Explanation
In SAP Financial Accounting, General Ledger transfers use GL Accounts (A), Company Code (B), and Tax Code (E) as summarization criteria because these three fields directly drive how financial postings are grouped and aggregated when data flows into the GL - GL accounts determine where amounts are posted, company code defines the legal entity, and tax code governs tax-relevant grouping for reporting purposes. Business Partner (C) is incorrect because it identifies the counterparty in a transaction but is not a control field for GL summarization; it belongs to sub-ledger logic (AR/AP). Material Master Data (D) is incorrect because it is an MM/logistics object used for inventory and procurement, not a financial summarization key. Tax Code is often overlooked but is required because different tax rates must not be collapsed into a single GL line, preserving tax reporting integrity.
Memory tip: Think "GAT" - GL Account, Administrative unit (Company Code), Tax Code. These are the three pillars the system needs to correctly group, allocate, and tax a GL posting.
