Secondary Ledgers
Secondary ledgers represent the primary ledger's accounting data in another accounting representation that differs in one or more of the following
ways:
• chart of accounts
• accounting calendar/period type combination
• currency
• subledger accounting method
• ledger processing options

Data Conversion Levels
Secondary Ledgers can be maintained at one of the following data conversion levels:
• Subledger Level Secondary Ledgers, page 3-68
• Journal Level Secondary Ledgers, page 3-69
• Balance Level Secondary Ledgers, page 3-70
• Adjustments Only Secondary Ledger, page 3-70

Subledger Level Secondary Ledgers
The subledger level secondary ledger maintains an additional accounting representation of the subledger journals, journal entries, and balances.
The subledger level secondary ledger is maintained using both Subledger Accounting and the General Ledger Posting program.

Page 3-69:

-----------
Journal Level Secondary Ledgers
The journal level secondary ledger is an additional accounting representation of the primary ledger journal entries and balances. This type of
secondary ledger is maintained using the General Ledger Posting Program only.
Every time you post a journal in the primary ledger, the same journal is automatically replicated and maintained in the secondary ledger,
depending on the journal conversion rules specified for the secondary ledger.

*****
If you are seeing duplicate journals....
This is typically a problem with your subledger accounting setup.
Something is incorrect there, and if you wish to pursue that you'll need an SR with one of the subledger groups so they can go over it with you.

Regarding your question:

What does subledger conversion level gives us over journal conversion level?
Need to define secondary ledgers for statutory reporting which requires a different COA than primary ledger.

Answer:
A subledger level secondary ledger maintains the subledger transactions in the secondary ledger, journal entries and balances.
A journal level secondary ledger does not provide have any subledger level transactions - only journals. Every time you post a journal in the
primary ledger, the same journal is automatically replicated and maintained in the secondary ledger, depending on the journal conversion rules
specified for the secondary ledger.

If the data conversion level is set to 'Journal' then SLA does not maintain accounting entries for the secondary ledger in the subledger. Therefore
you will not be able to drill to see subledger transactions from the secondary ledger.

When the conversion level of journal is used it is the Journal Posting program which creates the accounting entries in secondary ledger.

The information for drilldown is only copied to the secondary ledger when subledger level conversion is used.
