accounts. Key name, language, length of general ledger
account number, integration with controlling management as
manual (or) automatic consolidation as group chart of
accounts, status as black
The information entered in the chart of account segment for
a GL accounts applies to all company codes.
The company code segment is added to the chart of accounts
segment & together they form the account.
WE can assign a group account no. for each GL account.
This accounts no. is used for cross company code reporting.
If the company codes use different chart of accounts.
Every company code that wants to use an account from the
assigned chart of accounts has to create its own company
code segment.
For each GL account, the COA contains the account no.
Account name.

master record. These include the specifications whether a
GL account is a Balance sheet or a profit and loss account.

types of accounts. They cab be grouped into different
accounts groups. (Group accounts with the same tasks with
