GL Balances migration

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on GL Balance migration. It is a migration from SAP 4.5B to SAP ECC 6.0

In LSMW different methods can be used to upload data. Among the below mentioned methods what is the best method for GL Balance migration?

1.Direct Input Method

2.IDoc

3.BAPI

4.Batch Input

Please let me know how to determine which is the best method.

Also please let me know the Standard program name/Message Type/Bapi name/Transaction code with respect to Direct input/Idoc/Bapi/Batch Input

Regards,

hello subathra u can go for the standard object 010 in direct input method .according to ur requirements u can do changes at step 5 at mapping.

give me points if this helps

Best method depends on the size of the data & requirements.

If the data file is going to be simple , and if u think u can load the data using direct input method, u can go for the same.

Tables

SKA1 .. Chart of Account.

SKB1 .. Company code data.

Batch Input

Tcode: FS00

Standard object: you can for this one - GL master data

Read the documentation of program RFBISA00

Object 0010 GL A/C Master Record

Method 0001 Hier. structure

Program Name RFBISA00

Program Type B Batch Input

IDOC method

message : ACC_GL_POSTING

message : ACC_GL_POSTING_REVERSE for reversal of GL

IDOC method is used when we have large data to be migrated . Monitoring and reprocessing could be easy in IDOC method.

SAP provides standard programs and function module to extract and transfer the FI data.

In addition, you only need to setup the ALE and IDoc configuration. IDoc has excellent error handing and has capability to reprocess an error (if any). With batch input program, you need to process the whole input file or you need to recreate the file with error information.

BAPI

Business object : BUS6030

method : POST

Also check out the BAPI BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST
