The Universal Journal is a comprehensive accounting system that captures all accounting-relevant transactions in Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) as journal entries. It serves as a single source of truth for both financial and management accounting, integrating all line items from business transactions into one place.
The Universal Journal was introduced to ensure the integrity of financial data, eliminate redundancy and reconciliation efforts between FI and CO, and provide higher levels of performance, transparency, and financial insight. It combines the data structures of different components into a single line item table (ACDOCA), replacing previously separate physical tables.
The Universal Journal integrates various application areas within FI and CO, including General Ledger Accounting, Asset Accounting, Controlling, Profitability Analysis (except costing-based), and Material Ledger. It affects Controlling by treating cost elements as a special type of G/L account, maintained as master records within General Ledger.
