Hi
What is meant by special purpose ledger?
Where we r using?
Thanks
In the application Special Purpose Ledger, you can define ledgers for reporting purposes. You can keep these user-defined ledgers as general ledgers or subsidiary ledgers with various account assignment objects. Account assignment objects can either be SAP dimensions from various applications (such as account, cost center, business area, profit center) or customer-defined dimensions (such as region).
The special purpose ledgers enable you to report at various levels using the values from the various application components. The functions available in the special purpose ledgers enable you to collect and combine information, create and modify totals, and distribute actual and plan values. The values are transferred to the special purpose ledgers from other SAP applications and external systems.
Using the Special Purpose Ledger has no effect on the functions of other SAP applications.
The Special Purpose Ledger application provides you with the following options:
Flexible database structures with additional fields
Selective data procurement
Adjustment postings
Alternative charts of accounts
Alternative fiscal year with various fiscal year variants
Parallel accounting

Hi,
SPL is mainly used for reporting purpose.
E.g. in the normal p&L u want to have an entry as Cost of sales. But CoS is made up of many componenets.
If u need report on individual comp of CoS, u go for SPL.
Thanks,
Sridevi
Pls. assign points, if useful
