MDG-F Group Accounts

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are implementing G/L account maintenance using MDG-F. The scenario includes a group chart of accounts and operating chart of accounts, which have been linked using OB13. When attempting to create an operating account in MDG-F, the "Group Account" field allows us to select from available financial statement items (FSI) - not from G/L accounts in the group chart of accounts as is needed.

Looking at the standard data model 0G, the field "Group Account" does in fact reference FSI instead of ACCOUNT. How can we specify the group account when maintaining the operating account in MDG-F? Am I missing something? We do not plan to maintain FSI in MDG-F.

Thanks

Not an ideal one. The financial statement items are used for consolidated chart of accounts, but serve a similar purpose as group G/L accounts.

We maintained all group accounts as FSI entities and all operating accounts as ACCOUNT entities. If you use services replication, the group G/L is still created when the FSI entities are replicated. We had to do a few modifications to the mapping, UI, and BRF+ validation rules to suit our needs.

Hi reckls,

thanks for your answer. We tried using the FSI for group accounts as well but it gives an error on validating the edition with the FSI. It says that the hierarchy is missing for the financial statement item. Did you experience the same? Has the FSIH element sth to do with this?

Thanks
