Renumbering G/L Account Process in a 3-System Landscape in S/4HANA Cloud
05 Aug 2023

community.sap.com
|
English
| S/4HANA Cloud
The renumbering process of G/L accounts in S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition, allows organizations to adapt the standard chart of accounts to meet specific requirements. This process involves renumbering and renaming G/L accounts in the Development System and transporting them to the Quality and Production systems. It is crucial to ensure no postings in the Test and Production systems during renumbering. The process also includes marking unused G/L accounts as 'Not Used' to prevent them from being transported to the Production system. Renumbering should be done carefully, especially for accounts involved in automatic account determination, to avoid transaction errors. The process is not available in the Starter System and requires specific authorizations. Detailed instructions and resources are available on the SAP Help Portal and the roadmap viewer.

The article discusses the case of Liam Lewis, a medical cannabis patient in Shetland, Scotland, whose legal cannabis oil was confiscated by Police Scotland despite presenting a Medcan ID card and prescriptions from Sapphire Medical Clinics.

His Thai-American son-in-law, Dean Gultula, and former business partner, Myanmar tycoon Tun Min Latt, are detained. The case is seen as a test for Thailand's law enforcement and justice systems. The suspects are connected to Myanmar Allure Group Company Limited, founded by Upakit to develop a hotel and casino.
