Our carefully crafted templates closely resemble the fields found in the Chart of Accounts folder, with a few subtle differences for enhanced functionality.

Customizing GL Levels for Template Configuration

The General Info section features the GL Template field, which is crucial for preventing redundancy of information within the same GL Account.

In addition to the existing fields found in the GL Chart of Accounts folder, there are several new fields to take note of:

• GL Category and GL Display Order.
• We have also included four new fields in the Segments folder for reporting purposes.
• The GL Levels are tailored to the configuration of templates in SAP B1.
