Press F5 to create an extension ledger in SAP.<\/p>\n<h4>Company Code Setting<\/h4>\n<p>Once you have created the extension ledger in S\/4HANA, check the company code setting. Take note of the dialog structure, and go to the company code setting of the ledger. The open ledger for the extension ledger in SAP is ledger OL. The ledger indicates all organization codes in the platform that have ledger OL.<\/p>\n<h4>Assigning Accounting Principles<\/h4>\n<p>Now, you need to assign an accounting principle to the ledger, which will be similar to the accounting principle referenced to the reference ledger. Open the accounting principles for the ledger and company folder.
