 BENEFIT NEW GL (1)
Extended Data Structure provides flexibility

SAP has consolidated the multiple totals table (GLT0, GLPCT, etc) in classic GL into a single
FAGLFLEXT Totals table with New GL. One Summary Table provides flexibility and faster response
time for reporting. FAGLFLEXT can also be enhanced by adding customer defined fields.

IAS accounting standards define the statutory requirements for segment reporting. New GL has
Segment Reporting
document to ensure Statutory
splitting functionality Requirements
that enables segment reporting. Standard Segment Reporting
functionality is not available in Classic GL.

Classic GL has the period-close reconciliation ledger functionality to synchronize FI and CO for cost
transfers across functional area, business area and company code originating in CO. New GL has a
real-time integration between FI and CO that happens with each transaction originating in CO
Realinstead
Time Integration between FI and CO
of a summary posting done by reconciliation ledger during period-close.

PARTNER PROFIT CENTER (1)

29
PARTNER PROFIT CENTER (2)

The partner field is used for cross-characteristic postings. For instance, in a posting spanning
two profit centers A and B, the debit balance on one profit center A has partner profit center B,
and the credit balance on profit center B has partner profit center A. Its very similar to trading
partner for those familiar with that concept.

There are two more options for each characteristic. First, whether the field is mandatory that
is it must be populated on all GL line items. Second, whether the field is zero balanced whether
the sum of the postings must equal zero (debits=credits).
