Creating a Master Record in the FI General Ledger Company Code

You can create G/L master records in company codes separately from G/L master records in a chart of accounts. The master record has to exist in the chart of accounts before you can create a G/L account master record in the company code. For details about creating a G/L account master record in a chart of accounts, see Creating a Master Record in the Chart of Accounts.

To create a G/L account master record in the company code, proceed as follows:

1. From the General ledger menu, Select Master records
® Company code ® Create.

The initial screen appears.

2. Enter the G/L account number and the company code, and choose
ENTER. You must have already created a G/L account master record with this number in the chart of accounts.
3. Enter values in the fields of your G/L account master record and choose
ENTER.

The local currency is the default value in the currency field. You can overwrite this default value. If you have assigned a sample account to an account in the chart of accounts, other fields may already contain values.

4. Once you have created the master record, save the data.

You can save your data at any time, however, by choosing G/L account ® Save.

If you have created master records in one company code and need exactly the same master records in other company codes, you can use the Master records ® Compare company code ® Send function within the General Ledger menu to distribute the newly created master records to other company codes.
