The special ledger from the SAP Financial Accounting (SAP FI) is a subledger on the basis of G/L accounts which comprises vendor, customer, and asset accounting.

Using the PBS archive add on CSL you can quickly and easily access your archived SL data even after data archiving during your day-to-day business. Archived SL line items and SL totals records are displayed at the same time with the current data from the SAP database.

You are able to display all data of the PBS archive add on CSL using the standard online transactions. You can execute the transactions easily via two PBS menus that are supplied.

Indexing Concept

The PBS archive add on CSL sets up indices for archived SL line items and SL totals records and saves them in a PBS-specific file. It contains programs that can be used to read the corresponding data from archive and database at the same time. For this, you have to regenerate these programs after having created a ledger.

Integration

You can integrate the programs into the report interface which enables you to access line items via drilldown from a totals report that was created using the Report Pain-ter. The line item list contains all SL line items from archive and database that belong to the totals record.

You can convert totals reports that were created with the Report Painter. Thus, you can read totals records from the database and/or archive.
