What is the relation between the line items displayed for a journal entry in the entry view and the general ledger view?

AThe entry view displays the subledger accounts (such as customer or supplier) while this is not available in the general ledger view.

CThe general ledger view displays account assignments such as the profit center while these are not available in the entry view

DThe general ledger view has as many or more line items as the entry view.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the relationship between the line items displayed for a journal entry in the entry view and the general ledger view is such that the general ledger view can have as many or more line items than the entry view. The entry view shows the transaction as it was entered, typically displaying the debits and credits to and from subledger accounts like customer or supplier accounts. The general ledger view, on the other hand, aggregates these into postings to the corresponding general ledger accounts and may include additional line items such as tax line items, allocation line items, or other adjustments that are not visible in the entry view.

Option D? Really? That's just crazy talk. The entry view is way more detailed than the general ledger, no doubt about it.

Option D is not correct. The entry view is definitely more detailed than the general ledger view.

I think both options A and C make sense, they provide different perspectives on the relation between the two views.

I'm not sure about the line item count, but the entry view does show the subledger accounts, so A seems like the correct answer.

Haha, I love that analogy, Timothy! It's like the entry view is the 'unfiltered' version, and the general ledger view is the 'Instagram-worthy' version, am I right?

Guys, guys, let's not overthink this. The way I see it, the entry view is like the behind-the-scenes look, with all the nitty-gritty details, while the general ledger view is the public face, keeping things a little more high-level. So I'm going with option C.

Ooh, good point! I didn't even think about the account assignments. That makes sense. Although, I'm still not sure if the general ledger view always has more line items. Maybe it depends on the specific transaction. Hmm, I'm torn between B and D now.

I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure that's the whole story. I think the general ledger view might have more line items, since it's showing the account assignments like profit center, which aren't in the entry view. So I'm leaning towards option D.

Okay, let's think this through. The entry view shows the subledger accounts, like customer or supplier, right? But the general ledger view doesn't have that level of detail. So I'm thinking option A is the correct answer.
