Migration Without Document Splitting 

Use

In its simplest form, a migration to an environment without document splitting corresponds to the solution described under Quick Migration for Basic Scenario. Depending on which application components and solutions you use, you need to consider certain integrative aspects. In the case of a scenario without document splitting, migration is based on the assumption that specific document information or additional account assignments such as business area, profit center, or cost center, may exist but these characteristics may not have relate to the financial statement. This is the case, for example, if you create a profit and loss statement by business area or profit center and these additional account assignments are incomplete from the financial statement view, or if you use them without a zero balance posting (such as receivables and payables not by business area or profit center). In this case, this information is transferred into New General Ledger Accounting in a migration, but no information is enriched or derived for subsequent document splitting.

Activities

You need to perform the following activities for the migration to New General Ledger Accounting:

●      Customize the migration

You create the migration plan and assign the desired company codes to it.

●      Create worklists

○       For items still open on the key date that document the balance on the last day of the previous period

○       For documents that are posted on or after the migration date and thereby fall in the current fiscal year.

●      Transfer open items from previously created worklist

You build the general ledger line items in the new tables and create the balance carryforward (period 0 of the current fiscal year). In this step, all G/L accounts managed on an OI basis as well as the reconciliation accounts for customers and vendors are processed.

●      Transfer documents for current fiscal year from worklist.

The debit/credit totals of the G/L accounts are transferred by period and the entries are generated in the new line item tables. This affects all documents in tables BKPF and BSEG that were posted with a posting date >= migration date.

●      Create balance carryforward for all G/L accounts not managed on an OI basis

You create the balance carryforward of these accounts in an appropriate source ledger. This only concerns balance sheet accounts because all P&L accounts were carried forward to the retained earnings account at the end of the previous fiscal year.

●      Evaluate the migration status

You establish whether all data has been migrated successfully.

●      End the migration

You set the migration status to Completed.
