SAP Business One Certification Practice Exam

Can you switch from traditional default G/L account determination to Advanced G/L account determination?

1. Yes, anytime

2. No, once chosen

3. Only with prior notice

4. Only during fiscal year-end

The correct answer is: No, once chosen

Switching from traditional default G/L account determination to Advanced G/L account determination in SAP Business One involves a significant structural change in how financial transactions are recorded in the system. Once a company chooses the traditional default G/L account determination method at the outset, this decision cannot be easily reversed, which is why the assertion that it is a one-time choice is accurate. Advanced G/L account determination allows for more granular control and customization of G/L accounts based on various criteria, but transitioning to this method can impact existing processes and reporting. Therefore, the system is designed to ensure that organizations remain committed to the method they choose initially to maintain consistency in their accounting practices. While options such as switching anytime or with prior notice might seem plausible, they do not align with the inherent design and operational framework of SAP Business One regarding G/L account management. Similarly, limiting changes to a specific time like the fiscal year-end does not accurately reflect the rules governing this selection process. Adherence to the initial choice ensures the integrity and consistency of accounting procedures across the organization.
