C_TS4FI Financial Accounting Practice Question
A financial accountant in SAP S/4HANA is creating a new G/L account master record. The account will be used for posting expenses in a specific company code. The accountant wants to ensure that the account is only available for posting in that company code and not in others. Which setting in the G/L account master record controls this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the chart of accounts segment with the company code segment; the chart of accounts segment is shared across all company codes, while the company code segment is specific to one.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Company Code segment
The company code segment in the G/L account master record holds data specific to a single company code. When you create a G/L account, you first create it in the chart of accounts segment, then you create company code segments for each company code that should be able to post to it. If you only create the company code segment for one company code, the account is only available for posting in that company code. Other company codes will not have the segment and cannot use the account unless the segment is created later.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Account Group
Why it's wrong here
The account group determines the number range and the fields that are required or optional when creating the account. It does not restrict posting to a specific company code. While the account group influences the screen layout, it does not control company code assignment. Therefore, it does not fulfill the requirement of limiting the account to one company code.
- ✗
Field Status Group
Why it's wrong here
The field status group controls which fields are required, optional, or suppressed during document entry for the account. It influences the screen layout and data entry requirements but does not restrict the account to a specific company code. It is assigned in the company code segment, but its purpose is not to limit company code usage.
- ✓
Company Code segment
Why this is correct
The company code segment of a G/L account master record contains settings that are specific to that company code, such as the account currency, tax category, and whether the account is a reconciliation account. By creating the company code segment for only one company code, the account is available for posting only in that company code. Other company codes will not have this segment and thus cannot use the account.
- ✗
Chart of Accounts segment
Why it's wrong here
The chart of accounts segment contains information that is valid across all company codes that use the same chart of accounts. It includes the account number, description, and account group. It does not control which company codes can post to the account. Therefore, it does not restrict posting to a single company code.
