SAP introduced New GL renamed later to SAP GL with Leading Ledgers and Non Leading Ledgers almost 10 years ago This was meant to replace good old solutions like parallel accounts, dummy LEs, special purpose ledgers that SAP customers have been using for a long time to report financials under. What is a 'Special Purpose Ledger' in SAP FICO? Added on June 17th 2015 by Special Purpose Ledgers (FI-SL) are used in reporting. These are basically user defined ledgers, which can be maintained either as GL or subsidiary ones with various account assignment objects (with SAP-dimensions such as cost center, business area, profit center, etc., or customer-defined dimensions such as region, area, etc.).Once defined, this functionality helps you to report at various levels. Ideally you collect the information, combine it, and create the totals. This is something such as an additional reporting feature, and use of this feature will have no effect on the regular functionalities of SAP. Steps to configure special purpose ledgers • 1.
