Prior to Installing

Before you install SAP S/4HANA Finance, On-Premise-Edition, you must execute the following checks and activities to discover errors and system states that do not allow the installation of SAP S/4HANA Finance, On-Premise-Edition and the migration of data.

Activities

You perform the following activities in your test system and if you are using classic Asset Accounting, new Asset Accounting or the Simple Finance add-on 1.0.

Make sure that you have either posted or deleted all held documents.
from SAP Note 1939592, implement report RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK and test whether the necessary prerequisites for new Asset Accounting have been fulfilled using report RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK (Check on Prerequisites Before FI-AA Migration).
If you discover when executing report RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK that currency areas are missing, you have to create these first in a separate project and have the system determine the values.
You need the new depreciation calculation from the Enterprise Extension Financials Extension (EA-FIN). Check if the new depreciation calculation is active (SAP Note 965032). If necessary, implement the new depreciation calculation as part of a separate project.
Make sure that you have carried forward all of the balances in all applications to the current fiscal year. This also applies to the subledgers. Use the following transactions:
- FAGLGVTR, if you are using new General Ledger Accounting
- F.16, if you are using classic General Ledger Accounting
- AJRW, if you are using Asset Accounting
- F.07, if you are using Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

You perform the following activities in your test system and if you are using classic General Ledger Accounting, new General Ledger Accounting or the Simple Finance add-on 1.0.

Check whether the currency settings and the CO configuration in your system allow you to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA Finance. To do this, run report ZFINS_MIG_PRECHCK_CUST_SETTNGS. This report is found in SAP Note 2129306.

The following contain all further steps and activities that you have to perform before installation can take place.

Note Note

If you do not want to use Asset Accounting and are also not planning on using it in future, then note the following: You are not allowed to activate Asset Accounting during the migration. You must deactivate Asset Accounting instead by deactivating the component RAIN (Asset Accounting) in your system/clients in table TRWCA.

End of the note.
