General ledger 

In SAP financials, everything links with a general ledger or GL.


The GL provides a complete record of financial transactions at a
company. Transactions are recorded in financial submodules that
can be reconciled with the general ledger in real time. All
transactions in the system will result in a journal entry.

Accounts payable
 When a company purchases goods on credit which needs to
be paid back in a short period of time, it is known as Accounts
Payable. It is treated as a liability and comes under the head
'current liabilities'. Accounts Payable is a short-term debt payment
which needs to be paid to avoid default

Accounts receivable
The Accounts Receivable application component records and
administers accounting data of all customers. It is also an
integral part of sales management. All postings in Accounts
Receivable are also recorded directly in the General Ledger.

reconciliation account
Reconciliation accounts are G/L accounts to which postings
are made automatically whenever a business transaction is
entered on a subledger account (such as accounts receivable,
accounts payable, or fixed assets).
