: the
currencies, the fiscal year variant, and the variant of the
posting periods.
In New G/L, there is one leading ledger for each client
that is valid for all company codes.
The accounting standard to be used in the leading ledger
needs to be decided first.
This assignment cannot be deactivated once it has been
defined.
You can only define one ledger as a leading ledger.
SAP provides the leading ledger 0L as standard.
Only the leading ledger is integrated with CO. Values from
the leading ledger are updated in CO.

Non-Leading Ledger
The non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading
ledger. They can be based for example on local accounting
principles
You must activate a non-leading ledger by company code.
For each ledger that you create, a ledger group of the same
name is automatically created.

SAP DEPRECIATION RUN ERROR: I have a problem with depreciation posting. I have searched the forum but did not find any answer. Net book value of $ 559,350 as on April 2012 was fully depreciated by 31 Mar 2017. Additions between April 2012 and March 2017 were correctly depreciated. However, additions from 01 Apr 2017 were fully depreciated when depreciation program was executed. For example, asset acquisition on 01 May 2017 $ 2400 was fully depreciated ($ 2400) which is not correct. It should be $ 2000*20%/12*11 = $ 440. Subsequently, in Jan 2018, on the acquisition of $ 207, the system has posted a positive depreciation of $ 47,469 on the base value of $ 1,640,423.72!!! More surprisingly, acquisition after that is correctly depreciated. For example, acquisition on Jan of $ 3,488.94 was correctly depreciated by $ 174.45 (3488.94*20%/12*3 months). Here are the details of the configuration of depreciation: · Depreciation method SLM · Base method 0014 · Useful life: 5 years (20% depreciation). · Period control 01/01/01/01 · Depreciation after the end of planned life – the box is “checked”. · There is only ordinary depreciation. · “Only negative values and zero allowed” checked in Rule for positive/negative sign for ordinary depreciation in Depreciation Area. · Fiscal year: April to March · SAP ECC 6.0 Can anybody suggest/help how to fix this?
