Material Inventory Balance migration

[former_member626795]

Hello,

I am running into an issue with the testing of migration of material inventory balances.

The date defined in the app "Define Settings for Legacy Data Transfer" is set to 7/31/2019. All financial balances have been posted or in the process of being posted on that key conversion date. However, during UAT of other functionalities, the MM closing period has been moved so that the current period is 2019/09 and prior period is 2019/08.

As a result when we try to load the material inventory balances, we get the error "Posting only possible in period 2019/09 and in period 2019/08 in company code XXXX"

I tried  leaving document date empty, set to 7/31/2019 or to 8/31/2019 with same result. At the same time it doesn't seem possible to change the date in "Define Settings for Legacy Data Transfer".

Did anyone else run into a similar issue? and how did you resolve?

Thanks

Lorenzo

Hi,

Since there is no option to revert the MM posting period once it is closed and this is a Q-system, you can change the migration key date to 08/31/2019 and migrate inventory balances. This will not match with the GL balances and reconciliation could be an issue, but you can still test the inventory balances and load them correctly in P system later.

Best,

Sandeep

Hello Lorenzo,

Could you please check the points mentioned in the KBA - 2813720 - SAP S/4HANA Migration cockpit: Collective KBA for migration object "Material inventory balance" (SIF_INVENTORYBAL / SIF_INVENTORY_2)

Also please check the migration key date is set correctly or not via fiori app "Define Settings for Legacy Data Transfer".

If you need to change the migration key date, then you need to change the status back to "In preparation" from "Ongoing" and then set the date (change it back to Ongoing again). This change will be effective for all other migration objects.

Best Regards,

Shreyanka

Asset legacy data migration postings will have posting date as the legacy asset data transfer date set in the system which is 31.03.2018 in your case. This is a standard setting as closing asset balances as on that date are migrated.
