Performing the Migration 

Use

You perform the migration in the process tree of the New GL Migration Cockpit.

Activities

Performing the migration entails the following steps:

●      Determination of migration objects

You use a selection program to create a worklist containing all documents to be migrated as part of a migration plan. This worklist forms the basis for all other activities, that is, other programs use this worklist to select the documents to be migrated.

●      Preparations for Documents from Phase 0

You need to migrate any items still open in phase 0. Such items may require additional document splitting information that you create in this step. The documents themselves are not transferred to New General Ledger Accounting because they were posted before the migration date.

●      Preparations for Documents from Phase 1

You have to transfer the documents from phase 1 completely to New General Ledger Accounting. You use any document splitting information from documents in phase 0 for this. During the transfer, all checks are run on these documents as if they were being posted to active New General Ledger Accounting for the first time. The validation serves as preparation for these checks. It allows you to identify problem cases earlier on and to prepare the treatment for these cases. With the transfer, the balances are automatically written to New General Ledger Accounting.

●      Carrying Forward Balances

In the case of G/L accounts that are not managed on an OI basis, balances are transferred in totals, not by document. If you have to make adjustments due to changes in the financial statement structure, you can post these changes manually.

Once you have performed all migration steps productively, you finish the migration with the corresponding activity in the New GL Migration Cockpit. If you no longer require any comparison data for new posting periods, you can deactivate the update of balances from classic General Ledger Accounting.
