Special Purpose Ledger

Special Purpose Ledgers are ledgers that you can define for your specific business and
organizational requirements. The ledgers contain the dimensions you enter. You can create
Special Purpose Ledgers in your FI-SL system.
Step 1) Define Table Directory
IMG Path: Financial Accounting (New) -> Special Purpose Ledger->Basic Settings->Tables-

performs the express installation for the respective functions using default settings and
values.

Step 2) Maintain Table Directory

Financial Accounting (New) -> Special Purpose Ledger->Basic Settings-> Maintain Table

In this step, you can call up a directory of all the tables used in the Special Purpose Ledger
system and display or maintain these tables. The table directory is updated automatically
when you install an FI-SL table. You should only maintain it manually if absolutely
necessary.
Step 3) Maintain Fixed Field Movement:
Financial Accounting (New)-> Special Purpose Ledger->Basic Settings-> Maintain Fixed Field

SL receiver table. Table T800M is updated automatically if you install a FI-SL table you
should only maintain the table manually if absolutely necessary. You should under no
circumstances delete entries from this table.

When assigning activities to your company code/ledger and global company/ledger
combinations, you define a field grouping code for each combination. This field grouping
code determines which dimensions from other SAP application areas are transferred to
dimensions in the FI-SL system. In the “Maintain Field Movement” step you can maintain the
field grouping codes for your activities.
Step 5) Define Ledger
