As rightly pointed out  by TW & Sai, this is not at all comes under SD purview.  Whatever G/L Account finance team from Business provides, FI consultant will validate that and SD consultant would assign.  Having said this, have a discussion with your FI colleague.

Hi

Changes in GL settings in VKOA will allow the system to post the Revenue,Discounts,Excise Recovery,Freight etc conditions triggered in Pricing to the newly assigned GLs. It (VKOA) wont effect on TAXES since the TAX GLs are assigned in OB40 vide corresponding Transaction Keys & respective TAX codes defined in FTXP. For the impact you need to consider the older & newer GLs to analyse or reconcile as per business requirement along with your FI team.........

Hi Naveen,

Generally we will not change the G/L account without valid business reasons. First, you have to check which G/L account your client wants to change. Is it revenue/expense/tax/freight etc. Depends on the account you are changing, you have to analyze. From SD end the impact will be all open orders(which are yet to create billing and post) and newly created documents will hit to new G/L accounts.

But, you have to check with your FI consultant or A/R users as to how they will be reporting new and old accounts also will it have any impact when they receive payments from customers.

Naveen,

What is the reason to change the G/L account (in VKOA)?

To understand the "non-SD" impact, post this question in the FI forum too.

Hello Naveen,

In SD VKOA setting is meant for posting the revenue / Tax / discount to that perticular GL which has been assigned there with the concerned A/c key.

So IMPACT: If you chnage a GL for the A/c then for that a/c key postings will go to the new GL.

Hi,

G/L accounts in VKOA are used to post sales revenues/taxes via accrual keys assigned in sales pricing procedures. If you assign a new G/L account to say ERL accrual key, sales revenues will get posted to the new G/L account. User can designate specific accounts for sales revenues, costs, discounts, rebates, taxes etc and assign in VKOA accordingly.

Hi Naveen

There will be only one impact that your revenue account ( or whatever you changing in SPRO) will be hitting in the newly assigned GL in VKOA settings. So there is will be entries pending in old GL, so each time you have to consider new as well as old GL to make correct reconcile \.
