Activities After Successful Migration 

Use

After all migration steps have been performed completely, you then need to establish whether the migration is free of errors and whether the desired result has been achieved.

We recommend performing the required reconciliations with other application components beforehand in classic General Ledger Accounting, in particular the reconciliation of the subledgers with General Ledger Accounting.

Features

In Customizing, you find a range of IMG activities for checking the migration status. The activities are in the process tree of the New GL Migration Cockpit.

●      Check for complete and error-free execution of the migration.

●      Tools for document splitting.

●      To determine the origin of the balances in the balance carryforward in the totals table in New General Ledger Accounting, you can use a check program. A balance carryforward can result from the transfer of open items or from the transfer of the balance carryforward from one or more source ledgers.

●      To ensure and document the correctness of the entire migration, you have to compare classic General Ledger Accounting against New General Ledger Accounting by means of a ledger comparison.

The ledger comparison checks whether the values in the specified source and comparison ledgers agree. Since you can transfer data selectively from multiple source ledgers, you need to take this into account during the ledger comparison.

Besides the ledger comparison, reports from classic General Ledger Accounting are also available, such as RFBILA00 or RFFSLD00.

We recommend using a financial statement to document the posting data in classic General Ledger Accounting. You can do this using the classic reports before activating New General Ledger Accounting, or after activation, as required.

With the standard settings, running the reports after activation reads the data from New General Ledger Accounting; consequently, you have to change the data source to table GLT0 in Customizing.

For a period of transition after you have activated New General Ledger Accounting, you can still write documents to table GLT0 in classic General Ledger Accounting. This is useful in the following cases:

●      When you have your own reports that you can only convert to the new totals table over time.

●      When you want to use a transition phase to ensure that New General Ledger Accounting delivers the same results as classic General Ledger Accounting.

After the migration, we recommend performing a reconciliation of General Ledger Accounting with the subledgers so as to document in this way the correctness of the data from the accounting view at the outset. When you are certain that the data has been migrated correctly, end the migration in the New GL Migration Cockpit.

We recommend involving external auditors in the entire migration process as early as possible and to as great an extent as possible.
