Parallel use of Classic and New GL in ECC6.0

[Former Member]

SAP Gurus,

We have just done an upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0. We currently have 3 company codes live on the system and will be doing a rollout to a 4th entity. Is it possible to have the new GL with document splitting active for the new entity and use the classic GL for the other 3 company codes? Could we do the migration for these 3 company codes at a later date without affecting the new entity that is using the new GL functionality?

Cheers

Hello

I really doubt this possibility. All the company codes should be activated for New GL or all the company codes should continue with classic GL.

One company code activation does not sound correct, because there would no question of Leading and non-leading ledgers.

This is not recommended for an ideal situation.

Document splitting functionality is working only on documents created post production scenarios.

Also migration of data from classic to New GL needs to be performed under supervision from SAP.

Please contact your nearest SAP office on this topic.

Hello

1. You can activate/deactivate the New GL in client level

2. You can activate/deactivate the document splitting in company code level

Well to answer some the questions:

1. The 4th entity is a legal entity

2. All the 4 entities are company codes and we do not use consolidation.

3. Ideally we would like to migrate the 3 companies on SAP to the new GL to coincide with the go live of the 4th entity but we may have resource and time constraints.

Most of the answers were very helpful but I still dont have a clear answer.

For example If I activate the new GL at client level and have document splitting only for the new entity and classic for the old entities, how will this affect any intercompany posting and also the month end processes? PCA accounting is very important for all the entities

Many thanks guys.. It's seems these issues are not easily addressed in any of the SAP documentation

Please refer to other posts on SDN.

You could look at the one called V_FAGL_T8A30

I would raise an OSS call regarding i/c postings between classic and new GL as I cannot see how that would work as standard.

Yes of course. You can select what company code deactivate for Spltting on line in customizing.

Please note you CAN have a single Company code active and the three others using standard.

Once you activate document splitting you do it for a Controlling Area, however you can deactivate it for a range of Company Codes.

Can you confirm of the 4th Company Code will have the same CoA and Controlling Area.

Most of the rules are set up by account and so therefore CoA.

Dude,

Are these company codes just company codes or its literally legal entity and Do you have consolidation.
