Universal Journal The universal journal entry is the unified data storage for both financial accounting (FI) and management accounting (or controlling (CO)) It contains all of the relevant accounting data, details about, for example, customers, vendors, assets, products, and regions. This means all of the accounting data is always available at the same time for analysis in each report that is based on the universal journal entry. In addition, you can enhance the journal entry with your own fields. Financial accounting and controlling are continually being reconciled. As a result, you can carry out month-end closing more quickly. All accounts, even the secondary cost elements required for controlling - are portrayed uniformly as G/L accounts. A journal entry is similarly created for internal clearing, such as cost center assessments and distributions. 9
