Initialization in the Area of Securities

Use

For more information, see Initialization of Parallel Valuation Areas .

Procedure

  1. The initialization process comprises the following steps:

  2. When you define a valuation area you specify the existing valuation area from which the proposal for the initial business transaction is to be determined. In Customizing, choose Start of the navigation path Financial Supply Chain Management Next navigation step Treasury and Risk Management Next navigation step Transaction Manager Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Accounting Next navigation step Organization Next navigation step Assign Accounting Codes and Valuation Areas. End of the navigation path .The TRL initialization determines the position from the specified valuation area on the execution key date. This position is saved as the basis for the new valuation area in table TRLT_INIT_VAL_SE. The system also carries out consistency checks for the position in the initial valuation area.

  3. The position values determined are extracted from the operative valuation area and written to the database table TRLT_INIT_VAL_SEfor each parallel valuation area. Table TRLT_INIT_VAL_SE therefore contains data extracted from the specified (leading) valuation area for each valuation area.

    The following positions are not transferred:

    • Positions with zero units and zero nominal values

    • Positions with product categories or product types that have been excluded from the transfer to parallel positions in Customizing

      Table TRLT_INIT_VAL_SE serves as a target structure. This means that the TR ledger (that is to say the parallel valuation areas) is then structured on the basis of this data.

      Depending upon the valuation area, these position values must now be altered in accordance with the respective initial values of the individual accounting standards.

  4. Data from table TRLT_INIT_VAL_SE must be adjusted to position values from the old system. You can download data to an external system in order to adjust it. You can subsequently reimport the initialization file. Table TRLT_INIT_VAL_SE now contains the data transferred from the leading valuation area for each valuation area (with any changed position components in individual valuation areas).

  5. The initial business transactions are generated in this step.

  6. The transactions and positions are now updated to the parallel valuation areas.

  7. At this point you have the option of adjusting the position management procedure and the account assignment reference for the transferred business transactions. The system takes your Customizing settings as default values.

  8. The business transactions are now fixed and posted to the general ledger and special ledger. A posting log appears after each database commit with the business transactions posted to date.

  9. The system generates derived business transactions for the existing business transactions and posts them if required.

  10. The system blocks initial business transactions so that you can no longer make changes before the key date.
