Changes to a G/L Account

Scenario

Kevin recently discovered that a posting block had been placed on the General Ledger account, preventing transactions from being processed as usual. Kevin saw it as a perfect opportunity to enhance his skills in managing G/L accounts to resolve the issue and successfully remove the impediment. In the upcoming example, he will learn the ins and outs of removing a block for posting to a single G/L account. Let's join Kevin on this practical journey, as you too experience handling account blockages and ensuring seamless financial operations.

Check Blocked G/L Accounts

Kevin wants to see which other G/L Accounts have the block setting enabled. He will run a report that displays the other G/L Accounts that are Blocked for Posting.

Changes to Multiple G/L Accounts

Scenario

Kevin wants to make changes to multiple G/L Accounts simultaneously, because it is time saving.

Change Multiple G/L Accounts

Changes to multiple G/L Accounts can be made simultaneously. This is a time saving option where a selection or a range of accounts need to be changed. The changes can be performed online, selecting either a Chart of Accounts view, Company Code view or Controlling Area view. Within each view, fields to be changed can be selected. Once new values have been entered, there's an option to review the changes before saving. All the changes, detailing the Old Value and New Value can be reported.
