Delete G/L Accounts

[Djallal]

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a way to delete GL accounts or mark them for deletion ?

Thank you.

Hi Djallal,

Accounts cannot be “deactivated” or “deleted”. All G/L accounts delivered via SAP S/4HANA Cloud best practice content will be created in the Q-system and P-system. Un-used accounts need to be mapped to a 999* account. After conversion these accounts can be blocked for posting to avoid unwanted postings. These accounts will also be created in P-system.

Best,

Victor

Hi Victor ( vchatman),

I have a follow up question further to your reply. While I understand we cannot delete accounts that "come off the shelf" with SAP, if I were to create an account manually (so not from any SAP library), would I be able to delete the manually created account? I have a case where an account was created in the wrong sequence of accounts and would need to be deleted.

Thanks in advance for your reaply,

Take care,

Steven

Hi Steven,

Once a G/L account has been created in SAP S/4HANA Cloud it cannot be deleted. In this case, I would advise that you set the relevant flags to block this G/L account for posting on the G/L master data and set the flag, "G/L Account Not Used" flag to "Yes".

Please refer to the following blog where it highlights use cases for when you create G/L accounts in Q but do not want them to be transported to P:

I hope this clarifies.

Best,

Victor
