• Key Concepts: 
  A rollup sequence is a feature of the SAP Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL) component. It is used to define the order in which the system will roll up data from lower-level accounts to higher-level accounts. This allows users to create a hierarchical structure of accounts and view the data in a summarized form. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the rollup sequence, users must first define the hierarchy of accounts in the system. This can be done by assigning each account a unique number that indicates its position in the hierarchy. Once this is done, users can then assign a rollup sequence to each account. This sequence will determine the order in which the system will roll up data from lower-level accounts to higher-level accounts. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a rollup sequence, it is important to ensure that all accounts are assigned a unique number and that the sequence is consistent across all levels of the hierarchy. This will ensure that data is rolled up correctly and that users can view an accurate summary of their data. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The rollup sequence feature is closely related to other features of the SAP Special Purpose Ledger such as account groups and account categories. These features can be used in conjunction with the rollup sequence to further customize how data is summarized and presented in reports.
