In G/L master records there is a field( in control
tab)'alternate account number'. What is required to be
filled in that field?
Answer Posted / swati
To carry out cross-company code controlling between
different comapany codes, all company codes should use the
same operational chart of accounts.
(This is an alternative to using a group chart of accounts
where it is not possible to do cross-company code
controlling if companies are using their different
operational chart of accounts)
Company codes that nevertheless require a special chart of
accounts for external
reporting have the following option:
• A country chart of accounts is assigned.
• The country chart of accounts number (alternative account
number) is entered in every company code segment. Every
country chart of accounts number can only be used once.
Note: Since all company codes use the same operational
chart of accounts for postings, you can carry out cross-
company code controlling
Note that this field is also freely definable and can be
also used to enter a legacy account number.
