Summary
This guide will cover the process of importing a SAP S4/HANA Cloud General Ledger into Mindbridge.
Configuration details
Note that the General Ledger column mapping section of this guide is based on data exported using our SAP S4/HANA Cloud: Export the general ledger.
Import Data
- Import your General Ledger file into Mindbridge, either through the File Manager, or by importing directly to the General Ledger section on the Data page.
- Follow the steps in the ingestion wizard until you reach the section titled Column Mapping: General Ledger. If you followed the export guide then all the columns that can be mapped within Mindbridge will be included in your general ledger. Below is a table which shows the Mindbridge columns and their corresponding SAP S4/HANA Cloud columns.

* Optional columns, even if not used in the analytics, can be included for filtering and other visualizations, as indicated under Notes.
** Transaction ID is required but does not necessarily need to be in one single column. In the Review Data step of the ingestion process, MindBridge will recommend a transaction ID based on your data, or you can choose and/or combine different columns to create one.
