Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

1. Set up user-defined codes for the distribution ledgers in the Ledger Types UDC table (09/LT). You can set up two distribution ledgers for a source ledger type, one for the managing business unit and another for all the non-managing partners.

   Additionally, you must also set up corresponding units ledgers if you want to record the balances for the units associated with the amounts in the distribution ledgers.

2. Define the distribution ledger types in the Ledger Type Master Setup program (P0025) using the user-defined codes for distribution ledgers that you have set up in the UDC table 09/LT.

   When you define the distribution ledger types on the Ledger Type Rules Setup form, note the following:

   • Do not select the Ledger is Required to Balance option. Distribution ledger types that are required to balance cannot be used to generate distribution ledger journal entries.

   • The currency code of the distribution ledger types must be the same as that of the source ledger type that is associated with the distributed transactions.
