Difference b/w Extension ledger and Non Leading ledger

[former_member611057]

Dear Experts ,

I have a small drought on Extension ledger functionality.

If i post a entry only for Extension ledger ,ACDOCA updates only Extension ledger docs , if i look the report FAGLL03 by selecting extension ledger and Expense GL and company code i can see standard ledger(Historical ) as well as Extension ledger documents , if i choose B/S sheet GL i can see only Extension ledger document .

Moreover it seems no Technical difference b/w Non- Leading ledger and Extension ledger as look like both the ledgers functioning is same .

Can any one help me with the technical difference b/w Non- leading and Extension ledger .

Thanks,

Subbu.

From the technical point of view, in an Extension Ledger you don't replicate entries in ACDOCA like a normal ledger (leading / non-leading) would do. It Will post to the extensión ledger and in GL Balance report it will sum balances from main and extension ledger.

Extensión ledger depends on the principal ledger (which ever you choose). Non-leading ledger is independent

The extensión ledger has got the same Fiscal Year Variant (FYV) as the main ledger. The non-leading ledger has its own FYV.

Extensión ledger is for a few entries, you get information from main ledger of the extension ledger and make adjustments for reporting to another entity (internal/external). Non-leading ledger is based on accounting principles (Foreign currecny valuation, FYV, etc) and requires more activities in Fiscal Year Closing procedure.

What's your point in "technical difference" ?

Kind Regards
