Classic Revenue Distribution- Data migration

[former_member215295]

Hi All,

During data migration we are planning to migrate last one years cleared open items with payments,

out of which some of the payments are distributed to the final recipient, after go-live how to identify the payments whether they are distributed or not .

Thinking to update table DFKKRDI with documents that are already distributed , so SAP will consider rest of the documents which are not in DFKKRDI for revenue distribution.

Please let me know whethe I am heading in right direction or not ?

thanks,

Hi Vikram

Why would you update DFKKRDI?

Isn't the standard way:

Create documents / payments (EMIGALL)

Create the original documents populating the distribution information on the document items (mainly field DFKKOP.FINRE). The final receipient is on the original open item and not on the payment: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/98/7d623c44696069e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

Revenue distribution (FP60M)

The mass transaction creates the DFKKRDI entries (from DFKKOP entries above).

Post distributed documents (FP60PM)

The mass transaction selects the DFKKRDI entries from above and creates FI/CA documents against the final receipients accounts.

Or maybe, I simply missunderstood your mail.

Yep

Hi Jurgen,

I understood that we have to migrate open items and also populating the field FINRE and then we migrate payments and clear the open items. I believe we need to update the field RDSTA during data migration as well , whether the item is distributed or not by slecting either the values 1 or 2 right, if it is 2 then it will not be picked by FP60M or else it will not be picked right ?

Hi Vikram

It is technically correct, if you set it to 2, it won't be picked up and won't be posted against the final receipient.

But...

What do you want to see in your new SAP system?

It means you have the original item showing that the money was distributed to the final receipient, but you won't see the money on the final receipient's account. Is this really what you want? How would your processes cope, for example if the payment to the final receipient bounces?

What you probably want is that the distribution to the final receipient actual happens, so it looks like it should mirroring the legacy, but you obviously don't want to "pay" the money to the final receipient a second time (because you already did in the legacy system).

Therefore the closest I can think of at the moment: You migrate the document/payments, do the distribution from start to finish and "repeat" the payment run from the legacy system, but you do not send the payment file to the bank.

HI Juergen,

Will update on the findings once I migrated and tested them.

thanks,
