SAP Standard Reports, Your Reporting

Requirements Fulfilled!-2
Posted on April 18, 2014 by Murugesan No Comments

Hi, Get a cup of coffee, we will discuss one more SAP GL Standard Report!
To read the first part of this series please follow:

SAP Standard Reports, Your Reporting Requirements Fulfilled!

SAP Standard Report, Document Journal
o
TCode: S_ALR_87012287
o

What is our requirement?

Two Step Process

First Step, Get the Document Number

Second Step, Get the Document Journal

SAP Standard Report, Document Journal

TCode: S_ALR_87012287
Menu path: Accounting Financial Accounting General Ledger Information System General Ledger Reports Document
General - Document Journal Document Journal

What is our requirement?

To see the journal entry:

In the regular Debit & Credit format

With GL Account Code

With GL Account Description

Currency and Amount

Two Step Process

First step, finding the document number and second step create another session and run the report with document number &
without GL Account code.

First Step, Get the Document Number

We will input

1.

Company code

2.

Fiscal Year

3.

Ledger (oL, the leading ledger)

4.

Posting date interval say from 01.01.2004 to 30.06.2004

5.

GL Account, say 416100 Electricity (Fixed)

and hit F8.
What we get is a list of Journals or Documents. From the list let us note down the Document Number.

Second Step, Get the Document Journal

Now we need for a specific

document in Debit Credit Format with GL Account Code and GL Account Description. This we can get by inputting one more field,
the Document Number to the parameters already entered. Let us select say, 1900006225 document which we want to see in

regular Debit Credit Format. Parameter selections will be:

Company Code 1000

Document Number 1900006225

Fiscal Year 2004

Leger 0L
Posting date 01.01.2004 to 30.06.2004

DELETE GL Account 416100

In Output Control:

Check Line items only

Choose your layout

Note, when we give the Document number we should not give GL Account Code. Why? Because if we give GL Account Code as
one of the parameter, we will not get both Debit and Credit entries. The output will be only the Debit or Credit pertaining to the
given GL Account Code.
Run the report to get the regular Journal Format:

When we run the report for two or more documents, we will get the Debit and Credit totals information end of the list.

What is so interesting about Account Balances SAP Standard Reports?

Something interesting!
A very useful feature!
Let us explore!

GL Account Balances & Totals and Balances

Two SAP Standard Reports for GL A/c balances that fulfills our regular and usual reporting requirements:

TCode: S_ALR_87012277 G/L Account Balances

Let us choose the parameters per our requirement and get the report:

TCode: S_ALR_87012301 Totals and Balances

Like before one more option for Account Balances report:

From the first report we can get various account balances:

Balance Carried Forward at the Beginning of the Fiscal Year

Total of the Period or Periods Carried Forward

Debit Total of the Reporting Period

Credit Total of the Reporting Period

End Balance of the Reporting Period

From the second report we get:

Debit Total of the Period under review

Credit Total of the Period under review

Debit Total YTD

Credit Total YTD

Total Debit
Total Credit

Structured Account Balances -Interesting!

TCode: S_ALR_87012279 Structured Account Balances
This is the interesting part! Let us see how!

Consider the case when we are responsible for the General Ledger Accounts. We want to make sure that these accounts carry
reliable information.
Here we have one way of making us feel comfortable about the balances. Make a quick comparison with previous year.
This report is flexible and we can get a report giving us comparison between:
Period Selection: Any selected period
Comparison Years: Current year with any previous year
Comparison of reporting data between current year and ANY previous year, say current year 2004 compared with 2003 or 2002 as
per our requirement is possible. This happens when for any reason year 2003 is an exception and does not provide a comparable
data and we want to compare with 2002 which is of more comparable results.
This is very interesting! very useful!

The format is per Financial Statement Version.

Have you found this report something interesting and useful? What reports you use which you find interesting? Please share with
us in the comments section

Thanks for your time!
