Financial Products Subledger is a solution that combines both financial and cost accounting. It enables the generation of multiple valuations for financial products while ensuring they are all reconciled.
Deployed as an add-on to SAP S/4HANA, Financial Products Subledger is based on a highly simplified core and designed for large data volumes, making use of SAP HANA capabilities. With SAP Fiori user experience and a streamlined data model, it is designed to run simple.
Banks and financial institutions are frequently required to comply with accounting regulations in various countries. International companies must adhere to valuation principles set by national authorities and organizations, as well as standardized accounting standards. The requirement to prepare an annual financial statement necessitates the allocation of time periods, allowing companies to present their current financial status on the balance sheet date along with their economic progress since the previous balance sheet date.
Financial Products Subledger integrates seamlessly with Financial Accounting. It receives target values from the relevant source systems, and documents these in the form of subledger documents at contract or portfolio level.
The subledger records are combined into general ledger records and then moved to the general ledger. Standard interfaces can be utilized to ensure that all the necessary information from the subledger is accessible for reporting purposes during accounting period closures.

Distinguishing GL from subledger
The general ledger and the subledger are two crucial components in the field of accounting, each serving a distinct purpose. The primary distinction between these two is that while the general ledger comprises a comprehensive set of master accounts, the subledger consists of accounts that form a subset of the general ledger.
Types of ledgers in SAP S4 Hana
In a standard SAP system, the Leading Ledger, also known as 0L, is considered the default ledger. It is used for recording financial transactions and generating reports. However, you can also define your own Non-Leading Ledger according to your specific requirements.
A Non-Leading Ledger allows you to maintain additional accounting records alongside the standard ledger. This means that you can have multiple ledgers within one system to cater to different reporting needs or legal requirements. For example, if your organization operates in multiple countries with varying accounting standards, you can create separate non-leading ledgers for each country.
Furthermore, Extension Ledgers provide even more flexibility by allowing you to define “non-standard” ledgers that go beyond what is offered by the standard and non-leading ledgers. These extension ledgers enable organizations to capture additional financial information or perform specialized calculations specific to their business processes.
1. Leading Ledger (0L): The default ledger in a SAP system used for recording transactions and generating reports.
2. Non-Leading Ledger: A custom-defined ledger that runs parallel with the leading ledger and caters to specific reporting or legal requirements.
3. Extension Ledgers: Custom-ledger options that offer further flexibility by allowing organizations to capture extra financial data or perform specialized calculations beyond what is provided by standard and non-leading ledgers.
