Generally the company is used to maintain number of general ledger accounts to process the business transactions. To make them properly identified we have to segregate the similar accounts into one group. There by it is easy to identify the accounts. For this purpose sap suggests to define the account group: the account group means the similar accounts are made into single group. Sap suggested you to maintain any number of groups but the minimum account groups are two. However, in this project I am defining the account group's requirement as 4 groups. The path is same as above (chart of accounts)
TC: OBD4
- Select new entries button
- Give chart of accounts: 2006
- Account group code: (any four character code)
- Give description the group
Number range interval: from number and to number (this number interval is in no way related to earlier number range)?.The screen appearance of the account groups after giving the data will appear as under.
We can give different number interval for different groups; otherwise we can give the same interval to all account groups. The system allows overlapping here. But I advise you to give different internal to different groups. (If the same number is given creation of gl accounts latter stage may be confusing you)The account groups also determine the field status of the gl master record in respect of company code data details. We you want to controls field status of the master click on field status button do the rest of the things as desired by you. The field status need not be common to all account groups. Depending on the nature of the account groups we can set the field status.
