How to Delete GL Account in SAP S4 HANA

How to Delete the GL Account (General Ledger Master Record) in SAP S4 HANA.

In this blog, we walk you through the process of deleting a G/L account at the company code level in SAP S/4HANA.

Differences between G/L Deletion at Company Code and Chart of Accounts Level in SAP:

• Company Code Level Deletion: The G/L account is deleted only for the specific company code, meaning it is still available for other company codes that use the same chart of accounts.
• Chart of Accounts Level Deletion: The G/L account is deleted across all company codes that use the same chart of accounts, removing it universally.

Let’s take a look at a G/L account (to be delete) in T-code: FS00.

Go to T code: OBR2.

Deletion quantity selection:

• Delete G/L accounts – Give tick mark
• G/L accounts (as many you can)

Deletion depth:

• With general master data – Give tick mark
• Give company code

Lastly remove the test run.

Click on execute button.

Next, you’ll see a warning message. Just click Yes to continue.
