Explanation
In SAP FI, the group chart of accounts is assigned to the operating chart of accounts (transaction OB13). This creates a link that allows companies using different operating charts of accounts to map their local G/L accounts to a common group account for consolidation reporting.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A (Company code): The company code is assigned an operating chart of accounts, not the group chart directly.
- B (General ledger account): Individual G/L accounts store the group account number (a field pointing into the group chart), but the group chart of accounts itself is assigned one level up - at the operating chart level.
- C (Company): A "Company" in SAP is used for intercompany reconciliation (trading partner setup), not chart of accounts configuration.
Memory tip: Think top-down - Group chart → Operating chart → Company code → G/L accounts. The group chart "plugs into" the operating chart, which then plugs into the company code. Each level is assigned to the one directly below it.
