Which objects will be available for drill down reporting when the new GL is activated for a customer?

Profit centers, business areas, segments
Functional area, cost centers, consolidation
Cost centers, profit centers, financial statements
Segments, functional areas, account groups

The correct answer is: Profit centers, business areas, segments

When the new General Ledger (GL) is activated in SAP, it enhances reporting capabilities by allowing more comprehensive drill-down reporting structures. Profit centers, business areas, and segments are key objects that can be utilized for detailed analysis in this activated state. Profit centers allow tracking of financial performance for specific parts of the business, facilitating internal performance evaluations. Business areas represent different lines of business or operational segments within an organization, enabling more granular financial reporting according to different operational metrics. Segments, particularly in the context of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and segment reporting, provide insights into financial information based on the various segments of a business. This combination creates a structured way to analyze data, maximizing the benefits of the new GL's capabilities. The other options feature various unrelated segments or categories that do not fully utilize the activated features in the new GL context, thereby missing key components required for effective drill-down reporting.
