General Ledger Accounting provides a comprehensive overview of external accounting and accounts and supports parallel accounting.
General Ledger Accounting serves as a complete record of all business transactions, providing a centralized, up-to-date reference for the rendering of accounts. Actual individual transactions can be
checked at any time in real-time processing by displaying the original documents, line items, and transaction figures at various levels to support parallel accounting. These transactions include:
Manage Journal Entries, Post with Clearing for Ledger Group, Run Automatic Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups, Trial Balance Comparison, and Financial Statement Ledger Comparison.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each process step, report, or item is covered in its
own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be
added.
Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a different notation, enter values as appropriate.
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data, organizational data, other test data and business conditions.

For example, use account 24031100, Pension Provision ledgerspec (which has ledger-specific OI management) and post:
1. Debit 61060000 (Payroll Exp. Pension) with cost center 12101101 to Credit 24031100 (Pension Provision ledgerspec.)
1. Debit 24031100 (Pension Provision ledgerspec.) to Credit 12550000 (Unbilled Revenue)
Caution Both postings must contain a specific ledger group! See Post General Journal Entries or a similar step. Note that the amounts for both postings should be the same, so that a clearing is
