Clear G/L Accounts - For Ledger Group
Application component: Posting/Clearing
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  You use clearing specific to ledger groups if you perform parallel accounting using the ledger approach (and not the account approach). Clearing and making postings specific to ledger groups supports you with your closing tasks. You can use the function for all items that, due to parallel accounting, are posted to multiple ledgers and valuated differently in those ledgers, in particular for provisions (such as provisions for commission or process risks, or provisions for creating and checking year-end closing). 
Key features:  If you set the Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups indicator for a G/L account managed on an open item basis, ledger group-specific postings can be made to this account. In this way, you have a ledger group-specific view of the account. Clearing is also performed for specific ledger groups. This means that: Items that you have posted in a specific ledger group can only be processed further within the same ledger group. If you have posted provisions, for example, to specific ledger groups, you also clear those provisions in the same ledger groups. Posting and Clearing In the following transactions, you can make postings for specific ledger groups: Enter G/L Account Document for Ledger Group (FB50L) and General Posting for Ledger Group (FB01L).  In the following transactions, you can perform clearing for specific ledger groups: Manual clearing:Clear G/L Account for Ledger Group (FB1SL) and Post with Clearing for Ledger Group (FB05L)You use both of these transactions in the same way as transactions FB1S and FB05.  Automatic clearing: Automatic Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups (F13L)   Reporting  G/L Account List (Transaction S_ALR_87012328) In the G/L account list, you can see whether the G/L account displayed uses open item management specific to ledger groups. To select all G/L accounts with open item management specific to ledger groups, you can use ledger group-specific clearing as the selection criterion for custom selections, provided you have made the corresponding settings in the logical database SDF (see SAP Note 1086335).  Account Detective (Transaction S_ALR_87101048 or Report RFAUDI30) The Account Detective report uses the Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups column in the G/L account list.  G/L Account Line Item List (Transaction FAGLL03) Here, you can display the line items that were posted to an account with open item management specific to ledger groups. In the entry view, you only see those items that were posted to the leading ledger or to a ledger group containing the leading ledger. The general ledger view lists all items that were posted to the specified G/L account in the specified ledger. The line item list has a Ledger Group column. You can sort the line items by ledger group. Note You cannot use the G/L account line item list from classic General Ledger Accounting (transaction FBL3N) for accounts with open item management specific to ledger groups.  Archiving You can only archive cleared items.  Transporting the Indicator Value It is possible to use the ALE interface to transport the indicator value Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups.  Constraints  Sample Accounts The sample account method (transactions FSM*, such as the creation of sample accounts) as well as the transfer of G/L account master data using transactions FS15 and FS16 do not support the Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups indicator since these transactions use older screen technology. For this reason, you have to set the indicator manually after editing the master data.  Reporting When you call the G/L Account List (RFSKVZ00) program or the G/L account list query, you can only select G/L accounts using the characteristic Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups once you have made the corresponding settings in the logical database SDF. These settings are described in SAP Note 1086335.
