Profit & Loss Template Without Inactive Drawers

Since SAP version 9.3, the drawer on the chart of accounts consists of up to 10 drawers that can be used, and mostly drawers 9 and 10 are not used.

Even if not used, drawers 9 and 10 still appear on the profit and loss statement but are filled with no values.

If the user wants a profit and loss statement without drawers 9 and 10, they can create a new PL Statement template with the following steps :

1. Access the Financial menu > Financial Report Template
