Chart of Accounts Conversion Tool

The SAP Best Practices Chart of Accounts Conversion Tool enables you to change the chart of accounts delivered with SAP Best Practices. The tool converts accounts directly in SAP database tables. These accounts are replaced by new accounts, which are maintained through a chart of accounts conversion table.

The conversion tool can only be used with a competely installed SAP Best Practices package. For other conversion, consult SAP System Landscape Optimization Services (conversion.service@sap.com).
