Hi,

If you try to create a Fiscal year Variant with more than 16 periods, You get a message saying, “More than 16 periods can only be used in Extended General Ledger.”

Extended Special Ledger/Special purpose ledger is where you can have more than 16 periods - you can have a max of 365 periods.

regards,

Siddharth.

Dear srinivasan

In the application component Special Purpose ledger, you can define ledgers for report 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 Ledger allows you to report at various levels using the values from the various application components. The modules in the Special Purpose Ledger allows you to collect information, combine information and create totals.You can also modify, assess, and distribute actual and plan values that are transferred from other SAP applications or external systems to the Special Purpose Ledger.

The use of the Special Purpose Ledger has no effect on the actual functions of other SAP applications.

thanks
