Upload 3 year old legacy data into ECC

[Former Member]

I need to upload legacy data (purchase orders/FI line items from accounting entries) of 2007/8/9 into ECC today through LSMW. Can i do this?Do I need to open posting periods of 2007/8/9. How to do that?

Does anything have to be done using MMPV or MMRV??

Hi,

No this is not possible/recommended. The recommended practice is to upload trial balance as on the cutover date.

It means...

1) If the cutover date is similar to year end, then only balance sheet items which are open items as on that date

2) If the cutover date is other than year end date, then all open items of balance sheet accounts and year to date balance of profit and loss account.

Best Regards,

Madhu
