SAP Financial Accounting (SAP FI) Practice Exam

At what level must the new GL be activated for your customer?

1. Company code

2. Client

3. Plant level

4. Business area

The correct answer is: Client

The new General Ledger (GL) in SAP must be activated at the client level. This is because the new GL functionality provides enhanced financial reporting capabilities and integration with other modules, which are applicable across all company codes within a client. When the new GL is activated, it allows for real-time data processing and the use of additional features such as parallel ledgers and segment reporting, which are relevant to the entire client and not just specific to a single company code or operating unit. Therefore, all entities under the client can benefit from the functionalities that the new GL offers, which is why client-level activation is necessary. Activating the new GL at lower levels, such as company code, plant, or business area, would limit the advantages to only those specific areas and would not take full advantage of the integrated features available through the new GL at the client level.
