MIGRATION: Budget Billing Plans via Emigall

[Former Member]

Hello there!

We are trying to migrate Budget Billing Plans via Emigall, and we don't really know how to do it... We have been checking all BBP_* Emigall Objects and, as far as we know, BBP_MULT object is the one we have to use...

But we don't know if it is posible to migrate an opened BBP (meaning 'in process'). For example:

bbp_number1. DUE_DATE=25.11.2009, invoiced, payment date=05.11.2009, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX1, ...

bbp_number2. DUE_DATE=26.12.2009, invoiced, payment date=05.12.2009, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX2, ...

bbp_number3. DUE_DATE=26.01.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.01.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX3, ...

bbp_number4. DUE_DATE=25.02.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.02.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX4, ...

bbp_number5. DUE_DATE=25.03.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.03.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX5, ...

-> MIGRATION <-

bbp_number6. DUE_DATE=08.06.2010,not invoiced

bbp_number7. DUE_DATE=08.06.2010,not invoiced

ETC.

There are a couple of important premises I want you to consider:

-As this is a Company A to Company B migration, some data extractions can not be performed: Neither Bill Documents, nor Invoices will be migrated. All this data will be stored as PDF documents.

-Only consumption data will be stored in the standard database.

Will I be able to migrate this Budget Billing Plan without previously doing a regularization process (final bill, year-end bill) in the legacy system?

Do I need to migrate billing and/or invoicing documents before migrating BBPs? (this would be impossible for me)

What Emigall Object do I have to use?

Every response will be welcome! Thanks in advance, best regards!

We used BBP_EXT EMIGALL object for migrating BBP from legacy. We only transferred open items, not the cleared items of the plan. So if the plan started in legacy, billed for some periods prior to migration, then you can migrate the plan with the remaining unbilled periods. It will look like a short plan.

Hi, and thank you very much for your answer.

I understand what you mean but then, how do you do the final bill (regularization process)? At the end you know the amount the client has payed you, but you don´t know how much he payed on the legacy system, right?

We are migrating them with the object BBP_MULT (and we try to migrate the whole plan, with 12 quotes), but we cannot migrate the "old" quotes, already payed in the legacy system. They appeared as "not payed", even if we inform the payment date, and the field "Clearing reason". Could you help us? Is it better to migrate them with the object you are using (BBP_EXT) instead of ours?

Thank you!

Miki:

Please look at the migration thread - specifically the Guideline to ISMW where the specifics for BBP_EXT are provided on page 118.
