Can'r create a new cycle using the newly created extended ledger.

suyoung_choi3 — Fri, 30 May 2025 08:37:30 GMT

Dear all,

I created a new Extended ledger "Z1" for management accounting purposes.
I want to carry out the allocation job using cycle after posting the expenses in the extended ledger.
I cannot specify extended ledger on the cycle creation screen.
I want to know if the costs posted in the extend ledger cannot be allocated.

Thank you.

Hello @suyoung_choi3 ,

Thank you for your question.

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the standard allocation framework (e.g., for assessment and distribution cycles) currently does not support execution based on Extended Ledgers (e.g., ledger “Z1”).

Key System Limitation:

Allocation cycles (e.g., for cost center or profit center allocations) are executed only in the standard ledger (0L) or in specific ledgers pre-enabled by SAP for legal/statutory reporting.
As of today, Extended Ledgers (like Z1) are not selectable in allocation cycle configuration and are not supported for allocation processing.
Costs posted to an extended ledger remain isolated for analytical or reporting purposes and cannot be processed in allocation runs.

Recommended Workarounds:

Perform Allocations in Standard Ledger (0L)

Post original costs in 0L, perform allocations using standard cycles, and use Z1 for adjustments or managerial overlays.

Use Reporting Capabilities on Z1

Utilize financial reporting (e.g., Custom Analytical Queries) to analyse postings in Z1 separately without allocations

Thank you and best regards

Chuma
