From the technical standpoint, New General Ledger Accounting offers the following advantages over classic General Ledger Accounting:
The introduction and portrayal of the business model now occurs in just one application component. This means that there is no further need for the cost of sales ledger, the special purpose ledgers in FI-SL, the reconciliation ledger, and the profit center ledger.
Users only have to be familiar with the interface and functions of one component. Users already familiar with the R/3 System require very little training, if any.
The data is only stored once in the system (in just one totals table), thereby eliminating data redundancy.
No need for additional reconciliation activities during closing.
Easier to make adjustments to business-specific requirements (such as the inclusion of customer fields as part of flexible reporting).
