Creating and Configuring Statistical Ledgers
Last updated on 2025-07-08
Overview
Statistical ledgers can be used to create account hierarchies that need not be subject to the rules of double-entry accounting (e.g. derived general ledger and subledger structures, indirect cash flow statement and direct liquidity planning). In the Overview, each statistical ledger is displayed in the folder as a workspace in which it was created.
This article contains the following sections:
Creating Statistical Ledgers
To create a statistical ledger:
- Right-click the desired folder in the Workspace configuration and select Create | Statistical ledger from the context menu. The dialog Create Statistical Ledger is displayed:
Creating a statistical ledger - Specify the name of the statistical ledger.
- Enter an abbreviation for the statistical ledger.
- From the Icon drop-down list, choose the icon to be displayed in front of the statistical ledger name in the user interface.
- Click Save.
For postings to accounts with the data type Currency account in a statistical ledger, the rules of double-entry accounting do not need to be observed.
