Create the Chart of Accounts
Chapter 2 ■ Defining the Chart of Accounts
Problem: Your task as an SAP FI consultant is to create a chart of accounts for company
C900 Plc and assign it to your company code.
The chart of accounts you create will contain a list of G/L accounts used by your company code for
reporting and posting activities. The chart of accounts is configured as a global setting. This means that the
chart of accounts is available to all company codes in the client rather than just one. The following menu
path will take you to the screen where you can customize your chart of accounts: IMG: Financial Accounting
(New) ➤ General Ledger Accounting (New) ➤ Master Data ➤ G/L Accounts ➤ Preparations ➤ Edit Chart of
Accounts List. You can also use the transaction code OB13.
■■Note
You can create your own chart of accounts or you can copy the standard ones supplied by SAP.
The Change View “List of All Charts of Accounts”: Overview screen is displayed (Figure 2-3). This screen
contains a list of all the charts of accounts that exist in the system. You can assign any of these charts to your
company code or create your own chart of accounts. This is matter of choice or your requirements. This is
where you create your chart of accounts.
