In SAP, General Ledger (G/L) transactions are part of the Financial Accounting (FI) module. The G/L account serves as the core of financial transactions and reporting. There are several common transaction codes (TCode) related to G/L postings and management in SAP, depending on the type of transaction you are performing.
Common G/L-related Transaction Codes (TCodes) in SAP:
FB50 – G/L Account Posting
Used for manual G/L account postings.
Allows the user to post accounting entries directly to G/L accounts (e.g., expenses, income, assets, etc.).
Example: Posting an expense or income to the appropriate G/L account.
F-02 – G/L Postings
This is similar to FB50 but with additional options for selecting document types and posting keys.
Allows the user to post journal entries to any G/L account.
FS00 – G/L Account Master Data
Used for creating, changing, or displaying G/L accounts.
Essential for managing the setup of individual G/L accounts, including details like account groups, control data, and cost element category.
F-04 – Post with Clearing
Used for posting with clearing between G/L accounts.
This is typically used when you want to clear or settle balances between two G/L accounts (e.g., clearing an advance payment).
F-03 – Clear G/L Account
Used for clearing open items within a G/L account.
This allows you to match and clear outstanding transactions (e.g., clearing accounts, suspense accounts).
FB01 – Post Document (General Posting)
Used to post financial documents (journals) that involve multiple types of accounts, including G/L accounts.
The document can involve debits and credits to different accounts and may also include customer or vendor accounts.
F-28 – Post Customer Payment
Used for posting payments received from customers.
Involves clearing open receivables and adjusting G/L balances accordingly.
F-43 – Post Vendor Invoice
