New General Ledger Subsequent Implementation

[coleti]

Dear Experts,

I would like to start a conversation in a project that will be done in our customer, a New General Ledger Subsequent Implementation. This conversation will be use to share the experience, lessons learned and issues that you faced during your New G/L subsequent implementation.

We already have the New G/L active but we are just using the Leading Ledger 0L that is used to report Head Quarters accounting in GAAP principles and our business requested us an additional non-leading ledger to be used for local authorities that have some different account principles for income tax.

Basically, the new non-leading ledger will be a copy of 0L and the user can do some posting just in the new non-leading ledger that we will call 1L - Legal Ledger.

Until I got here, I followed the steps below to collect all information that we need to be ready for New G/L migration

1st - Identify the New General Ledger Migration Scenario

According SAP OSS Note 1227504 - Subsequent implementation of an additional ledger, the New General Ledger Migration should be done by SAP General Ledger Migration Service and they asked two initial requirement:

- Fill out the Questionnaire for Subsequent Implementation of Further Functionality within SAP General Ledger

- Prepare a business blue print with your business requirement.

To fill out the questionnaire, you have to identify the Scenario of your New GL migration that is defined from 1 to 8:

- Scenarios from 1 to 5 are related to the Classic to New G/L migration

- Scenarios from 6 to 8 are related to subsequent implementation of further functionality

After look at 1070629 - FAQs: Migration to General Ledger Accounting (new), we identified that our scenario is number 07 - Subsequent implementation of a further ledger.

2nd - Filling out the Questionnaire for Subsequent Implementation

The questionnaires can be found at the following link http://service.sap.com/GLMIG and it is mandatory to have this done to start the SAP New G/L Migration Service.

3rd – Check General Ledger Accounts for consistency

According to OSS note 1592904 before starting the first test migration, all general ledger accounts must be checked for consistency.

4th – Technical requirements

The SAP package need to perform the New G/L Migration is the component DMIS and NMI_CONT while the NMI_CONT will install the Migration Cockpit CNV_MBT_NGLM that will be used to run the Migration Scenario.

As per my understanding, the Questionnaire for Subsequent Implementation will be used by SAP for commercial proposal to understand the business requirement and also for technical input to generate Project available at this transaction code to be executed by the customer.

5th – Execution

This is the step that I got and need your feedback about the New G/L Migration, could you please share your experiences with this job and previous steps if I missed something?

Thank you all,

Gabriel Coleti

Hi Gabriel

Your steps are OK

New GL Migration is a very customized service depending on the scenario you fall in out of the 7 or 8 available scenarios

Your cases is a fairly simple one. All it requires is activation of NL and migration of historical data from LL into NL

You should also think about activating Additional Depreciation Areas in Asset Accounting, if that is a requirement for Parallel Reporting.. If yes, you will add 2 dep areas i.e. one area for parallel reporting and one for Delta between 01 and Parallel Area..

Settings for Dep Areas in OADB would be like this

Area 01 - Posting indicator 1 - LL

Area 02 - Posting indi 3 - NL

Area 03 - Posting Ind 6 - NL (Delta Area)

You will have to run AFBN to add Area 02/03 in existing assets

Hope this helps

Regards

Dear Ajay,

Thank you for your input, its really good for me because we will have another depreciation area for our assets since the Useful Life of our assets are different for Legal perspective.

I will analyze this settings.

Thank you,

Best regards,

Hi, in addition to Ajay,

you need to configure(or check that additional config are not required) all reports that make ledger specific posting, e.g. fagl_fcv, faglf101, fi allocations and distributions, accruals engine and so on.

Also you need to adjust\check authorization for posting to specific ledger (object F_FAGL_LDR) and may be add tcodes which make these postings (e.g. fb50l)
